If the season being over was in any doubt.....

Season was over when we lost to Adelaide in Adelaide. PS: anyone else see Dan Mullen post an Instagram pic of himself challenging for a ball against City with the tagline "sexy face" sums up Saturday night. I mean ffs sounds like even some of the players are just laughing off our current form and results. Poor form especially being one of the worst performers in the team. Where is the ****ing mentality to do better.

Herald article saying we are talking to michael thwaite, roy odonovan and ben khalfallah

Plus a possible release of 11 players.

Can anyone share any more information on plans or talks going on for next year?

The minimum salary for Players in the Hyundai A-League in the 2016/17 Season is:
Under 20 - $41,533 (excluding superannuation); and
20 and over - $55,715 (excluding superannuation).

minimum is the price of a tea lady

[skullboy]

Khalfallah is better than ANY player in our current squad. As long as they don't want to pay him marquee dollars it would be our best signing ever. What are you smoking and where can I get some?

[turbojetfireV8]

let's face it, if we sign Khalfallah, Thwaite, Messi etc they'll all end up playing like the rest of the squad after a month under Jones' guidance, so what's the point, we need to sign a new coach first before we start getting all hopeful and stuff about being competitive... :popcorn:

Nuh - if we signed the entire Chelsea squad AND Conte as coach AND Roman bought the club we would still come seventh.

It's the Newy curse.

of course we'll sign him :rof:

Yeah see if you think the Jets are gonna be able to low ball him then I'm not sure there's much else to talk about.

That Herald article reeks of club propaganda to say they are trying to improve. Whenever I see 'that's the calibre of player we want to attract' it tells me we know they wont come, but the club wants to look like they are trying.

Yeah but they actually are doing the right thing by having 11 off contract right now

Where they are wrong is publically naming the blokes they are after

To me they are adequate signing no more.
They ain't mind blowing my good and in Thwaite and Kalfallah case we actually signing them 3 years past their Best before stamps
As for the Gypo well he not that ****ing good really. He just better than what we have

As for our players off contract
Other than Raheem Sterling not one of them should be retained.
They don't deserve another deal. Spare me the BS too about loyalty etc.
Giving these blokes continual pay checks is us showing loyalty to 7th to 10th spots by accepting mediocrity

Out of curiosity, a few of us have thrown names up that'd we'd sign (I for one spoke about approaching Halloran and Burns. I'd also throw serious money at Spiranovic if he's interested in returning to the A-League and even look at Mark Milligan.).

Who would you be looking at?

"I'm not getting paid to do their ****ing jobs"
"Thats their job, to choose players that will make us better"
"If only Miller did was Jones is doing we'd have won the league this year"
"Give Jones the cheque book and watch him win us the league!"
"We don't even need contracts, nobody should be on a contract longer than 12 months, except coach Jones, give him 5 years minimum."

Yeah one of or both halloran and burns would be great. Burns not getting much g/time where he is and halloran not getting noticed where he is.

[The Dunster]

The lifestyle in Newcastle is too relaxed and as a result players that come here seem to switch off. I don't think it's the coaching because it seems to happen no matter who is in charge. But this sipping coffee and going to the beach shit is not working. If players want to go to the beach and enjoy what the club has to offer fine - but they need to earn it. So if the club is in the top four players should be allowed to enjoy the cafe and beach lifestyle Newcastle offers. But if they are not in the top four then all players should be in lock-down.

If the team drops out of the top six then I think management needs to introduce mandatory Waterboarding to remind players of their role and as an incentive to train harder.

[MonkeyKplunk]

Halloran wiuld be a great signing in that he would do really well in this league

Burns would be not so good in that i cant see him being a dominant force

If we have the money to be in the market for Milligan then go for it. He would be a great addition to the squad. If he qasnt available then Jedinak would be an option although he probably getting long in the tooth


Issue for us is getting the foreigners right.
That where we can really improve.

Seriously
Poljak Kokko Nordstrand Brown .

