As frustrating as this season has been, we are one of the clubs that were forced into playing far more youth minutes than we would have if everyone was fit. That does lead to a decent starting point for next season. I would be getting rid of all imports bar Oluwayemi - I do think there is a decent keeper worth an import slot there, shot stopping in the A-League is a key attribute, and if he does stay, playing out from the back should be situational not the norm. I would be bringing in a Visa 10 and a Visa CB as the priority signings. If one or both Japanese* imports leave, you can add a Visa Winger and/or a Visa CM (a LB that can invert and push into midfield would also help with pushing play forward). If Kosta leaves, you'd change the Visa Winger to a Visa 9. Something along those lines would get us competitive.
