I think there might be a big gulf within the Australian top flight between good teams and shit teams, as you find if you simply compare a player against the league over one season then the same couple of teams always have players who look obscenely good. Yer boy looks a very effective box to box type for the league, but Devlin looked a great passing midfielder for that league... ... and he looks a downgrade on him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a thread on him by an A League expert, seems to suggest he's much more creative than Devlin. https://twitter.com/PPetrov_FR/status/1680539253221015553?t=iC1x9j-rPfVJq1pazKexGg&s=19 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf it's all relevant info, but I like this kind of signing. Reading positive stories allows you to get all excited and wonder if you've got the next big thing before the realisation hits that you've signed a younger Oliver Bozanic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Another hour in the tank for Beni and Boyce today, can't wait to have them back in the fold. Especially Beni, he's the best outfield player at the club IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Beni comes back half the player he was he'd still be too good for Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really don't want to miss renewing your season ticket these days. You could be waiting years before you get the chance of another one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His passing is woeful. Tenacious and good at winning ball but too often does a daft pass to the opposition or is caught in possession. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Devlin was a Moneyball signing - signed for his stats on transitioning the ball from mid to front. I shuddered when I heard we were signing players based on stats, but, on balance, I think Devlin has been a good singing - I do wish his use of the ball was better, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least decision making is the kind of thing we can reasonably expect to improve with age He had, after all, really only played two 24 games seasons in the A League before he got here. Nieuwenhof has effectively only played one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nieuwenhof has effectively only played one It's hard not to like Devlin - if he can improve, that would be great - I think I read that Naismith has identified ways of getting even more of out him. We have decent numbers in midfield, so Nieuwenhof is a surprise when we really need players in other positions, but folk have said he might be better than Devlin. Even with those numbers in midfield, it's possible that Baningame and Haring could break down, and Pollock and Smith might not work out, so it's maybe not a bad idea to add in that area - probably needs freshening up, tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line about Zander Clark alone should see him get a lifetime ban from Tynie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
