Miss the age cut off? Expand Simmons call up is interesting as his performance in the NPL squad has been a little underwhelming lately. He gives off vibes that he doesn't want to be at the club and personally I don't blame him feeling that way due to not even being selected for the A-League squad. LetsPele 1
BoyFromTheWest Posted Tuesday at 08:17 AM Posted Tuesday at 08:17 AM Frankly, if Badalato isn't on the team list, can't really see why Simmons, since coming back from injury, would be. As others have said, he hasn't exactly shone when he's been on the park. dodson and LetsPele 2

StringerBellend Posted Tuesday at 10:46 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:46 AM Weirdly you get th vibe the Stajinator doesn't really fancy Simmons much injury aside he's barely been in the team and to be fair to Stajilious when he has been in he's been far his best
mack Posted Tuesday at 11:08 AM Author Posted Tuesday at 11:08 AM He signed a 2 season contract extension in the middle of last season, then Rudan gets pushed out and the new guy would rather bring back Jarrod Carluccio from the 2nd worst team in the league. If Stajcic stays and never changes his mind on Simmons, that's 2 years down the drain in a youth team (I assume he's getting frozen out and isn't involved with the first team, that he's been in for 3 years) who will be lucky to survive relegation this season instead of playing A-League. And the only solution will be getting mutual and that could end up with him being dumped out of pro football while not getting paid for the last year of his contract. matty, EmMac and StringerBellend 3

Expand I don't get the Carluccio signing at all. Ok we were short at right back with Cleur injured but Simmons is a better right back that Carluccio (both are converted midfielders) and Badalatto is a better midfielder than Carlouccio. We basically have signed a guy who can play 'ok' in 2 positions, but isn't a starter in either and has less potential than the younger options we already had. File under pointless. matty, SBW and mack 3
MathyouWSW Posted Tuesday at 12:55 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:55 PM I've got a feeling that Staj had the intentions to use Carluccio off the bench and then replace either play as a left back replacing Clisby or replace Kraev as a left winger. Staj used him a lot at Glory so he obviously rates him. Carluccio is left footed (yet he gets mainly used as a right back or right winger). I would rather have him on the left side of the field. Carluccio is an ok player off the bench but there's better options ahead of him.

Staj doesn't want to use him at RB and would rather use him as a RW, while its his "natural position" his best position is RB and yet Cluer is actually having a really good season, and Panta as a utility. How quick football changes. BoyFromTheWest, Paul01 and sonar 3

Not sure why he would say no when he has no intention of playing him. I know all the talk early in the season was that he was going to promote the youth rather than overseas players, but so far Badolato has left, Simmons has been dropped to NPL, Barrie hasnt been sighted in the 20 man squad at all, Cameron played 1 game, number 49 played 30 seconds. But yet we signed Carluccio, Al Tay who arent any better than the young kids and Laws who hasnt been sighted? We lost the younger Nuiewonhoff to Roar who looks handy and in the games I watched looked better than Al Tay and Pelekanos!

Out of that lot only Priestmann had notable first team action with Rudan, Bonetig was in and out last season in favour of Beadling. Younis had a 2 year extension before leaving could return next season unless PSV decide to buy. Badolato as well contract expires next season which means he should return unless mutual termination occurs. We were talking earlier why we don't make use of the loan rules well we have with 2 players now. Not all the youth are going to make to first team that's just reality. I feel for Simmons because I think he is really good player and done well at RB, but injury and Cluer doing well has sidelined him and even when he could have played Staj opted for Panta another youth player.

Paul01 Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago 14 hours ago, GE942150 said: But will they be able to back up on time. Expand You are talking either China (Borello) or Middle-East (Panta, Hammond, Priestman). The only distance traveller is Kraev. And Rufer is suspended
Sithslayer1991 Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Staj may rotate the starting line up depending on how Priestmann, Panta and Kraev come back. The game in Wellington is at 3pm AEST on Saturday March 29th. We may see Laws and Pelekanos step in and even Antonsson up front depending on Borello and how many minutes he gets.