Miller was taking the piss signing these 4 as best he could find


That and where we can improve is actually signing blokes like Petratos. We actually need to go raid rival Aussie clubs and sign HAL standard players

I would actually go pilfer some Gypos. They have 2/3 that would be of use going forward

[plague]

ill be at the Tokyo derby in a few weeks, will see if i can get 5 mins with Burns and pitch him.

Anything you blokes need me to ask?

Yeh ask him if he's ok with the membah only thinking he's an average kunt and if he can put up with not being a dominant force in the A league but still doing ok for the Socceroos.

how about going after rhys williams? also his brother ryan is a dynamic little winger/mid out of contract at barnsley,england.

So according to herald we are in 'advanced negotiations' with georgevski. Someone on here has been asking for us to go after him for a couple of years.
Anyway there is a trend I'm noticing and liking about these rumoured acquisitions, and it's not just the gypo striker and georgevski. They are aggressive pricks and mentally tough, something we lack terribly

Within a week of living in Newcastle enjoying the beach lifestyle and generally relaxed atmosphere of the town his aggression and mental toughness will disappear. Once the team starts losing and he realises the club is not professionally administered like Melbourne Victory he's going to either throw the towel or start looking for greener pastures. Frustration levels will rise and like Carney and others he's going to hold the club to ransom.

Not to mention how much the clubs going to have to pay for him ? Unless Victory don't want him the Jets will pay double what he's currently on.

If the club was signing ten players of his standard plus 5 marques on top of that I'd be enthusiastic. But Georgevski will be touted by the Jets as the 2nd coming when the reality is he's pretty much the minimum standard any club looking to win the league should be playing.

Absolutely loving this beach lifestyle thing you're banging on about. Almost as if it didn't exist when we won a grand final or were actually doing well? What would you have us do? Move the club to Ipswich or fence off the beach?

[The Dunster]

We won the grand final when the league didn't allow teams to have seven or eight players outside the salary cap.
Under the current system the Jets simply do not have the coin to be competitive.
Players know this but come here anyway because they can essentially get a holiday for a few years and make more than they would elsewhere.
I mean what do you think someone like Georgevski will get paid to come here ? If it's anything less than double what Victory are offering him I'd be very surprised.
Back in Cons time players didn't have the leverage they do now given the growth of football in Asia and the fact that players have already tested the waters for them in these other countries / leagues.
It's not specific to this sport either. Player associations / representation is getting stronger and players are essentially running clubs - especially the smaller less successful ones.
I'd love to hear what Phil Stubbins views on the club and players were from his time at the Jets. Players told us he had no idea and so on - but how do we know for sure it wasn't a case of a player revolt because he'd upset the status quo of doing **** all for a better than they deserve salary year in year out ?

[plague]

you guys are gonna get excited about him the same way you did for Boogard aren't you.

Can you imagine Boogaard and Giorgevski having a duel to see who can get sent first who can give away a pen first or who can give away the best foul etc

If we do though sign Giorgevski it be a great sibning. The bloke has some **** in him
Not mongrel but ****

And he be our ****

Got any suggestions? In that position.

the Hoff, Cowburn and Vujica are just as good as Georgie, for what seems like a fraction of the cost.

if we've got dolla dolla bills to spend start in the middle of the park where good teams are strong.


after watching Kalfallah play fairly central last night id rather them prioritise him if thats all thats available.

Your wrong about 1 thing

The bit about Hoffman Cowburn etc being just as good

They aren't

Plus they are not ****s like Georgevski

You remember him trying to Cantona Bitch Nichols??

When has any of our blokes done that since the day Zads won us the F3 derby after 14 seconds when he went straight through the back of a Gypo ??

[The Dunster]

I wouldn't buy any established players from Sydney FC or Melbourne Victory because they simply would not let us have a player of theirs unless the player had some issue / problem.

[plague]

Your wrong

dude

yeah but if we are ever going to get any good and have a proper decent attacking mid we're better off signing someone 'proven' in the league rather than take yet another punt on yet another 'unknown' and pretty much guarantee yet another failure.

Leo, Brown, Cullina (rofl rofl rofl!!!!), all im saying is if we are gonna waste our money lets sit on 16 and hope the dealer busts rather than praying for that 5.

