2016/17 Squad Thread

[plague]

In this humble fans option unfortunately he is not good enough.It's not just last night but it certainly didn't help. His decision making is terrible catch the ball jack.Even if he see it late why punch there's no one around you.
Who we get I don't know but someone better then him

He did alright catching that last one then quickly outletted perfectly to Chinese Messi who then put Nobby through to win it but yeah nah he's gash let's set fire to him or something.

[plague]

Game's line and we some how make it to the grand final.Would you still feel confident with him in goals ? If you say yes you lied to and everyone else you know what truth is

Serious man I'd answer your question if I could understand what the hell it is.

[The Dunster]

It was the highlight of the night and more than made up for the fumble earlier. He recovered well.

[Hunter403]

Here's a question or three

We haven't had a "target man" as a 9 for a while. We haven't played that way this season.

How do you think we will fit Kokko into the line up? Who's in and out? Will we change the way we play?

[lquiquer]

How do you fit the kok in?......well I'm sure plenty on the foz will explain that to you......My English not that good......

[lquiquer]

Barthez is a great example. He had a good first season with Man U and once Howard arrived he went to shit and was never the same again. Started taking too many risks as he panicked to stay No. 1
With respect to Coupet -the competition between him and Barthez for the national GK spot essentially led to a fight between Coupet and Domenech when Barthez got the nod ahead of him. That's the problem when you have two guys of similar skill competing for a position - one has to lose the battle and it can sometimes come down to a coin toss or off field factors more so than who is doing a better job.
Professional sports persons often come with big egos so it's not a good situation.
It's bad enough at national level but at club level it's a disaster because players are contracted for longer duration and have to play a lot more games per season.

Barthez also hated life in England, never learn the language, hated the food and lifestyle.. Not his scene

[OmeletteDuFromage]

Lets be honest, Birraz was also shithouse in his first season for us. Did the exact same stupid things, shat himself at crosses, was indecisive in coming out etc.

The 'mare he had at bluetongue comes to mind

[hawk]

So we're in the 6 so apparently we dont need new squad members.

Is James Fletcher in newy east still open for intake?

[The Dunster]

That sort of comment is ridiculous. Duncan made one error last night but apart from than he has been one of our best all season. This needs pressure and too comfortable shit is neo-liberalism ideology at its finest. There is little if any evidence to back up such claims in football or any other occupation. In fact there is a lot to suggest that pressure for positions can actually have the opposite effect whereby individuals start putting themselves before the best interests of the team.

Duncan fumbled a wet ball in slippery conditions - that is what happened. Keepers in the top leagues around the world have done just as bad and in a lot of cases worse than Duncan did last night. Did they stuff up because of no pressure for their position ? Of course not - and neither did Duncan.

hahahaha

it wasn't a fumble. It was a monumental **** up. Worst punch since Vukovic slapped the ref.

[halo se7en]

A monumental **** up that didn't cost us a single point.

So? Still very much cause for concern.

[halo se7en]

So? Still very much cause for concern.

No more concern than any other players ****ing up, which they all tend to do, and a lot more often. Every keeper is going to do it, it's better that it happens when we still end up with 3 points and I'd like to think JD will be a little more wary of it now.

[plague]

So? Still very much cause for concern.

Whilst you were going through the 12 stages of grief the other night where were you at when Duncan took that regulation cross then quickly sent the ball out to LeiLei who put Nobby through on goal.

cause I've seen a lot of keepers go to ground there and chew the clock.

Not our boy Dunc though. Wanted to win.

[leftrightout]

So? Still very much cause for concern.

He is a young guy playing in the A-League... Do you really expect no mistakes or errors?
Gees just search youtube for premier league keeper howlers, theres plenty of better, more experienced keepers making much worse mistakes! Its sport, there human error, thats the beauty of it!

The herald reporting we are still interested in Bridge but he is on 400,000 a season in Thailand.... and i always though A-league players were overpaid!!!

No. No. No.

Keepers and strikers cannot make monumental **** ups regularly. If they do then they're not first team quality.

Some positions you can get away with the odd **** up, goalkeeper is not one of those.

He's made some fantastic saves this season, but his blooper reel is growing.

I expect my keeper, regardless of the level, to not punch the ball into his own net. I expect a HAL keeper to not have a blunder every 3-4 weeks.

