Newcastle United Jets 2013/2014 Squad thread

[hawk]

As for the advice the PFA are giving everyone of the players it is a disgrace and just shows what a joke of an organisation they are. They should not be interested at all in negotiating any form of pay out for the 4 shafted by Stubbins and Tinkler at all. Their only goal on that front should be getting those boys their ****ing jobs back.



A little agreement in there but it should be this way.

Sacked players to stay, owner & coach out and buried at sea so they cant repeat disease spread, new regime decides who they want to keep by going through respectable negotiations.

Not far off the mark. Tinkler and Stubbins are more than welcome to run the Gypos club and reek their havoc on them. I would fully support that.

Hell I would happily trade those 2 for Hutcho to Jets and not bat a ****ing eyelid

[lquiquer]

Who will be our new captain?

My bet: BK

Yours?

Who will be our new captain?

Mullen.

He is the only player who has publically endorsed Phil this week

Just out of curiosity this treatment of Griff Celvski Madaschi by making them train separately from the main group how does this stack up in relation to a discrimination case via work place bullying??

Everytime I have had to read material on that nature for work and their policies the practice of ostracising someone and not including them would also have physcological effects of not being wanted etc and it was pretty loud and clear as a breach on this issue.

Why the **** are these blokes any different cause they are footballers??

Why the f**k are the team not training today?
They have a game in 2 days and lets face it, it's not like any of them deserve a f'ing day off. Stubbins is clearly out of Ideas, FFS get back on the training pitch and work f'ing hard so we don't get beat 7-0 again.
Assuming these new blokes are starting on Friday they need as much time as possible to get familiar with the rest of the squad. :banghead:

Interesting that Griff said this about the new guys being brought in:


‘‘There are some new players at the club as well, and I wanted to try and make them feel welcome."

...

‘‘I am so happy that Jonesy is back at the club,’’ Griffiths said. ‘‘I have a lot of respect for him, and the boys will benefit greatly for him being there."

The bloke has a winning record of 7% and somehow keeps his job despite losing 7-0 and the owner trusts him to rip the squad apart and rebuild.

I agree Tinks is setting the next owners up nicely for a rebuild.

Though I think Jeronimo should of been more than a squadie. I think he proved coming off the bench that he deserved more time than what he was given. I think he was the best player left after the 5 who were "sacked" last week. Though i am not suprised he is gone, kind of expected it given the rumours of him having a different opinion on things than Stubbs.

I know this club will be ok long term, but this crap that's going on right now is easily avoidable. I have no problem with the manager/owner formalising a plan to rebuild a team. I don't agree with the instant sackings of players. I strongly disagree with this happening mid season, in the manner it is being done.

The longer this goes on, the bigger gap there will be between the club and it's supporters whilst Tinkler is in charge, and I myself doubt that will be repaired. He will never have my full support.

Whoever takes over the club if Tinkler goes I think will have full backing of the supporters after this, which is a positive thing out of all this.

No doubt Jeronimo has proved of use off the bench. Problem is with keeping him we are wasting a foreign spot on a squaddie.

Mate we have to get out of that line of thinking and aim for the top not keep making these shit decisions which are so far short sighted it isn't funny


Our foreigners have to be first picked in the starting side or we go with Aussies all the way

As for your thoughts about disconnect between fans and club yes it is occurring but it is making our passion and bond even stronger. As soon as this is resolved we will be sweet.

We may just lose a couple of the plastic fans jumping off the bandwagon in the meantime and you know my thoughts on that lot.

NEWY TIL I DIE

Growing what?? They are plastic by nature and will drop on and off whenever it suits them usually in correlation to our on field fortunes. Our fortunes are shit at present that is why they want out. When the good times return they will be back. Why should they claim the glory and not deal with the ridicule of being called out for what they are?? If they are offended by it too bad.

Anyone who turns their back on the club right now has no right to call themselves a fan. They are deserting their club in our hour of need.
You don't let some bloke who backed off and deserted the frontline in times of war to march with those on Anzac Day who did actually stand their ground and dug in for the fight. It just ain't right


As for these casual supporters our game does not need them as much as people think. We have a product that is fantastic without them.

