2015/16 A-League Transfers and Rumors

[Premy]

I'll start this tread by adding Hersi just got released by Perth

[Premy]

Via Facebook rumors that Perth have got rid of Thwaite, Mclaren, Hersi and Vukovic.

Apparently Vukovic is tip to sign with WSW.

Would take Mclaren in a Heartbeat and Hersi at the right price.

[Jeterpool]

Would take Mclaren in a Heartbeat and Hersi at the right price.

And with a right knee

[Thomas477]

Would take Thwaite as well.

Imagine a back four of Neville, Thwaite, Boooooooogard, and Lee.

[Premy]

Glory signed Golec

[MFKS]

Nabbout and Coe released by Tards.

Would not expect Nabbout to come here after getting racially abused at a NYL game last season

Bullshit season in full swing in Adelaide with wild rumours of WC winners coming to Hindmarsh.

What would this mean for Carrusca?

[Premy]

So Griffo will play for free and Ryu won't go anywhere other than Newcastle. Get them in, $100,000 out of the salary cap for to experienced players.

[boz-monaut]

let's just hoover up every player who's off contract right now

Vukovic, Bulut, Hersi - we'll be like WSW before they turned shit

[Grimario]

Janko gone from Sydney, the retracted their offer because of his extended unavailability due to international games.

[Frodo]

I thought they were going to go after Luca Toni instead now that they know he is available?

[Premy]

Drogba has been thrown around in the rumour mill not sure how much truth to it.

[weston]

Ryan's back on the radar?

[plague]

Ryan's back on the radar?

Oh dear god no.

[Premy]

Ryan's back on the radar?Currently in Malaysia with Adam and he told 442 that he will be coming home after this season due to other business interest and he wants to play for us or he will retire from professional Football.

[GazFish35]

Ryu said he won't play for fee, but happy for basic living expenses to be covered.

Get him on a minimum wage and with Joel playing for nothing, you've got two experience players who have the desire to win and can help build a never say die, play for the shirt, love the city club culture.

[MFKS]

Aloisi to coach Roar is doing the rounds.

[Beeen]

Mario Jardel to us is doing the rounds.... or at least it should be.

[Mark325]

Aloisi to coach Roar is doing the rounds.

Yeah they've just confirmed that, rather not have him so I'm happy

[Hunter403]

Stubbins sacked by Jets. Davidson sacked by the Baggies. Was this big Phil's doing or just coincidence? Discuss. All answers not to exceed 100 words and should be recorded on a KB beer coaster.

[MFKS]

Ancelotti leaves Real Madrid
Later that day Stubbins leaves Newy Jets


Coincidence ?????????????

[Jetmaster]

Part of the Fiorentini plan ?

[leftrightout]

Part of the Fiorentini plan ?

I heard a mention of this Fiorentini thing... whats the deal with it?

[joel31]

Yeah they've just confirmed that, rather not have him so I'm happy
I reckon given the second chance Aloisi will make a good coach

[Vandenberg13]

FoxSports are reporting Rudan to coach the jets

[MFKS]

Vukoshit to Tards

[adsa@burnley]

try and fit him under the cap somehow

[adsa@burnley]

amini?

[plague]

amini?

dear God does no one listen around here?

[Tommyjet]

try and fit him under the cap somehow

Nathan Coe was rumoured to be on a fair slice so I doubt it's as hard as u think.

[OmeletteDuFromage]

Vukovic in surely leaves Lawrence Thomas unhappy, would surely think he deserves a first team chance. Wouldnt mind see him at us tbh

[parksey]

massive signing for melbourne

i rate vuko above galekovic

[Jeterpool]

massive signing for melbourne



Agree. I wonder whether we will see Coe turn up at WSW now? Perhaps they'll even try for Brad Jones?

[MFKS]

massive signing for melbourne

i rate vuko above galekovic
???

Galekovic has to be higher just on the fact he has never played for the Gypos

[Bon]

massive signing for melbourne

i rate vuko above galekovic

Yeah.. I gotta say, as much as I think he is a sh!t bloke, he is a damn good keeper..

