In reality is the January window the right time to be making long term signings.At this stage the only players available are those who are off contract. Not exactly the cream. Most A league contracts will run to the end of the season in April and northern hemisphire to June. At this stage shouldn`t we be trying to secure contracts with the players in the squad we want to retain. (Which we are). What if Manny doesn`t re-sign? If that happened it would have a significant impact on the players we look out. I`m sure Ricki and the club are well aware of the players of interest who will be available at the end of the season. These players should be our target. Wouldn`t it be nice to have a full 23 man squad come the 1st of July. Short term pain for long term gain.
