Heard a former FC player saying to his mate at DW gym that your not looking at bringing anymore in for 2011, its going to be a 'give the kids a go' season (not knocking it, I applaud it if true.)

Makes you wonder why we've been offering players contracts and telling the press which positions were interested in strengthening then.

You'll have to do better than that, we don't need your applause, poor trolling attempt, you have a vivid imagination, we are talking to several players, so you won't have to worry about blistering your hands clapping!

Lets be honest unless the club make some sort of statement on who they intend to have in the squad next season the pass sales will be reduced

I agree, especially as we are looking at a price increase for next season.

That's why I believe some announcements will be made soon after the season pass brochures come out.

Would rather sign Jarryd Hickey than Dowes,

or.............

not resign Dowes, move Fitz or Lauaki to prop,
this would release more cap space to sign a better overseas player.

Well I'm not convinced, but it appears that many on here are of the opinion that we are going to go well next year, well from this fans perspective at least half of the team need to play their bloody socks off to get us anywhere near the next level.

Some people seem to have very short memories wrt injuries, last season wasn't unique for us, in fact it was closer to the norm in terms of our recent injury record.

Why do some people think that next year is going to be any different, particularly as our 'key' players are either the wrong side of 30 and or injury prone, in fact for this fan Mark Calderwood has good reason to feel aggrieved at the way he has been shown the door, I can think by that rationale, there are a couple of players he should have been behind, had it not been for his contract being up.

What concerns me is that we always bring in old(er) players to give the younger players some experience and the side some stability and momentum, then 2 years later we have a clear out and start again. This looks like being the cycle we are embarking on, 2012 will be clear out time again with new faces in (the next installment of giving 'Agars team' a chance), wheres the stability? How many 'Agars teams' do we have to put up with?
