For some reason I wasn't watching this thread! Corrected that! I am actually sad to watch Thrier go but he was starting to get up there in age. Garat was a great servant but long in the tooth as well. To be honest nothing really surprising in these cast-offs. I am always amazed that they sign Jackle year after year I have never rated him much. I do fear though that they will lose Mats Hammerich his 2 goal performance in the last match of the season did nothing to diminish his value just drawing more attention to himself. I am pretty sure he will be with an RSL team next season rumour has it Grasshopper.