We won the game with the keeper making a blunder. No harm done. What would you rather...the keeper makes a blunder and we lose 1-0.

agree!!!

enough of the Duncan chat...GET OVER IT, he made a mistake, his not the first and he knows it. We move on

on more important news within the squad thread - beside the media reports of cooper possibly departing, Bridge interest. Does anyone actually have any inside goss/rumours?

[RAM]

Every 3-4 weeks?
Besides Rd.1 and this week what other blunders has he had?

3-4 weeks is conservative.

He has a ****-up that could cost a goal nearly every game.

He has also made some great saves. He lacks consistency. His decision making is poor. Thankfully his shot stopping is excellent at times. This is why he's never been a first team player though (except for us).

Would bloody love that. I know he hasn't been excellent yet for Perth but you cannot deny he has the quality to succeed in this league. He is still so young and can get back into the Socceroos in my opinion. I have always rated him very highly!

He looked pretty good in his first stint at the Wanderers. It's an interesting one but considering the other options are NYL strikers it's not a bad capture if it's just for the rest of the season

Seems exactly like the kinda guy you'd want signed.

Not a bad signing if we get the best of him.

[turbojetfireV8]

do we really need just another squaddie taking up a roster position? I reckon Bulut would be better to head off back to where he was before (Turkey?), try get some form back, then go back to his beloved western gyppos - I really think he'd be a waste of money and a spot, and he's hardly Haliti's standard and yet Haliti can't even make it to our bench at the moment - if Bulut stays in Australia he's be better to head for the coastal gyppos, at least there's some similarity in mongness between the teams...

[parksey]

He's had a bad season this year because of off-field issues, but he's actually a very good player. If he finds form he will score plenty of goals.

Also, seemed like a bit of a weird thing for Griff to say. The part in the article that mentions he was at a charity golf day leads me to suspect he might have been on the sip when he was interviewed.

[lquiquer]

He has had a bad season so far because he is the kind of player who needs to start every game and coach has to make him feel like he is THE star of the team..... This year Poppa has not succeeded in doing that. If we do I think he can be huge for us.

[Tommyjet]

Im convinced bulut has the talent to be a great a-league striker. Im also convinced the mental and off-field stuff will never let him settle at one team to show that talent.

[380]

Security to be increased at all Newcastle McDonald's outlets.

Bulut is a better striker then Haliti. And until Koko shows something then he's a better striker then him too. If we go off our track record of letting go our visa strikers each year then at least it will cover Koko when we release him. Not saying it's the right decision I'm just saying what will happen. That will free up a visa spot too. It's not a horrible signing

With his last club he scored 56 Goals in 97 appearances in the Finnish Premier League suggesting Kokko knows how to score goals. Comments suggesting otherwise are ridiculous.
Haliti is a good impact player and scores some great goals - but he doesn't do it often enough to be anything but a back up at this level.
Bulut out of Sydney and into a more relaxed environment like Newcastle, surrounded by the right people could be anything. We should give him a chance and sign him until seasons end.

Whilst I agree and don't doubt Kokko is quality, he has not shown he can do that in this league. YET. I understand injury etc and I'm prepared to give him a go. I'm just sayin that I think the critics of Bulut need to see that this is a player that HAS proven he can be an out and out goalscorer in this league. Also we as a club aren't good at giving our overseas strikers a second chance. I was a big fan of Triff and thought he did enough as a first year import. Which alot of people underestimate. I think Haliti is not or never will be the player he was before his knee injury and it would be a gamble to take on another year of him with limited game time. I just see Bulut as a better back up option then Haliti in terms of ability and readiness to play.

Bit of a stretch to say he is a proven out and out goal scorer...

5 in 9 in his first stint with WSW and 0 in 6 in his second.

Maybe 1 or 2 in cup competition as well.

That means he is 2 in 30 or whatever it is for his other sides. That's obviously not HAL but it's not great.

No idea how many assists he got in those games though.

Eli Babalj is a free agent. Would take him in a heartbeat.

Also just throwing some other names out there:
Chris Payne has 22 goals in 24 games for Sydney United 58
Mirjan Pavlovic has 18 goals in 26 games for Marconi
Sean Rooney has 18 goals in 26 games for Marconi

So, Kokko is unlikely to play this weekend because he is missing match sharpress because of his injury.

His injury was to his jaw - and I believe he was still training. He could still partake in drills surely. Does anyone else find this weird.

