To be honest if we look at all the players coming off contract in the A League at the end of season it does not look good.
I feel particulary in the Striker department it is a no brainer all 2 or 3 that we are to sign will need to come from outside the League and I wish I knew of some viable options, I feel for next season we are likely to go back to Brazil and sniff around there quite aggressively even though we and other A Leaguers have had mixed results. Even though it has been mixed there seem to have had more success stories than non Australian players coming from Europe.
Even if we sign 2 half decent strikers:
How do we replace the best striker in the competition????
We dont have the best striker in the competition, that honour at present goes to Matt Simon who has scored 11 goals.
Smeltz has 7 goals and 5 penalties.