[q-money]

word on the street is we actually made quite a play for him, however he smartly chose the place where he would actually get paid

[MFKS]

Says a lot about how BK is really rated if they would rather put a Gypo in goals

[Wilso8948]

Least it means we are actually making a play for a keeper and we can finally **** BK off back to the bench

[The Dunster]

Yes. Bk has been the reason why the Jets are not a top 4 team. Completely making sense to me now. :gent:

Not the only one, but definitely one of the reasons

gypo or not

vuko is the best in the league

I for one am not happy to settle for mediocre

[The Dunster]

I for one am not happy to settle for mediocre

Why would any player want to be part of a club with so called fans that hate on someone that has given all they have to the club and the people of this town like BK?

Your attitude to players is something that is unfortunately common in Newcastle football circles. Why on earth would any player want to play for this club when they can go elsewhere for better conditions, better coin, and much better fans?

Not really, because given the lack of resources at all levels in the organisation we are getting what we deserve.

If you look at the facilities and off field personal at the club [or lack of them] it is hard to imagine any player developing to meet their true potential as a player. In the case of BK he's probably received the worst development path of any keeper in the history of the A-League. The club has probably done more damage to him than he has to the club.

I think we need to find the best GK coach / staff we can find to assess Bk and if they think BK can't make the grade then he gets moved to the bench or on. But to call for his replacement without having any GK staff or development program in place we might as well start ordering wooden spoons from now until eternity.

What you do off the field is where it is at if you want to be successful - because without that even the best of players [Griffo, Flores.. and so on] will never be able to demonstrate their talents on the field.

Andrew Hoole is another great example of this.

[MFKS]

Andrew Hoole is another great example of this.

Difference is Hoole has still had an upwards slant on his career and established himself at this level even with the shit fight around him

Kanta BK Pepper Chilli Reegz etc have almost went no where since they came into the club.

You can blame the shit coaches shit management etc but it also comes down to the player in question working hard on their game.

Taggz Beard Hoole are 3 quality examples of blokes who have individually succeeded to improve at our club despite the carnage around them

[plague]

Taggz Beard Hoole are 3 quality examples of blokes who have individually succeeded to improve at our club despite the carnage around them

i thought Hoole was a way better and more influential player at Magic.
the biggest issue was that we needed good centre mids but refused to put him in his natural spot.
thats bad management from my point of view.

and i don't disagree with BK. he had every chance to move to another club and get away from shit management if he thought it would improve his game. he chose to stay knowing the shitshow around him.

Also no other club has ever been interested in BK as he unfortunately has little natural talent to succeed at this level.

wow, condescending and entirely uneducated all in one post.

well done.

[Jeterpool]

Also no other club has ever been interested in BK as he unfortunately has little natural talent to succeed at this level.

Is that a fact no other club has been interested in him? Also 112 A-League appearances, 124 appearances in total for the club. He can't have just got by on jagging it. He has some strong attributes. He's managed to hold off challenges to the #1 position to all keepers except Covic. Birraz had him for a while in Season 8 and most of 9 but he's back there again.

[Jetmaster]

If it was anyone else it would be called club loyalty....who is to say that there hasnt been interest from elswhere? BK has seen off numerous challengers, immense public criticism, been through all the upheavals and has a champions medal as well.

Add to that the personal hell he is going through now....the guy has to be tough of mind and deserves respect no matter what type of keeper you think he is.

[plague]

I'm more interested in this idea of 'natural talent'.

please explain this concept to me.

Yes. I read it a few years back and like you I agree with its theories.

Every time I hear the word talent from pundits I cringe.

[Jetmaster]

On that note, how many kids in the 6-10 age year group have you seen appear on news/sports stories with incredible natural talent, with proud parents going on about the trials they are going to have in Europe?

You never hear from any of them again. On another scale Freddy Adu is a great example of talent not being enough - he was touted as "better than Pele at the same age".

There was that young kid from Brisbane who went to Man Utd at about 7years old. What ever happened to him??

Remember the youtube vids of him and he looked like Griff playing under 6's and carving it up

Bernie Ibini has signed with a club in Belgium - believed to be Club Brugges - and so leaves @sydneyfc

Damn, who's gonna run in a straight line and kick the ball really hard for us now?

May as well write next season off already.

Vuka confirmed to Victory

[The Camel]

Vuka confirmed to Victory

Shame, shit bloke but I think he is on par with Eugene for best in the league, plus he's a lot younger.

Wonder if Laurence Thomas is now available. I think he would improve immensely with consistent football and IMO he is already well ahead of BK.

