With all the bigs that have been signed, I can't see how the Julian rumour can be true?
sign good players worry about how they play/fit together later

Great addition of youth & energy too!
What sort of question is asking if Boone re-signing is good. Obviously didn't watch him during the season.
Utd looking good, Kings... lol

Likely won't be renewing my Utd membership this season for lifestyle reasons (mature age back to uni, this is one of the unfortunate sacrifices), but was realllly eager to see this guy resigned and am now disappointed I won't get to see him play week in and out.
Great addition to the team. Brings a lot of maturity and game IQ.
If your a uni student tho it's even more reason to go ... The prices for concession membership are so good. Almost half price
United always look good then we all realize they're actually not good when they play.
they've thrown more money around than anyone yet can't even make the playoffs - how are they paying anyone else when Goulding is on what - 350K? Then Anderson 400K while also probably giving Boone 150 - 200K. Still have 2 imports to pay along with Majok, Adnam, Khazzouh and Wesley... they must be smashing the soft cap.
Must have Moller getting 3 years free accommodation playing for them while he works part-time at Coles.

Don't assume because they've "failed" a few times with stacked lineups that they will continue to.
The resources United have is a huge advantage and at some point they'll use their resource advantage to manage a staked side that works.
It's like Real Madrid early 000s, they eventually got it right.
Goulding tree fiddy? More chance the loch ness monster is real.

Goulding was playing overseas (in a decent comp?) and already had a top shelf reputation before leaving, he wouldn't have come back for chump change... I think $350K would be fairly close to the mark...
Having a decent coach who knows the league and will have the players respect will go a long way to Unitards success in the coming season as well...

Boone looked great for United. Good to have him back in the league.

Before the start of last season Goulding re-signed with MU to a 2 year deal for $400k a year.
Source?
I doubt it. Otherwise NBL have gone batshit crazy after years of lean payroll.

Boti mentioned it a few times on his blog right before Goulding re-signed. Go look it up yourself.
