Socceroo Manager Graham Arnold was asked in the pre game World Cup qualifier press conference about his decision to call Nisbet into the Socceroo squad,This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
so as you asked, rather than just listen to my opinion I thought his view on Nisbet might carry a bit more weight.
He said, word for word
“ He’s a very good kid and put that aside, he’s a very, very good player.
He’s a smart player.
He reads the game very well.
You can see at the Mariners just even if you are not involved, you can see from the sideline and from afar watching it on TV that he’s a leader on the field.
He’s coaching players.
He’s scanning all the time.
He makes smart runs and technically he’s good.
So he’s not here just because he’s a good kid, he’s here because he’s a very good player.
And my expectations are that he’ll improve”

*I'm assuming we'd offer higher wages, but I've no idea what the money's like in the Australian league so I could be completely wrong.

A good footballer in Australia will hardly be on the breadline though and if it's someone who is smart, understands the "short career" nature of football and makes plans to do something after their football career then the benefits of staying there, bringing kids up there etc might be greater than lugging them around the world for 6 months here, a couple of years there.
In football terms, the cash very much seems to be on these shores. I just wonder if we'll ever see a reversal of the most recent trend of movement of players from Australia to here though?
I'm gutted I left it too late to make my own move there.

I'd be disappointed if we weren't looking at better players than Josh Nisbet from Central Coast Mariners

I think he should be under serious consideration for signing. Nae mistake he’s the lynchpin as they charge to the top of the table again. Considering they shed half their team as well. Laddie must have something. And if he’s running down his contract then it’s a virtual free hit. Sign him up.

Nisbet will be fine here with some thermals.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I reckon their management would have viewed it the way I kinda do with this possible target..the best player currently in his country, in the current national squad, highly thought of by the national coach, out of contract in 3 months so no transfer fee involved, and well thought of by those who have actually regularly seen him play……..
I’ve got no doubt we ARE also looking at better players than Josh…at least I hope we are ….and if every signing we make is of a better player than he is, then I’ll be a very happy man.

We must be odds on to sign him. A player the manager knows, I’d be very surprised if we aren’t already in contact with him about coming over.

I’d be absolutely delighted if we signed him. He’s technically a very good footballer with good feet.
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

Loads of folk seem to be positive on Nisbet and with his links to Monty and his desire to play in Europe can see it happening.

Nisbet has quality as well adding him and having NMW Newell Amos Levitt Campbell all signed would be good options possibly lacking in physicality for our league though would probably still need to find a holder type

If you believed everything he writes Josh Nisbet would already be a Melbourne City player, and he claimed Hibs had opted for Monty as manager, because he had ‘impressed current owner Ron Gordon’……despite the fact that Ron had passed away months earlier.
My view on Nisbet is clear….I see him as a welcome addition and had he been playing in the Scottish championship say, he would have been snapped up by now by one of our competitors.
The other player mentioned..Farrell…would be a great understudy to Jordan Obita in his first season, and a future outstanding SPL player after that.
I’d be surprised if both players don’t move at the end of the season..however, while Nisbet will be a free agent, Farrell has a year on his contract and any move would involve a transfer fee.
Both players would most definitely improve our squad.

He’s starting to blossom this season, but not yet to the point where I’d recommend Hibs sign him.
Steele is another I do not think would most likely add value to our current squad.
I’ve said enough about Nisbet probably, and live in hope of an announcement, but have also been and still am a strong advocate of Hibs signing Farrell.
He’s the best left back in Oz, a shy laddie who looks like a skinny malinky…but is as tough as nails and tackles as hard as the closing of a crocodile’jaws!
Monte coached him through the Mariners Academy and there is a strong mutual respect there.
He’s arguably still a bit raw, but would definitely improve at ER and would push Obita all the way for starting position imho.
Definitely one I’d like to see us go for, although we’d probably have to part with a hefty fee to get him this season, whereas we could sign him for nowt when his contract expires this time next year……although I think it’s likely a European club try to sign him this coming summer window, so if we wait, we probably lose out.
Again…..all the above my opinion…from having seen them all perform many times, both on the telly, and in the flesh.no doubt others may have different views.

For those like myself who maybe didn't see CCM lately . Highlights here of their last game . Nisbet with a goal and a assist.

The guy might be great, but we’ve already got a good left back, and we can only play one.