I'd be happy if they folded the club to be honest. The Jets haven't been on my list of things I give a **** about for a very long time.
Club needs a new name, new owner, a minimum of six quality players outside the salary cap, and a new venue. Until that happens it's going to be more of the same no finals football, as long as fans continue to accept the mediocrity.

I rate vujica for the future. Georgevski is a much more capable player then Hoffman. Cowburn is the worst of them all.
It would all depend on what they pay for him. Whilst I agree DG would be the highest paid of the lot I disagree we would have to open the cheque book for him. He's always been a fringe starter down there. Be a certain starter here.
Wing backs are very underrated in this league.
Much like Kalfalah and I agree he should be a priority. People say he's past his prime but he's been displaced by arguably the best player in the league in Rojas. In my opinion he's still got 2 or so years of good football left. Drama is his daughter loves Melbourne and he's made it known he wants to stay.

I think your mis understanding his point Plague

Fullback position seems to be an after thought from the Managers who are happy to try and play some **** out of position to try and plug the hole

They aint interested in having specialists players

Look at us

Dapuzzo
Pepper
Beard
Thompson
Hoffman
Cowburn
Etc

We always playing some **** out of position

Geogevski on the other hand is a full back

i understand his point just fine.

my point is why are we even thinking about that spot when our continued mediocrity in the middle of the park and up front means those wing backs won't change a god damned thing.

I'm with Plague on this. Why pay through the arse for a player that is maybe 30-40% better than what we have in a position that isn't going to transform how we play the game? Georgevski is good left back but not worth the money it will cost us to sign him.

[halo se7en]

Our goals against column has grown ridiculously thanks to incompetent FBs, especially the 2nd half of the season. Yet we don't think it's a necessary position to upgrade?

[Jetmaster]

TBH...we were fine with Hoff at RB and Vujica/Cowby at left.

Why change it weekly?

[plague]

[MFKS]

That is true.
We have barely had a settled back line all season through injury and selection changes

I am also a big believer in the importance fullbacks have to success

A successful side has fullbacks performing well.

The amount of attacks killed by fullbacks not being able to play is biblical in the HAL

I'm not saying it will transform the way we play. I'm saying we need to make 7/8 quality signings and georgevski would be. Start. Making an improvement right throughout the squad. Each year we make one or two "ok" signings whilst every other squad in the league strengthens much further. Then we all sit back and think we will cruise into the finals. This team needs a decent striker, 10, winger, midfielders, fullback and centre back. Also who says we are paying huge amounts for him?

Logic.

We are fighting for the spoon and they are fighting for a home finals spot??? We will have to offer Kanta money to sign with us. I wouldn't be unhappy if we signed him as we definitely need a LB starter and he is a very good LB, i just worry about the ratio of quality to cost, his quality is fine but i worry that the wages will make us weaker in other areas.

Remember we don't have marquee wages to offer people or any money outside of the salary cap. If that starts to happen than this is a different conversation.

[OmeletteDuFromage]

"Jets close to signing O'Donovan, Georgevski and Khalfallah"

If im another player in the comp, I may well be thinking to myself, hmmm maybe these guys are starting to try and take things seriously.

You did watch us tonight??

We ain't exactly strong.

Sure we probably going to have to pay overs to get blokes in

But we were in this position for the last few years anyway of paying overs.

Until we at the top and an in demand club we ain't getting the best players coming without over paying for it

You would have to think that they're interested in BK the GK given the departure of Izzo and the old age shittiness of Necevski.

It was a comment from a CC supporter, apparently saying it's straight from BK's manager.
Given that it's on FB and 3 degrees of separation it's probably worth as much as a donkey saying he can tap dance

Just thought it was interesting

[skullboy]

We won the grand final when the league didn't allow teams to have seven or eight players outside the salary cap.
Under the current system the Jets simply do not have the coin to be competitive.
?

Don't have the coin? Don't have the coin? Really? Isn't Mr LED a billionaire? There are marquee positions available outside the salary cap plus other concessions that the club has NEVER used. There is no excuse for the club not to massively overhaul the roster.

