Not saying we should have signed him coz all thats all water under the bridge now but Caravella looks to have matured into quite a handy footballer. He was easily man of the match a couple of weeks ago when I watched him playing for the Jets and he looked classy against us for 25 mins until he got munted by Brockie.
That kind of player would be handy for us in midfield. Someone who can play the short and long passes well with either feet. He was dropping deep to pick the ball up from the defenders and then distributing it before moving forward and linking up with the attackers around the box. Always l;ooked to have lots of time on the ball which is always a sign of a good player.
That sort of player could provide the link up to Hernandez. I actually don't think we are currently too far off whats required to get a good squad. If we can keep Gamiero, get a couple of quality midfielders, move Muscat back to RB and get a quick LB then we are nearly there. To me we are short of about three quality players....the rest of the starting 11 is of OK A-League standard. Its all about getting those right recruits and especially getting a coach who can get the best out of them.
People have been bagging Stein and Fenton and Boyd but IMO if you get the right support players and get the tactics right then they will very good for us.
