When did Coveny and Thompson ever play on the same side ?
Huh? Oh I got Melbourne Victory and Melbourne South mixed up. My bad.
Anyway Thompson is better than Coveny. But it was only a suggestion to beef up the front end. After having defence is tighted, tidying up some the midfield ball service, gaining that one clean quality finisher, would get us contending for the title.
It's unlikely we get him, but he is marquee standard and to buy him as such and remove him from the next most likely title contender in Melbourne Victory is ideal.
But he is ideal type of striker we need to nab the title. Forwards getting goals win games, and defence stopping goals prevent lost games.