[skullboy]

I'm with Plague on this. Why pay through the arse for a player that is maybe 30-40% better than what we have in a position that isn't going to transform how we play the game? Georgevski is good left back but not worth the money it will cost us to sign him.

I concur. Vujica is on par with Georgevski in my assessment - why would they pay more for positions that will rarely turn the outcome of a game unless they completely screw up. Like Mullen. Or Boogaard. Or Kanta. Or BK. Has a left back ever cost us or won us a game?

Byun won us a game Rd 1 maybe Season 7 or 8 against Heart. Last minute too. Cracking strike outside the box.

Oh and Ki-Je salvaged a point against WSW with a penalty at home

what an unprofessional organisation we have. We now have Mckinna using herald articles to urge fans to keep the faith by saying we are recruiting and owner wants a marquee.!!

seriously does he not know better than that we have all seen articles like this so many times before. Also you gotta love "ask the 2 newcastle old boys their thoughts on Jones the coach". of course they will back their mate.

if they were professional they would keep quiet and be working hard behind the scenes to bring results. announcements is what people resonate with not fluff in the papers.

Sorry McKinna, not a very astute businessman

[Jetmaster]

Ah but many come on here and the Herald and complain when there is silence. They can't win.
Lee said at the start it would be a prudent first season. This off season will be telling.

There's prudent then there's neglectful. A sign of intent in first season would have gone a long way to allaying fan concerns and made the club a more attractive proposition for future signings. Instead, team is horrible, half of them are gone or going and even if he does throw more money at the side, we'll have another season of mediocrity on the back of the huge turnover we're going to have.

But the Chinese Lightsalesman​ did say he was going to do what he said this season

Hopefully the review of the club is complete and he aware and committed to the necessary change

Time will tell

Don't worry they will tell us they have all this intent to spend money and sign players but then follow it with something along the lines of "but they have to be the right fit for our team" and we all know what that means!

FBK told a Victory fan after the game in Brisbane that he's not staying, saying specifically it was not about money but because Muscat didn't want him. He also said his family wanted to stay in Melbourne.

So he's coming here. The famed Newy lifestyle will triumph on the family front.

I can't wait. He'll be almost as good as Hoole.

to make it more confusing, mckinna only mentioned next january window when asked about getting a chilean on loan from that club.

[Jeterpool]

If the Chilean is coming January that could work for Poljak should he get his citizenship then as everyone seems to think he will. I think he's gone personally.

I've got concerns from reading the Sunday Tele that the Chinese player will come from Shenzen (ledman's Chinese 2nd div club) and a Chilean fringe player. They don't sound like first teamers to me - which is what we need.

Not that the Chileans cant play football i just worry the culture shock from Santiago to Newy.
Not much Spanish spoken in Newy and a distinct lack of Cafe Con Piernas.


I more worried about the blokes ability to settle in Newy and it aint like our club be good at helping the player settle in much

Has **** all run in him at all.

You think being as shit as we are we can carry him??

What the **** is also with this love in for Clut?

The bloke is the new Kaz Patafta. Far too small for professional football and his skill set is not good enough.
Move on

As for Vujica what also is the love in with him.?? He ain't quick and he has a shit load to learn. There was nothing shown that says he is close to being anything other than a project player who may one day make it. We don't need to be signing blokes in case.

If you put Nobby around competent players and use him as an impact sub you'd know how good he could be

Clut is a quality player, early in the season when he was getting game time and everyone else was actually playing good football he was great, worth investing time into

he played a couple games this season and would definitely be worth keeping based off those performances

You do realise his legs are shot??
He is slowing up every day.

That ain't going to change.

We had a choice last year whether he done enough to get a new deal or not.

We gambled and re signed him.

In hindsight it has not paid off.

Based on that it is time to cut losses and move on.

As for wasting a foreigner spot on a bench player you should get a Job at the Jets. With wastefulness like that you will fit right in


As for Clut a couple of good touches do not make it. If he was any good he would be constantly involved in games. He isn't. He is just a peripheral player

Other thing to note Brisbane play good football . They need to regenerate their aging team. If he was any good they would never have let him leave. They did. Ask yourself WHY??

