SQUAD FOR 2015/16 SEASON - no Griff, no party

[borat]

If we have put an offer into Saba then you would think the overseas recruiting trip is to replace Montano and likely to be the marquee (if legit). Yes its included in the foreign quota.

Also its unlikely SFC will make an offer considering they are trying to re-sign all their foreign contingent.

[&1gest]

Saturday and sunday the 20/21 June is the round of 32

This is according to the NPL draw which has that weekend off for the games. Just looked it up, that must be northerns qualifying games.

Round of 32 is late July. My apologies.


Gosford away in July!

July -August .......Coast away tuesday or wednesday night... perfect

[MFKS]

So stubbins is really just on a holiday while he's making the rest of the squad train!

Make no mistake it the Jets have not been training last week.
If the reason I heard as to why they ain't is legit they will not be training this week eithér

The whole Sydney link makes me less confident in the link all together.

You would hope Saba second time around in the a-league would be more hungry to prove himself considering he failed wankerers. Certainly has the talent I think to dominate in this league, not sure he has the composure or enough discipline tho.

[MFKS]

From a player NO

Done a few community appearances etc

But no running around Ray Watt kicking balls etc

[Mark325]

We'd be making a huge mistake getting rid of Montano, and if it really comes down to him or Saba I'm picking Montano. He realistically got 7 goals last season if the linesmen against Wanderers wasn't an idiot, factor that into missing some shots he probably could've netted and in my opinion he easily could have had 12 odd goals this season which is solid.
Add that into the fact that he is just a genuinely good player and I see no reason to get rid of him

[Hunter403]

Only keep him if we're gona give him someone to play from or play to, IMO he's alot like a Heskey type player but he cant do it standing alone up front, MacLaren is making his mind up whether to goto melb or the jets in the next few weeks and is after game time, the jets can offer him that game time, and play him off montano like a heskey and fowler/owen combo and he can bang quite a few in. Thats just my opinion anyway

Montano is one of those players that seems to divide opinion, either your a big fan of him or you think he is useless...doesn't seem to be too much middleground. I've seen enough of him this season to see that he has a lot to offer and has the potential to be a >10 goals per season striker in the A League, but like with everything at this club, so much hinges on the fact that we have this Muppet calling the shots, can't coach just a "glorified try-hard English-type Manager wannabe"!!!

Montano sorts out those who knows what's going on and those with no ****ing idea on the big picture.

Anyone who knows about football knows that with a decent coach and a decent team this bloke will be a success in this league.
The rest of them just reinforce their stupidity.

Let's not alienate fellow fans. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and it probably has a lot to do with the style of play an individual wants to see.

I am firmly in the "I heart Montaño" camp, but I don't automatically disregard those who don't see his value.

His finishing though
For a striker... Very average

6 goals one legit one ruled out
Hit the woodwork probably 6 times and all off ****ing scraps cause of his inept teammates and his inept Muppet and this inept club.
The bloke will succeed next season more than he did this one if we persevere even with ineptness around him

What do you guys reckon about us making a play for La Rocca from WSW? I think we should go after a player like him. Looks like he's on his way out. He's a proven player in the league

Was signed originally as a CB but has played mostly CM. Not the worst versatility in the league.

I find him a solid enough A-League player. Ideally I'd love for us to be aiming much, much higher quality for that pivotal CM/CDM role but in the context of our team, I think he'd be a good pickup.

Rumours are strong that he's already signed with Perth though. Also I know his agent loves to shop him to the MLS a bunch.

I honestly dont know how perth are "signing" or being linked to so many players. Golec, Bulut, La Rocca. Anderson

Perth have 7 guys coming off contract (inc DDS, Rostyn Griffiths, Maclaren). They'll also more than likely lose some players who have lost faith in their ownership/administration (recent rumours say Vukovic and Jamieson to WSW).

Golec seems to be signed. La Rocca seems close, if not signed. I have doubts over Bulut staying in the country. Anderson will go where he gets gametime - which I assume is not Perth unless they move on Thwaite or Djulbic.

Shite's me when people say he is too slow to be a striker, to me that is just so old school......so if a striker isn't running around like a chook with no head, then he is not effective!!! It's the same mentality where people think as long as you kick the ball forward (doesn't matter if it goes straight to the opposition) that is all that matters. I agree with Member here if you think Montano is not good enough than you seriously have NFI about the game!!!

[pv4]

It's not all that matters m8. Taking the ball to the corner flag when you're winning is important too.

Maclaren is not off contract. He signed a 3 year deal when he joined Glory in 13/14.

