I think the underlying issue is the feeling that our successful acquisitions from other A-League clubs (i.e. players who have performed over a period of time, e.g. Dura) have been players still wanted by their current club but the players have, for whatever reason, chosen the Nix ahead of their current club.
 
This contrasts with the high % of players unwanted by their current club (i.e. rejects) who we have picked up and have turned out to be flops (e.g. Diego & Kwasnik).
 
I think the concern is that if another A-League club doesn't want to hang on to a player there is usually a good reason be it behaviour, ability, injury problems etc.
 
I think we will have 2 foreign import slots available + an Asian slot  next season - watching the Roar last night my hope is we can find a Solorzano and Enrique (?) of our own or another Ifill.
 
For other positions there is nothing wrong with picking up players from other A-League clubs let's just get some decent ones. Picking up players sitting on the bench for other A-league clubs isn't going to get us competitive with the Roar, GCU etc.