[Mark325]

Adelaide 'wasted' a foreign spot on pablo sanchez in there league winning season and he contributed 8 goals being used mostly as an impact sub. He was also same age as Nobby is now

that comes down to how you rate Jones squad selection, i would think a lot of people would like to see clut given more chances on the pitch, same as vujica as opposed to runnin someone like johnny k or hoff at the left back position

I don't think it matters what age Nordstrand is. His legs are shot.

Sanchez s legs were not shot

Neither was Henrique either when he at the Roar.

Difference is both these two were playing in very good sides who were winning with out the super sub most weeks.

We ain't


Nordstrand has started most weeks and has what 3 ****ing goals.

Bloke has butchered more than that.

End of the day I remember talking to Jeterpool prior to Coast away last season about whether we should sign the bloke.

We were both on the fence. He scores 2 goals and gets a new deal
In hindsight it the wrong call. There were signs there last season he deliver what he has this season

Miller just didn't see it and left us holding the can

His legs are shot? You are smoking crack.

He is week in, week out, one of the most active players on the field and creates plenty of opportunities when he plays as a 10. Jones keeps playing him as a 9 which he is not.

If you'd said he has no killer instinct to shoot or that he shouldn't be sitting up front as a sole striker (which is Jones' fault), I could not agree more.

I think Uga Booga is doing ok.
Certainly played better when Poljak was beside him.

He's also been the best number 10 weve used all year

[Macca]

I'd rather see Clut in 10 than Brown. I haven't seen anything really from Brown since pre season creativity wise. Industry and work rate sure, but there's other spots in midfield for that. I'd place Clut behind Nordstrand and probably slightly ahead of Leilei in our #10 pecking order.
And I also see him as a decent option at striker. Best he's looked this season and some of our best attacking football was him playing as a false 9. I think he could work well in a striking partnership potentially.

Last 4 games, we lose 4 and concede 15 goals. Clut isn't even in the squad for any of those games. The last time he plays we actually get a point. He was involved in 3 of our 5 wins this season. If you think he needs to be cut, there's 18-20 players that go before he does. Is he good enough to propel this team into the top 4, probably not. But he's certainly shown enough to warrant being given another season. More than ****ing Jones.

Would anyone think it's a possibility to go after McLaren? Marquee wages of course. I think it would be a long shot as he's starting every game for Roar and obviously looking to go overseas. Such a shame we didn't genuinely look at him when he left Perth. I'd been calling for us to. But it would be a pretty big statement to go hard at a player like him. Similar to what Victory did poaching Berisha from Brissy.

If with go after Jamie he'd look at our team, see who is giving him service and see the way we play and if he is smart stay far away. But if he ignores all that logic then 100% ill take him

Now going off your recent logic, Member.. It was the PLAYERS who won in Perth. Not Jones. So you can't count this as a Jones achievement.
Raheem scoring goals, as a Jones achievement? Again, using your logic, this is the PLAYERS achievement. Nothing to do with Jones. If the players performs its on THEM, same as if they don't perform.
Releasing two under utilised players, Jones probably had a say it in, but the final decision is on higher management. But I'll give you that one.
Letting BK go? He did his ACL, has done **** all for the last 3-4 years and is getting old. I'm not sure you can count this one as a Jones achievement either, anyone could let that useless prick go.

1 out of 4, not bad.. Been a good year for Jones is seems.

Now going off your recent logic, Member.. It was the PLAYERS who won in Perth. Not Jones. So you can't count this as a Jones achievement.

Releasing players who are off contract at the end of the year is only an achievement if he replaces them with people that make a difference. What did we do? Sweet. ****. All(wright). Bravo Jones, really got ahead of the curve in punting them out in Jan instead of letting them leave in June.

As Ive been saying Jones found no signings in January, Miller found some with less resources and got them to perform. Nordstrand looked quality under Miller but has looked rubbish under Jones. And the no Foreign spots and only Aussie spots, Wasn't Thwaite and Vidosic looking for clubs in January? (correct me if wrong)


Also why the **** did we sign Allwright??????

I think he's the lone opposing side of the debate on many topics discussed on here.