He is trying to get out of his contract, hence the speculation, but SST are saying Perth won't release him

Gentlemen's agreement? **** that, cut throat nature of football. Your club ****s up and your good players are available, tough luck.

Like Coasties agreeing to not play Fabio F against Adelaide, ffs.

[BodyNovo]

yeh something like that

defo agree but

**** the gentlemen's agreement

[pv4]

The gentlemens agreement was by the owners. Reportedly 8 out of 10 of the owners agreed not to sign any Perth player who were asking Perth for a release, and asked to join their club. They didn't name the 2 clubs that did not agree to the agreement (but I am fairly sure judging by the rumours that WSW are one of them, and possibly MV are the other), but Tinkler was first and foremost rallying for it.

[pv4]

Maclaren is not off contract. He signed a 3 year deal when he joined Glory in 13/14.

My bad, carry on.

[MFKS]

This gentleman agreement

Can guarantee that the likes of Smurfs Victree etc would happily pick over the Glory carcass and will probably be just waiting until their season is over before getting stuck in

Us on the other hand are pretty good at lying and not living up to promises every other day of the week will be the only club that will honour the gentlemen agreement flying in the face of everything we live by all cause Tinkler and Sage are buddies and what not

I think it's only us and the Wankerers who've started inquiring about players. "Hey guys who wants to leave a bunch of cheats to join a bunch of Muppets who can't win games?"

Does anyone think we will sign another keeper? Not SHOULD we sign another keeper, i mean do you think they realise we only have 1 on the books? If so, who is available?

You guys can fap off over big name Aussie marquees.

Have it on good authority a player agent was asked by Jets to sound out a big name Aussie player he has on his books

Player agents response was to Jets he wasn't even gonna ask his man about Jets as he thought player would sack him on the spot


Make no mistake about it amongst any decent Australian player Newcastle Jets name is currently turd

You are missing the point, the Jets will make an enquiry for a player but their Manager will be saying "No thanks".
We are at the bottom of the barrel for the A League, we will only get the scraps and the players who are desperate and can't get a gig elsewhere.
Sure we can jag a decent overseas player like Lee and Alivodic but shit I would be very VERY surprised if we were to get a big name ex-Socceroo to come here.

Despite what Stubbins says we have 14 players under contract, so the club needs to do something with Biraz and Carney. I would guess between them their Cap number is at the very least 300k. That's a lot of money that we will need to spend.

If this latest bad press about late wages is still lingering come mid next week, I expect a signing announcement around that time to try and gloss over the bad press.

I think stubbins/jets should sign spainish players as adelaide did. With spains economy still not as strong as previously, now is the perfect time. Look where adelaide are now.
I would be looking at defensive midfielder, left winger and a striker.

My players
Oscar sielva 23, def mid , former spain under 17 & 19. Swansea under 21. Now playing spainish 3rd tier.

Marquitos 28 , former spain under age international. Left winger. La liga experience. Played for Villareal, real sociedad and valladoid. Currently with sabadell in second tier.

David torres 28, striker, spainish
Currently with Platanias chania in greece super league.

Others could include
Gerardo Bruna arg 24, left winger previously youth player at real madrid and liverpool

Cristian lopez 25 spainish striker previously with huddesfield.

All are free agents at seasons end . I would make Marquitos the marqee.

## Themba Muata-Marlow 16/17
## Nigel Boogaard - 17/18

Trainee = 1
25. Brandon Lundy - 15/16

Hopefully Carney and Neville stick around the under new coach if/when that happens.

Would be a nice back 4 then
Neville
Boogaard
Mullen
Carney / Leaky

This Themba Muata-Marlow is that actually confirmed??

I know the signing looked imminent but have not heard of it being completed

[lil_masi]

Themba was never officially signed. Also with lundy was he signed as part of our 23 man squad or apprentice? Every article says first professional contract

[The Postman]

Was just going off what the Herald had in the paper today.

Their list had 15 Senior players and Lundy (trainee).

If correct that's 8 spots to fill plus 2 more Trainees.

[Imyourhero]

Sign Coe, Nabbout and Hersi

Do not sign Hersi - not worth it

[Tommyjet]

No to hersi

Need to remember that the players have all been offered like for like contracts, they don't have to accept them, if I'm a half decent player agent I should be talking to whoever is interested to see if I can get a better deal, its not like the FFA is going to withdraw the contract offer, would be a PR disaster so the agent has the chance to shop the player around and worse case accept the FFA deal.

