Highlights can make anyone look good. His last few seasons were poor.

If he can turn himself around, train hard and still bang goals like that while staying away from tabletop dancing in Terrigal then great, I'd love to see him up front, hungry and scoring for us.

If not, then I'd rather not see us waste what little money we have on him.

Were they? These are his stats - and since we are comparing with Ross McCormack I have included his career stats to compare. Jason compares very favourably. As I said before - there is a good footballer in there.

P.S. Not convinced that this is anything but a rumour at this stage.

I was going by his interview and own comments mate. his teammate (and friend/interviewer) even mentioned his lack of goals.

I don't doubt that there may be a good footballer in there, he does display some good qualities on the field.

But like I said previously, if this rumour is real I hope he bangs goals and performs for us without leading the youth astray. I think he would be great to watch when he is on fire.

And then when he got to us........... fat, slow and done. What's he done since
What's cumquat done?
6 teams since 17-18.
15 goals in 65 league games in that time, which isnt a terrible return but that's 15 league games a yr for 4 goals.

Something happened after he left Hibs.

Not saying he cany do a job. But its high risk for a moneyball player when we've just got the culture and feel right. Feels like a Jets/Bulls/Wutd style signing.

Every visa player at the mariners is/was a gamble. We don’t have the budget to compete with the big teams on visa players, so we roll the dice.
In the last few years players that haven’t worked include McCormack, Kim, Ziggy, McGlunchy, Jair, Jankovich, Janota, Mallon, Graham, Astrubal and arguably so far Muller.

Ones that have paid off are Tommy H, Urena, Duric, and arguably Goddard will, and verdict is out on Nkololo for me.

We get players who other teams pass on, and hope our culture, coaching or the opportunity can get the best from them. Our conversion rate isn’t great, but that’s what happens on a budget.

This Scottish bloke falls into the same category or hoping we can get the best from them. If it’s was a clean, guaranteed high performing player, he would be signing for someone else on more money.

I think taking the risk with reliable back ups is the key, it negates the gamble. Finding someone spectacular can be countered by having stable and reliable on standby for when it possibly fails.

That's what managers didn't do right in the past, and it seems the true difference in the management style of monty.

Bit harsh on Muller, his one appearance was great and exactly what we needed to finish off the game. Still a long way to go in the season and now there will be a lot of make up games so he will get his turn and I feel will not let us down.

I’m reserving my judgement on CD and so far we are getting great results from all our players including the young guns. Look at Miller this season. If anyone can make this work it’s Monty.

Agree that without the misdemeanours he would be out of our league.

I included muller for the fact he was unwanted by other Aleague clubs, and it’s now Jan and we haven’t had a meaningful input from him. He has time to turn it around, but so far for a number of reasons hasn’t had an impact.

Mallon was only 18 at the time and put in some solid performances in the limited time he had
on the pitch... :popcorn:
