Off contract Kiwi and Australian goalkeepers that are similar to or better than Josh:
- Oli Sail
- Nik Tzanev
- Mat Ryan
- Tom Glover
- Ashley Maynard-Brewer
- Nicholas Bilokapic
- Macklin Freke
- Andrew Redmayne
- Jack Duncan
- Jack Warshawsky
- Dean Bouzanis
Ryan, Glover, Maynard-Brewer and Bilokapic are obviously all out of the question.
Personally I’d happily take Tzanev, Freke or Duncan. Jordan Holmes is also off contract in 2027 and I imagine WSW could potentially get mutual with him.
With a few decent options available, surely it makes sense to let Josh go and use his import spot somewhere else. There are other positions that we won’t be able to fill with local players.
no really that’s just you hyperventilating there. Also it’s a tiresome way of arguing to say ‘Some people think…’ Usually it’s a straw man argument. Use the quote and argue with what people are actually saying.
Only Ryan or Tzanev and possibly Glover equal or better than Paulsen, Marinovic, Kurto and top form Sail.
Haven’t seen much of Freke. Duncan has the advantage of knowing the club and many of the players.
I think it’s possible AKH or McCarron could be pushing for a start at some point. But also remember how long Sail and Paulsen waited and the good that competition did them. And Kosta too, just for that.