Issues are players away on holidays may not be accessible to Newy if they have gone Interstate or Overseas

Other thing was PFA were advising the players to refrain from signing on for now en masse until they have sorted out a few issues with FFA in regards to super entitlements etc

I was spruicking the idea of holland coming back pretty well as soon as the season finished, ideal for what we are missing in midfield

[borat]

In the midfield we have Pepper, Kanta, Cooper & Barresi already signed on. Both Barton and Holland would be a waste IMO, but 1 dominant central midfielder is a must.

[Mark325]

Cooper's best work is as an attacking mid, not anywhere else and Barresi is also apparently an attacking mid who I'd assume would be the same. This leaves us with either Pepper or Kanta. Kanta is the better player but even then I don't feel he should be a starting player, definite potential to be great but still needs some work. We could easily do with signing two definitive starting mids for my money

Centrally it was usually Milligan and Valeri with Finkler adding the attacking flair.....compare this to what we have left as stated above, Pepper, Kanta, Cooper and Barresi and you can see that before even a ball is kicked in anger our midfield roster is not even close to being at the level it is required to be to be even competitive.

And I thought this level of delusion was only found on Liverpool forums.

Eugene is far and away the best, but the rest are pretty shonky:

Tandoori Veflappy - useless

Nathan Coe - solid but nothing flash

BK - ditto

Janjetovic - can't command his box

Liam Reddy - nutcase

Glen Moss - solid but nothing flash

Jaime Young - too much weights, not enough speed work bru

Ante Covic - past it, lost his agility


Vukovic is nothing flash in the net, and he easily has the worst lisp in the league now that Ljubo has left. Given that he played for the scum for a few seasons should rule him out.

Without a question Vuka is only second to Eugene. If anyone disputes this I can only say they musn't watch too many A League matches. The guy saved Glory's arse numerous times not only this season but last season also and at his age he is just entering his peak years.

Since Coe went out injured, definitely. But then I think back to the Thomas that played a few games earlier in the year and the one that was so bad he couldn't keep Velaphi out of the line up... and I wonder if he really is that much better than BK.

[furns]

Considering he is only 23 and was also previously the u17's and u20's Socceroos GK, I think that he has a bright future. As with all young 'uns he will have ups and downs.
So long as he is fazed thats good enough for me.

Great news.

[Jeterpool]

If the news of Pepper leaving for WSW is true, i'm a bit mixed about how I feel though I think it's a positive overall. While it will be disappointing to lose a local, the contribution from the midfield (and not just him) over the last few years has been less-than-adequate.

Our midfield needs an overhaul. It needs to contribute goals. In 225 combined appearances for the Jets, the midfield of Kantarovski, Pepper and Caravella contributed 3 goals and 10 assists. This puts too much pressure on the forwards to score, create or the defenders to chip in with goals. Scott Neville has the same number of goals as these 3 players combined.

This is another squad spot open for our new manager with which they can bring in a player of their choosing, should it happen.

However, I'll always remember that double against the Victory. It promised so much at the time.

13 players recommit to Jets


Newcastle Jets are pleased to announce that the vast majority of the players presented like-for-like contracts with the re-energised Hyundai A-League club have now recommitted their playing futures to the side from Hunter Stadium.

Nigel Boogaard, Lee Ki-je, Enver Alivodic, Ben Kennedy, Ben Kantarovski, David Carney, Mitch Cooper, Daniel Mullen, Andy Brennan, Josh Barresi, Radovan Pavicevic, and Themba Muata-Marlow have each committed to playing their part in the development and success of the new Newcastle Jets.

Moreover, Brandon Lundy (Foxtel National Youth League contracted player) has informed club management that he will be staying with the Jets. Lundy's arrangements are close to being finalised.

Incoming Newcastle defender and respected senior player Boogaard believes the players plainly understand the potential of the club and want to play a key role in helping it reach its on and off field goals.

“Obviously news that so many players have recommitted says a lot about the faith they have in the area and how they can see the club going forward,” Boogaard said from Adelaide where he is enjoying his final few days living in the city of churches before moving back to the Hunter.

“It’s obviously pleasing that the boys that have been in and around the club over the last year, or however long they have been at the Jets, have seen the potential that the place has got.”

“It’s certainly encouraging to see that so many boys have committed given they had the opportunity to go elsewhere if they wanted to. To see them stick around gives me confidence that the group that is already there is committed to the cause and really wants to turn things around,” he said.

Boogaard added that he never had any thoughts not to sign his deal with his hometown Hyundai A-League side in the wake of the club’s recent ownership shift.

“When I made a commitment to the club I knew I would fulfil it,” Boogaard said. “For me it doesn’t matter who is in charge, I just want to be involved and do my part to turn things around back there and hopefully have a few successful seasons.”