Kokko is more of a "target man" type of player. Watching Jones' approach this season suggests to me that he might not want that kind of player and is probably why, even when he was fit, Kokko seemed on the outer. Also, changing a winning team can impact on confidence.
Pray Hoole gets his yellow and we start Nobby and Kokko together soon.

In round 1, his absence was noted after we dominated the opening 20 minutes. Since then, his introduction late in matches, and hold up play offers us somthing different.

I get the sense, as you do, that he isn't what Jones wants. However, I would love to see him get an extended run because I really think we have a player here.

No. A broken Jaw is one of the worst injuries you can have. You lose ,muscle, you lose weight, you lose fitness / conditioning... and so on.
By the time you can eat again you are a shadow of your former self and it takes twice as long again to get back to where you were - let alone what the time off does to your confidence.

On top of that it takes a long time before you feel right again especially if you have any nerve issues like tingling or your jaw locking and so on on.
Then you have issues wrt pain killers. Do you take them ? If you do how will your body react. When I broke my jaw I had constant headaches for months after it had all healed.

Not as time consuming as an ACL injury but much worse than a broken leg - in my experience anyway.

La Rocca arrived in Australia at the same time than Poljak (La Rocca actually signed for WSW after Poljak) and got citizenship in November.

Bulut can't get a start at a club who's failing to score goals and is currently below the Jets on the ladder.
Bridge wouldn't make any sense for the Jets either. He'd want massive money and doesn't offer anything the Jets need.

A quality right or left back is what the Jets need. Get that shit sorted and it takes the pressure off the players up front leaving them to score goals.
Nothing against Hoff or Vujic but I still see them as one dimensional and just a shade short of the class the Jets require to be top four material.

I wouldn't say left or right back are necessities for us.

A better option up front is a bigger priority
A better option out wide up front is a bigger priority

What is a number one priority is a better cm partners for Sugar than Poljak, Kantarovski or Brown

I agree, we had a top quality striker and wide player the last 3 games and we would have won them all comfortably by 2-3 goals easily.
Doubt whether a "better" RB or LB would have made much difference.
Okay we've re-signed Brown and S.ugar, I would keep Poljak based on recent performances as I think he is now in his peak years (as long as it is at the right price). Can't afford to re-sign Kanta, would be madness to sign a player who is injury-prone year after year.
This is one of our better squads of recent years with a good balance, I don't think we need to make drastic changes to start challenging for top four. We have a few players whose careers are on the rise and others who are in their peak years. We just need a couple who are in that top quality bracket of Berisha, Fornaroli, Castro, Ninkovic and probably another couple the likes of a Brosque, Jakobsen, Isaias, Dimas.
All that depends on whether Mr Lee will open up the purse strings for next season.

I didn't say it will happen, but if he was willing to take a step down then great.

Strikers in China are paid big dollars to score regularly and when they don't they get discarded quickly. If you can name a better Australian Striker in a league that we could poach I am all ears

Still the question of the 1.6 million a season. If he can be had for $300k a season then absolutely.
He's a very good footballer but just not $1.6m a season kind of good.

Nothing from tonight's NBN News report posted on their website, but apart from mention we are now in the hunt for two players during the window (with Bridge still be touted as a target and Jones not ruling him out despite a comment about needing a player with a good injury history - do weak ankles count?? ;) ), there was a mention of Victory looking forward to doing us over the same way they dealt with the Gyppos, and considering our inability to deal with softer teams like Phoenix it's a bit of a worry we could be in for a hiding if we let the Tards score soft goals like we invited Wello to, it's not like we've been scoring six a game, we struggled to equalise and didn't look like going ahead when we finally did break even, unless it's 90 min of end to end I'm a bit concerned Victory will be a yardstick for us one way or the other, worried it will be the other...

Brennan is in as a mature age NPL rookie so moving him on doesn't create a space, it would have to be same for same

Yeah but... Jets are shit... club sux etc etc no more facts FR.

[Wilso8948]

Good news about poljak. Free a space next year and I think he should be pushing for a new contract provided he's not using a visa spot. And bye bye lei lei. If he hasn't locked down a starting spot or getting more then 5 mins off the bench now he never will

Babalj to WSW, Bridge prob to WSW, Antonis to WSW, Bulut to Thailand so what Donkey are we getting?

Your back & forth on twitter with Lawrie wasn't enough, you had to copy and paste your constructive thoughts in here too?
If you don't see the problem with declaring interest in players before they even arrive then go back to playing Football Manager.