[The Dunster]

There is really two choices. Get used to not making the top six or find another team. Pointless ripping into Jones or the players because their replacements are going to be more of the same anyway. So sit back and enjoy the abortion or get a new team.

[Bremsstrahlung]

I took it as the opposite, and people calling him out on the Jones-love bullshit..

I'm on this bandwagon.

[MFKS]

I think he's the lone opposing side of the debate on many topics discussed on here.

The thing is yes I not ready to crucify Jones as I don't see him as the issue.

He has been let down by a team full of players who can not execute skills correctly.

He has been let down by the Gypo CEO and Ledman with no backing in the market to strengthen the squad.

Basically he is the bloke getting all the criticism and has the Lynch mob baying for his blood.

But he isn't the issue.

He is the fall guy for others incompetence


The attention and negativity needs to be put on hold.

Most of the squad are gone in a few weeks anyway. That we are in the market for blokes like Georgevski and Petratos shows we actually trying and bringing in HAL level players for a change.

Hopefully the Chinese Lightsalesman has cottoned onto the fact he needs to spend spend spend to get us up to spec.

Hopefully the last couple of weeks are just what is needed to break the camel's back and force him into some action

Until the off season has been and done all the blabbering is achieving nothing.

Too many are focused on putting pressure on the Chinese Lightsalesman to sack Jones

They really should be focusing on getting the Chinese Lightsalesman to open his wallet and bring in the quality players we desperately need

[MonkeyKplunk]

At this stage, unless Jones pulls a Miller and challenges Overlord Mok'Morokk, I doubt we'll be seeing the back of him.

Hopefully he's at least been given some fairly strong KPI's so he knows he's on notice.

I wouldn't have a problem with this post, IF you hadn't ripped Miller to shreds the moment he got here and every single day since, and performed under much worse conditions. The fact you relentlessly bagged him to the ****ing hilt means this bullshit patience you have for your uncle Mark is exactly that, bullshit.

Let's just say I have gained a greater understanding of the ways of the universe in recent times.

Miller is still though deserving of my criticism

[evanhayes5]

The way I see it this is where the squad stands for next season.


Duncan/?????
Hoff/Cowburn, Boogard/JK, Jackson/Alessi?, Georgevski/Vujica
????/Poljak**, Ugarkovic/Brown
Nabbout/?????, ??????/Shawbow, ?????/Petratos (the crap one)
Most likely O'Donovan/Kokko

From what i have heard Mullen has been offered a new contract but its way unders on his current deal and what he wants, he is also waiting on Adelaide to offer him a deal. Whats the status of Daniel Alessi will he fill that 4th choice centre back spot? Or does he go after someone like a Taylor Regan or Poscoliero as 4th choice?

Dont think Kanta or Poljak will be resigned, unless Poljak gets his australian citizenship.

Also who do we sign to take Hoole's spot, talks of Austin, not sure if there is any thing to it.

I would sign Lewis italiano as competition for Jack Duncan, think he can push for the number one spot.

So we have room for 2 visa players, one at 6, need an Isaias-esque type of player. And then a number 10, however we need to sign a chinese player also, unless we can get rid of Kokko some how, and in saying that do we take a risk on a Corey Gamiero if he gets released?

There is some quality coming off contract, like Holosko, Ninkovic, Castro remains to be seen whether or not we can afford them.

Isn't there something about an extra visa spot if you sign a player from the Asian federation? Isn't that why we were able to have Ma despite having all other visa spots full already?

[evanhayes5]

Shabow has signed 2 years. Gotta be the end of Clut

It has never really started for him anyway.....

[Jeterpool]

It doesn't have to be the end of Clut at the Jets. I've been told he is really impressing in training, appears to get on well with Jones and isn't causing issue around the club. Maybe it's about him having him building to be a key first team player next season?

[pv4]

Didn't the club say we would be using a Chinese visa player, as well as a Chilean?

Shows just how poor we are around the midfield/front third area. Never should have gotten rid of Leo. Lazy as but who cares if you have Brown and Uga behind him. The bloke had incredible vision and a killer touch.