Newcastle can also confirm that 26-year-old defender Scott Neville and 23-year-old midfielder Jacob Pepper have opted to take up offers from a rival Hyundai A-League club.

The Jets wish Neville and Pepper well in their future endeavours and thank them for their service to the club.

The club has no current update to provide regarding the playing future of goalkeeper Mark Birighitti.

Bit annoyed with the departure of Nev.

We backed him in with a contract not more than 5 mins after doing a ACL and with Stubbins getting the flick he should have been happy.

[MFKS]

Anyone pissed that Neville is gone should look no further than Muppet and Tinkler and their disgraceful running of the club.

The bloke is one of the few loyal players who actually stood up for the club and put what was actually right before their career.

Salute out to him

As for Pepper I can understand the departure of Andrew Hoole who at the time was stuck living the Muppet and Tinkler show if he chose to stick around. The bloke can be forgiven for turning his back on Newy at the time as it was the right decision.

Pepper on the other hand has chosen to turn his back on Newy when the future at least looks brighter. When a local boy doesn't want to play for the club it says something.

room to sign regan, he deserves a spot

i respectfully disagree. despite the fact that he's local as and has been loyal to the club through its darkest period, he simply isn't that great. he's a consistent player but he's consistently a 5-6/10. as brutal as it is, this of all times is indisputably the time to cut any dead weight (if only kennedy wasn't retained, sigh) and start fresh.

[hawk]

Anyone pissed that Neville is gone should look no further than Muppet and Tinkler and their disgraceful running of the club.

The bloke is one of the few loyal players who actually stood up for the club and put what was actually right before their career.

Salute out to him

wat? He stayed like a trooper through the sh1t times and just as things are about improve he jumps. spastic.

the career carers are out in force again, didums

[tomo]

BK is about par for the league. He's certainly not a huge change from Nix, City, either Sydney side or the scum. He's better than early season Thomas and Young as well.

Interesting to see what happens at both those clubs what Vuka and Theo the starting pair.

I have to disagree. IMO kennedy is the laziest keeper in the league. He's happy to stand and watch a free kick go in without even attepting to dive... Then blow up at the defence... After he set the wall

Everyone has their own opinions of every player, and for me, kennedy just doesnt cut it as a first choice keeper at a-league level

One of the few blokes who actually stood up to Muppet.

Besides the 5 who got sacked the other 3 Lundy Roundabout and Carravella who all at least held their ground and kept their view.

I got more time for these blokes than the rest of them combined who dogged it and let that **** see out the season.

One looks like his HAL career is over One who has decided for a change of scenery and the other the youngest in the squad who put his career on the line before it even started.

All ****ing heroes

thats the bit i also salute but... why leave now?

I am not surprised as I was told he would be looking to move on and get a release regardless of anything that happened with Muppet. The shit that went down mid season upset him that much he wanted out on a principle.

My sauce said he hated Muppet the most out of everyone in the squad and for that he deserves repect

Would you prefer Reddy, Necevski, Janjetovic, Redmayne, Velaphi, Moss? That's the level that first choice keepers are in the league and he's about there.

100+ Games for the Club coming up to 10 years service, local lad who could probably go on to be a one club player, coming into the prime age of a footballers career and is well on to his way to becoming a great Club servant.
Yeah he had/has floors in his game and his worked/working hard to eradicate those floors, I think people are stuck in there judgement of BK from 4-5 years ago where he wasn't half the Keeper he is now.

It's a real shame how some Novacastians treat our Club servant's there's even the fraction of Supporters who hate Griffo, these people are on the rung just under Gypos.

[pv4]

Sign Čović

[Premy]

Sign ČovićAs Goal Keeping Coach? Yeah good idea.

[Grimario]

Lawrence Thomas
The best option available

Except he's not available, is he? And his 6 decent games to go with the ten shit ones he had in the previous three seasons... Meh.

More interested to see what happens in Brisbane. Theo and Young are both likely to want first team football.

Doubt Lawrence is going to want to ride the pine this season, backup to Vuka, after playing well in the A-League Grand Final.

[hawk]

Where do you play Carney? Too slow/old for LB and Alivodic is a better option for LW

Well, Alividic is a stabbins sympathiser so first, we shave his head and 2nd on the bench. then Carney can use him as a footstool

[Thomas477]

Putting aside the length of time BK has stayed at the jets, do we really want a team full of par for the a league players, or do we want to be the best? To be the best you don't have par players starting. Look at the GF winning keepers, barring Thomas, you have Covic, Theo, Theoklitos, Bolton etc. They were the best keepers in the league that year, or close to it, and unfortunately, I don't think BK is up to those high standards. Great backup player, would probably be one of the best no. 2s in the league, but if we want a successful, winning team, I can't see BK being the starting keeper.