With Birraz not re signing I think getting a proper keeper for the starting spot needs to be a priority. A top keeper can get you 10 plus points a season (Vuka defo did this for Perth last year).

Haha this is by far the dumbest thing I've ever read on here.

[Couscous]

It's not obvious to me, pal. The ethnic semiotics of the 'Jets' was always unclear to me. What was the hidden symbolism of the warplane? Which people did it represent?

Somewhere in the bowels of the internet, I read a lengthy post explaining why the Jets were a Jewish club. But anyone who's seen the synagogue in Tyrrell St knows that the Chosen People chose not to live in Newy.

^^^^
You've lost the plot couscous
Whether it was KB United, Rosebuds, Breakers or United/Jets, Newcastle's teams throughout the NSL and A League have not represented any particular ethnic group.
Probably the first Australian club to truly reflect the region it represented not based on the ethnic community which founded it.

Have to laugh about the Jewish connection, have you been watching the Da Vinci code too much?

I think Mooralbark in the old national league did not reflect any ethnic group. Dunster may be able to shed some light on this. If so they may have been the first to do so.

We had a strong Dutch background early on and by the mid to late 70's [when the NSL commenced] the club was more in line with the English migrants running the club - so to speak. I recall a time there when a few wanted the club name changed to Manchester United given the clubs relative proximity to Manchester Road [ Obviously, it never happened though].

Rumour was that he was suffering depression from all the shit here and was going home to get his head sorted out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but he was born in Greece with Greek/Australian farther, yeah?
Was also on the book at Man Shity for a while I think.

Yep, born in Greece to Australian father. His grandfather was one of the co-founders of South Melbourne as well so he has strong roots here. Imagine if he played for the Socceroos?

And I think Koren is still marquee.


Rumours from other places...

Covic to sign with Perth
Adelaide to announce new signing today - expected to be a striker, people unsure if Juric returning or Maclaren (but Reds forum suggests its Rafa Jimenez, young Australian defender who was born in Spain)

Thomas Sorensen on the way to Australia
According to Ekstra Bladet Thomas Sorensen in the game for a change to the Australian club Melbourne City.

Thomas Sorensen thanked by last season's completion of Stoke. Since then Sorensen taken to the US where he will be cycling 6,000 kilometers to raise money for KidsAid.

But football career is not over, according to Ekstra Bladet, a new job within reach for the 39-year-old veteran keeper.

The newspaper believes to know that Sorensen is strong in games for a contract with Melbourne City who are missing a keeper. Melbourne City is part of the City Football Group, who also has Manchester City and New York City.

C. Cole to WSW breaks down over length of contract offered.

He apparently wanted a 3 year deal, good for him wanting a bit of $$$ security, but silly for a club where the Marquee spot can sometimes make or break your season.

What club would want to be stuck with a mid 30s past his prime striker as your Marquee.

VIETNAMESE WONDERKID NGUYEN CONG PHUONG ON A-LEAGUE CLUBS’ RADAR

Eric Noveanto | July 7, 2015 | Southeast Asia | |Photo : Getty

54400

Vietnam international Nguyen Cong Phuong has attracted the interest of Australian clubs Central Coast Mariners and Newcastle Jets with his good performances for the U-23 squad in SEA Games, according to Thanh Nien.

The Hyundai A-League sides are continually looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the opening 2015/16 campaign which will start in early October, and they see the 20-year-old as a valuable addition to their midfield on the long term.

Cong Phuong is a product of the built cooperation academy between Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Vietnamese-based JMG Arsenal and has developed into a key player at the Pleiku giants in the V-League this season.

The midfielder, who has been likened to Barcelona star Lionel Messi because of his tender playing style, has previously been linked with J-League clubs in April but the HAGL’s owner Doan Nguyen Duc was reluctant to sell him halfway through the season

Only been following football for a few years now, so this question may seem very good or very stupid. If we signed him on a "youth" deal only similar to cowburn, does he get classed as a foreign player in the senior team spots or is that excluded from the foreign quota?

Pretty sure the youth guys are Australian only. Any visa spots have to be in the senior squad.

You had me at "tender playing style"

[stopper2]

You had me at "tender playing style"

LOL, in all honesty I don't recall ever seeing the term "tender playing style" in describing a player's style. When Messi has the ball at his feet, he is "explosive", yes he probably has a "tender' touch in the way he seemingly has the ball on a string but he is essentially a pocket dynamo in the way he gets at players with speed and quick footwork.