Jones wants him gone. If he was training well he'd make the bench or start even. We wouldnt have signed Shabow either.

Whos to say Shabow isn't on minimum wage. Clut plays 9 sometimes too. Shabow is 18. There's no reason why they can't exist in the same squad. The only issue I have is using the extra squad spot.

I think your clutching at straws here.

He ain't being picked

The club has just signed a player in his position who is also not the finished article

The writing is pretty clear to me that says Jones doesn't rate Clut??

Why you in denial about it??

Yeah but when your starting players arnt playing well and you hear Clut is training well but cant get a game, Its managers favorites all over again and makes me want Jones going even further

Stanny, just checking, you do realise that the words written on this forum are opinion rather than fact? You seem to get pretty worked up after hearing someone else's opinion on a matter and seem easily mislead. I don't believe 101% of the things written in these threads, not even the stats posted by the statistician on a mission himself, Jeterpool, and that guys like a savant or something. No one knows what Jones thinks about Clut until we ask him personally. Otherwise it's just like the rest of the posts on this wonderful forum.... Asswind! Hahahaha.:arse::arse::arse:

[MFKS]

I backing that the words he training well are complete and utter shit.

If he training well I sure he be getting a run.

Jones is always harping on about performance in training.

He obviously must base his selections on it as somehow Kokko has had 10 comebacks which is obviously down to his training as he doesn't offer it in a game.

Maybe Clut not picked as he not good enough??

Member, that was a terrible rant. Terrible grammar at the very least.

Jones isn't picking him because he doesn't think he can improve the squad. It may have nothing to do with training. If you're a square peg and he needs a triangle peg than no matter how hard he trains it ain't going to work out.

Clut's record whilst on the pitch shows that he doesn't have a negative effect on those around him so you can't start knocking his ability based on Jones assessment of him. I understand you want to give Jones a chance to improve the team and that's great, but don't start saying he has a good judge of character before he has actually done anything to prove you right. Once he started making choices on the playing squad you can back your argument up with facts. Stay the course big bird but don't get ahead of yourself.

[Mark325]

has anyone heard further about whats happening with ma leilei? if he still going in the offseason or no?

also, when looking at the fact that we're probably signing a chilean and chinese player along with the strong rumour of O'Donovan, i'd say we definitely won't be keeping Nobby and will be moving poljak on unless he gets a citizenship but even then Jones isnt using him as frequently

[Tommyjet]

Mckinna stated that we would only consider the chilean option in the january transfer window if the opportunity arises. So if we sell the chinese players (s) in january a spot will open up for a loan basically

I honestly thought we were a better team when clut + nordstrand were playing together at the start of the season, both our wingers were scoring and didn't seem as isolated as they do now.

[The Dunster]

I honestly thought we were a better team when clut + nordstrand were playing together at the start of the season, both our wingers were scoring and didn't seem as isolated as they do now.

Yes. We were doing ok but conceding a few goals so Jones said he was going to look at tightening things up defensively. And since then we had a few games where we were marginally better defensively but our ability to score freely seemed to disappear.
Maybe other coaches worked us out ? I don't know. But rather than tighten the defence why not just score more goals ?

I'm waiting.

Missed Johnny K

I also thought Alessi was signed under Miller

The fact that you are aware of that the in hasn't given Jones significant investment for this season makes your post look weak

But no weaker than your claim that this is a top 6 side as we take part in the Bogan derby for a wooden spoon today

you don't know whether you're coming or going with your arguments these days. here we have some cold, hard facts and you still can't cop it.

Id sign Joe Caletti, FBK, Diego Castro, Josh Risdon, Alex Brosque, Milos Dimitrijevic, Milos Ninkovic

Dont know how id fit them all in the one team as some are similar players or play in the same position, but it would definately strengthen our middle/front third considerably

That's who i would think we will be looking at. I don't love all those players i've chosen but we don't really have a scouting network. Some of the crappier choices come down to wage demands, we definitely have struggled with depth again this year. A couple of nice options of the bench to cover injuries would be nice next year. I'd be happy if we got anyone half decent from Sydney, i.e. anyone other than Cabbage hands.