We should make a play for Daniel georgevski. He's a step up from any fullbacks we have an offers a lot in attack as well as defence. Limited game time at victory. May be looking for a release

This is one of those players that I'm torn on..
He is a pretty decent defender.. He seems to be a sh!t bloke, always diving and faking injuries..

Cooper gone.

Good move by the club to move on both Cooper and Pavicevic. Although I don't think this automatically translates to one or two mid-season additions to the squad. Even with all our injury problems, these guys were nowhere near the pitch (unless I'm forgetting a brief appearance?), so using the January window as an excuse to move them on is smart. There's no point paying wages for another 3-4 months for nothing, plus the squad spots are instantly available if someone pops up in the next couple of weeks. I tend to think Jones is reasonably content with the squad all things considered, and is more interested in eyeing up targets to kick off the following season.

[Wilso8948]

I'd leave a few spots spare for the offseason. Would rather sign a guys early so they have a full preseason under the belt. Not rocking up a week before round 1.

The club has done well. For players like Cooper and Pavicevic mutual terminations wouldn't be easy as they would have very few offers in the table and could see out their contracts for the (admittedly limited) cash. Some good work being done around the place.

Your right Bon
compared to the superior quality of shit we have at the JETS, i wouldn't want him either ??????
at least has the ability to dive.
DG would be a massive player to sign, unfortunately, what moron would sign for the Jets?????

About ****ing time.

I been calling for them to do this for a year now.

Good to see Jones can finally see through something that Millertime could never do.

Actually move on players not in his plans one way or anothet

Be good to have a few spare spots for the offseason so we can do nothing about it then get some noname youth just to get a team on the park.

Well Mr 3 from 13 certainly isn't winning us any games so he may as well do something useful.

Can't wait for him to see what star player he will recruit from his vast network of contacts, ie Adelaide NYL players or 07/08 Jets

The return of Scott Tunbridge firms by the day.

The burn is strong in this one

I not particularly worried about our current point tally under Jones.

What I see is what he has these blokes doing on the pitch.

Something the other importers before him couldn't do.

Actually have a strategy that poses threats to the opposition goal

I pretty content where we going with him in charge.
Better calibre players to exploit the game plan will arrive in the future soon and intermediate

You enjoying those lemons??

"Don't tell me about the labor - show me the baby." I'll be impressed when they start winning.

Who the **** has hacked the members account? I can't be certain but I'm almost sure I've read a nearly positive comment about something to do with the jets.....actually something positive about something to do with anything......I don't know what to think now.

Jones has zero to do with contracts - either signing or terminating them

[Wilso8948]

Jones picked up Katroumbis. Gotta give him credit for that. NYL player and is killing it as a teenager. People calling for Bymora to play and give youth a go etc and he's playing teenager CB and LB who are holding their own.

On a side note. Vidosic has been released. Would be an excellent signing in a position we need

Byrmora to start over who?

Be interesting to see if we do sign Bridge who makes way. Bridge and Morten up top doesnt really strike fear in my eyes. What happens to Browny and then Clut who didnt even make the match day squad. A good head ache to have I guess.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Martin's team in China gets promoted to the second division, who he takes over from here as they'll be allowed to sign foreigners.

Selection headaches are what we want

this team gives me a ****ing headache

[The Dunster]

Selection headaches are what we want

Do we play the bloke with the good engines that struggles to convert the opportunities into goals or do we play the good finisher who rarely get himself into scoring positions ?
Do we play the GK who fumbles the ball of the GK with a farked ACL ?
Do we play the defender who's got nerve damage or the Defender that falls over in the box and makes the fans nervous ?
Do we play the defender that gets schooled by the opposition or the defender who looks like he's still in school ?

Look on the bright side, a future Chinese international is having trouble getting selected for our premiership squad we're just so fantastic with so many options under Jonesy now, Jonesy is actually holding him back from fulfilling his potential:

Nabbout has proved himself to be ahead of him in the pecking order. What's with the sudden fapfest about the bloke? A couple of good moments and everyone banging on like he's the Chinese Messi. He needs to keep showing. In my opinion he needs 3/4 more quality showings off the bench. And maybe if we have the luxury of giving nabbout a rest. There is also the possibility of resting Hoole but for all his shit moments Hoole really does create a shitload of chances. Converting them is another story. Also I think Nabbout plays better on the left and I don't think you'd play Ma on the right
