I went to a Perth Glory game about twenty years ago and was surprised at the quality, around League 2, National League standard, although much of that quality came from Eastern European imports.
One full back was superb, so good on the ball, I alerted the club when I got back. No reply.
Would you say that the A League is slowly improving? Has the number of imports reduced? |
I think it has improved defensively with more organised coaching, but the overall quality is not higher than lower league 1. There are some decent players that play in that league.
I think they still have a lot of imports but could be wrong. |  | |  |

he must be on the spectrum , sorry but come on |
More pig-ignorant, apparently board-acceptable, snook-cocking at the autistic. How embarrassing (for you)!
Your guardian animal appears apposite, however, as it sounds like you've the brains of one! |  |

I’ve watched the A-League since it’s inception and would agree it’s probably League 1 standard generally. That said, some of the more technical players are well suited to the championship. Some of the best football I’ve ever seen was watching Brisbane Roar during the Ange Postecoglou era so our league sometimes gets it right. In Australia we have 4 football codes so the best athletes get torn in different directions and our national team suffers from this as the pipeline is not as full as it is in most other countries which holds us back.
I’ve seen Pearlman play and he is a good one for the future who should do well for us. |  |

Is he playing championship manager and using players he's found on it |
Has any one from the club actually seen this boy in the flesh or is he just a bunch of statistics on a lap top and a few you tube clips?
Sorry, sounds more like a lottery ticket to me. But that I suppose, is the only chance this club has of winning big. Fingers crossed then.
However, if we can bring in a couple of proven, known quantities from clubs lower down the pyramid from this country, then we might be getting somewhere.
I also wonder why we have decided to let Saito go? One of the few bright sparks from last season. | | | |

Ah yes, Koki Saito. 3 goals and 3 assists in 39 appearances, how we'll miss your contribution. | | | |

Alex Wilkie, Cian Dillon and Alfie Tuck look like being good examples of recruitment from UK clubs lower in the pyramid.
Saito came in with a permanent contract in view so you'd expect the club to make an announcement one way or another in the next week or so. |  | | |

Thought I’d seen him on a released list somewhere. Hope I’m wrong. | | | |

Cian Dillon was recruited from outside the UK. A place called Ireland. The Devil’s in the detail dmm. |  | | |

That was an almost unforgivable sin on my part. My sincere apologies to you and the Emerald Isle. | | | |

On this occasion dmm you are forgiven but to atone you must forthwith drink a pint of Guinness whilst loudly affirming, forgive me Arthur for my geo-political nomenclature is questionable. | | | |

Askey? Conan Doyle? Brown? I'll drink the pint gladly, but who is this Arthur? | | | |

Well it’s not Conan Doyle who funnily enough I’m reading at this very moment. The Arthur in question you know well. In fact my good man I can’t believe you’re asking. You’re certainly no Sherlock Holmes 😆 | | | |

Ever more clear to me that we're planning for the medium/long term, in terms of what talent is affordable and creating future value.
Of course how we survive in the Championship in the meantime is another matter! |
Surviving in the Championship is overrated. Its only value lies in the fact that the Championship is where you get promoted to the Prem from. If your plan is Prem after five years but you're not a realistic contender for the automatic spots this year, you're literally better off spending years 2-4 in League One than spending them in the Championship. | | | |

“Contribution” is defined by more than goals and assists. Unless you’re a stats based pleb with no appreciation for things like work ethic, attitude and availability to play, along with future potential.

He did OK last season and always played with a smile, which many found endearing. However, we have Smyth, Chair, Dembele and Sutton, all of whom are tiny and play as wingers. Given our budget and the obvious imbalance in the squad, do we really need him to return? |  |

He's free and cheap wages with potential sell on and would allow Sutton to go on loan. Also better than Smythe or Dembele. |  | | |