[The Camel]

BK was a Stubbins sympathizer too wasn't he. Certainly didn't turn down the captaincy like other. Same with Regan. Don't want him back for not sticking by his team mates

👍🏻 100%

[GazFish35]

Let's not allow the legacy of Stubbins' time in charge be more division about who sided with who.

Recriminations can be left for after these blokes have left the club.

If we keep dragging up who said what, who sided with who, we'll end up back where we were.

[Jeterpool]

In my opinion...

Starters
Nigel Boogaard
Lee Ki-Je
Enver Alivodic
Ben Kennedy
David Carney
Daniel Mullen

Fringe
Ben Kantarovski
Mitch Cooper

Back-Ups
Andy Brennan
Josh Barresi
Radovan Pavicevic
Themba Muata-Marlow

Yes, a massive job for the new coach

While I agree with your list, except I would also put Kennedy as a back up simply because I want us to aim higher, I think we could run into trouble with percentage of salary cap remaining.

I expect those starters would be taking up a fair chunk of the salary cap. I'm wondering what approach we will take with the remaining amount of the squad because there is a lot of positions to fill with a fair chunk taken from the cap already.

One way around this is to utilise the marquee spots, so let's hope the FFA get behind us in that regard.

Pirlo to Newcastle!!!

And leaving them in place doesn't allow anyone to move on.

It irritates the **** out of me that people who chose to put themselves above the club/fans are still at the club.

Their lack of loyalty to their 5 teammates who got the arse is also a ****ing disgrace.

Out of who is left at the club from last year I have plenty of time for Carney even if he is a flog in general as he at least showed some cajones and Lundy as he put it all on the line with his career before it even got going.

Then these blokes who came in or are coming in as they are not the issue

Then the rest of them who were here and failed to back my boy Griff and the rest of them to the hilt are a long long long way below.

I would be happier if they were all gone.

The whole forgive and forget is one thing. I want to see blokes at the club who run through brick walls for the club and the fans. We don't have them.


Maybe when we get them we might actually move up the ladder and better yet win some ****ing games in Gosford.

[plague]

Says the bloke who kept turning up to the ****ing games.

Solidarity forever ey comrade.

[plague]

This is the only point that matters.

Somewhere in the team/squad compromises have to be made.
Get rid of BK, then you are keeping Galloway.
Get rid of Pepper, then you are keeping Welsh types.

Somewhere in the 23 there needs to be squaddies. Pick your poison lads.

My issue is that the difference between an average and a top keeper is realistically 10-15 points a season. I honestly think the club are costing ourselves these points if BK is our starter and the club are only looking to recruit a cheap backup for him.

All fair points and I also would love a super dooper keeper to come in with BK as backup/pushing for selection.

But

How many points did Galloway, Welsh, Regan, Zenon cost us?

Cause that's where you need to fill in the gaps.

What you're saying, in a way, is that an average keeper can be made look good by a solid defence in front of them? I certainly think that's reasonable.

I would prefer us spend money in the middle of the park and a striker. We've see what a difference a Taggart, Berisha or Burns can make to a team. Similarly a quality midfielder. Cowburn, for example, wouldn't be on much and has shown he is more than capable of being the right back.

As I said earlier we can have the same amount of money able to be spent on less by using the 3 marquee spots.

Its not a traditional unionised workplace though is it? they're hardly in a position to risk their income with little to no chnace of picking up paid employment if things went pear shaped for them.
its not the romantic era of loyalty and amatuerism. its Modern Football Au$$ie $tyle.
and plague's point negates yours anyway.

I'm saying more so that not many on here have done the math regarding the salary cap split between 23 contracts. It leaves a big gap between what we would want in each position and what we can afford.

I actually think we've nailed some pretty good value for money signings over the past few years like Taggart Burns etc but we just can't keep them. (Onya GVE and Stubbsy).

Agree with the marquee spots but have FFA given any indication we'll be using them?

[plague]

Story of the Members' life.

[Jeterpool]

No, they haven't however surely they want to see the club succeed so it's more attractive for sale to potential investors which is the overall goal. Using these spots, I think, wouldn't be out of the question if it could be reasonably justified.

[GazFish35]

the FFA said they wouldnt at WSW, then ADP arrived across town, so ONO arrived.

clearly we need CCM to get a marquee whose name can be abbrievieted to three letters.

If we can't get Coe, Kennedy's our best and only option for keeper. Unless you'd prefer Pasfield, Vreski, Young or Acton?