On this young Vietnamese lad, the first question is.....can he handle the physicality of the A League? Would be a total waste as has been proven in the past with good, technical players who unfortunately get pushed off the ball too easily and cannot handle the rigours of what is essentially a quite physical League as compared to a typical Asian League.

[WolfMan]

I dare say the tender part was lost in translation. Still gave me a larf

I don't usually like saying this kind of thing but i honestly don't know how he would go in the championship. He isn't overly physical and tends to get pretty revved up when people chop him down. Glad he is going over there though, i know people are pretty split with their opinions on him but i am definitely a fan of his potential.

Yeah, the whole "how would he handle a cold wintery night in Stoke" thing? I agree, to an extent. But someone like Nathan Dyer isn't exactly large in either height (5'5) or weight (57kg) and he has no drama whatsoever being excellent for Swansea in the EPL and the Championship before their promotion.

Think he needs to work on end product AND temperament and he can do whatever he wants.

Whilkshire himself at 33 might not demand good coin, he was one of the best paid Socceroo for at least 5 years at Dynamo so his bank account isn't struggling.

I sure hope so his certainly better than Hoffman however I would still prefer Cowburn.

Who would you want to pick from that carcass?

Clut, De Vere, Bratten, Borello, Maclaren, Broich. In that order.

If we were able to get rid of some of our players without any issue, I would agree to all of those. Young is also better than both of our GK's. Can't believe I am saying that after his first month last year.

PFA did **** all when the club sacked those blokes last year. I doubt they'd kick up a fuss if we told Hoffman to **** off

If we were getting De Vere, I'd be more inclined to tell Mullen to **** off.

Both of them if we get that list. Cowburn and Watson for RB

It would be a PR nightmare for FFA to pick apart the Roar carcass for our benefit.
Sorry someone had to be that guy, but please carry on continue to speculate.

Oh, no doubt. But in the magic world where tomorrow the Roar breach contracts, Monday Thompson takes the license...

Just imagine for a bit, you buzzkill.

Sif the Jets would sign anyone good anyway. We will end up with the Latvian Hoffman or some shite. A man can dream though

Could be worse we could end up with the Slovenian Gallaway

Well, way to pick on two of my grandparents backgrounds.. :redcard:

Nothing wrong with Latvians and Slovenians (Good people).......The problem is their Hoffman and their Gallaway :wink:

[Grimario]

Juric has passed a medical, verbally agreed to sign for Roda JC (where De Silva is on loan) with announcement expected in next few days.

Exactly, Riga is one of my favourite ever places I've visited. I am sure their Hoffman is rubbish though.

fk that

Lets raid every player we can get. Melb and syd have done it since day 1. Most sups wont give a stuff after the debacle weve been through.

[Mark325]

Adelaide have signed dugandzic

Joey Barton is a Bosman, he could be our Khunt.

"The next deal that I sign will be another eye opener," Cahill said.
Cahill to Jets confirmed

[belchardo]

citeh sign Thomas Sorensen

[leftrightout]

Thats a good signing, i think the standard of goal keepers in the league has been getting worse in the last few years. They may not be a flashy as the foreign number 10 everyone wants but they will win you games!
City look to have a decent squad this season.

[Couscous]

Adelaide has swapped Osama Malik for Melbourne City's David Williams. WTF.

Exactly. WTF are the Reds thinking?

[Jeterpool]

Wow. That's surprising

[Premy]

Fun fact.
Torres contract with Chelski is up at the end of this season, so essentially his a Bosman. Marquee next season, get on it David and David.

Rumors that City are trying to offload Koren to bring out Vidic.

[parksey]

disgrace if he signs for city

That could win them the title... Rock solid defence is what they need....

Now you know how we luverpool fans felt on saturday.

carn city. buy some more

[StannyCFCJET]

Id Take Torres he would carve up the a-league with his pace. I was very skeptic when he signed for Chelsea from Liverpool and he was generally very poor but he always tried his hardest and he scored that goal against uefaclona woops i mean Barcelona and won the corner in Munich in the final

ok whatever mate doesnt change that he would carve up a-league

[Premy]

Seems like City have offloaded Koren with a $400,000 payout.

FFS the golf is becoming evident now, City can spend more on a player they don't want then we can on anyone.
