Well, it looks like we've got him at his peak haha.
So he played J2 and then got relegated, and seemed to have upped his level, going back to J3 with a goal or assist every second match. I'll definitely take that in A-League.
My first thought was it would be great to have another player with technique and smarts to compliment Mata. But looking at the highlights, he's more gangly than swift, reminds me of Reec haha!
Fingers crossed Blooms algorithms work. I'm not putting any money on this guy, but he probably is
Also surprised with Japan changing seasons that this is the best we could get from there. No one else interested? I know they have a mini tournament to try filling the gap between seasons, but it's only two or so matches. Maybe the Japanese players are tired and need this break? Although Duke is fine with it.

Much more money in J1 and J2. Was probably the best we could afford.Well, it looks like we've got him at his peak haha.

You can't blame fans for not turning up to see a J3 player unless he becomes a fan favorite
I'll match AI recruitment with AI review:
Charles Nduka is a seasoned Japanese-Japanese-Nigerian forward with solid experience in the J-League’s third and second tiers. His recent move to Melbourne Victory represents a meaningful step to test his abilities in Australia's top division. Expect him to bring physicality, aerial threat, and team play to the A-League — although marked goal-scoring may not be his primary trait.

I think we'd be looking at Nduka's conversion rate and projecting if we can create chances he'll score. We're creating a lot with Mata.

Jamestown Analytics works for Brighton and Hearts, so we will look at this recruiting decision with interest.
But my question is... why didn't we use Jamestown Analytics to recruit in lieu if this season?
We need to prioritise consistency. Very frustrating game and probably ends any chance we had of catching up with the leading pack.
Big game in Adelaide this week. I am hearing it is close to a sellout.

What a triggered entitled arsehole - if he and the players were actually held accountable, neither he nor ¾ of the squad would’ve still been at the club just before the flukey run of good form began.