The authorities should be bending over backwards to look after those who embrace the game 100% and letting these people do as they like.
Instead we waste piles of time/money on these people whilst those who should be looked after are left to fend for themselves and are taken for granted.

[idontwannaplaywithhowey]

Clubs needs supporters...especially clubs that make a loss each and every season (like the Jets)...Whether they are fans that turn up every week, those who watch on fox and assist clubs with their pay tv subscription, those that purchase merchandise, those that turn up 'when the going is good'...
Fans come in all shapes and sizes, and those that think they are more important than any other really just need to get some perspective.

I would have to disagree,
Given the day off entirely is ludicrous, if it was about resting the body then there is still plenty of things they can work on without straining the body. They could of had a recovery session followed by a tactical session, IMO there is only one day a week they should have off completly and that is 2 days after a game, the only other days off that are justifiable are days off for personal/family reason.

[pv4]

As a genuine question to Blackmac, militia and anyone who thought like they did on the whole picket line players etc - what are your thoughts on Taylor Regan accepting the captaincy, and the comments he made to go along with doing so?

Do you find it disrespectful of him to take the captaincy held by Jaliens and Griff? Is it wrong of him to say that we must move on?

http://www.newcastlejets.com.au/article/captain-taylor-says-performance-should-reflect-people/16ctjltke9usw18rzlz0ltamtc


Locally born and bred defender Taylor Regan will lead the Newcastle Jets against Brisbane Roar at Hunter Stadium on Friday night, and he believes the team's performance should reflect the people of the region.
After team training on Thursday Jets boss Phil Stubbins spoke with Regan regarding the role, and the 26-year-old Novocastrian subsequently told media of his honour to captain his hometown club. Regan will wear the armband against Brisbane and be part of a new leadership group at the Jets throughout the remainder of Hyundai A-League season ten.

“Obviously it’s an honour to wear the armband for the Jets and with this group of players,” Regan said. “To be captain in front of my home fans and my family, and for the team that I grew up supporting is important to me.”

There’s no denying that it’s been a tough season for the Jets. But despite a last start struggle against Adelaide United at Coopers Stadium and the departure of a number of players from the club since its round 15 match, Regan believes the men from Hunter Stadium can produce a performance its members and fans can be proud of when Roar arrive.

“No one is hiding the fact that we’ve lost some key members of our squad, but we must move on and play for the community and town and make them proud of us again,” he said. “Over the last few weeks and months there has probably been a bit of pride lost. We want to get that back.”

Regan said that part of the team’s pride restoration process is putting in a performance that reflects the values, morals, and people of Newcastle and its surrounds.

“Having ability is one thing, but I think it’s important that a team reflects its community in the way that we play. We’re determined to roll our sleeves up and get stuck in no matter the situation,” he said.

The former Newcastle Jets Youth player said each player was aware of his role in the team structure for tomorrow night.

“We’re clear of our roles and we have to stick to them.”

“We need to put in a good showing for our loyal supporters,” Regan concluded.

So what you are saying is that the 8-9-10k or whatever, are more important fans, than anyone who decides to come and see if they might enjoy watching a football match. Yep, that's how you grow the A-League. No wonder other sports fans think we have an inferiority complex.

Of course they are more important. Your core support should always be looked after first. They should never be taken for granted.


As for these fairweather types you are talking about we are talking about a sport they have been exposed to and have rejected in the past or failed to embrace.

It ain't like some obscure sport like Gridiron or Disc Golf where people may not have known it existed.


Explain exactly why we should be bending over backwards to entice these people when the sport is pretty freely accessible to them and they are the ones who have not discovered its charms??

Comparing the front line in war and the courage or not of anyone who actually makes there is not even in the same solar system as whether or not a fan is plastic because he/she chooses to spend there free time watching a football team that is run by a complete bastard and managed by man with as much ability and gumption as a brick.

They didn't have a game which therefore may have been replaced with double/hard sessions and as the Member pointed out Wednesday could well be their weekly day off. The CBA dictates 1 day a week off from all activities. There is also the mental strain of all that went on and a day off completely away from the club could be what the players need to focus on the game.

A one size fits all approach to training and conditioning doesn't work so saying that the players should be training 2 days before the game isn't always the accurate. Pillory Stubbins for his training techniques and lack of strategy by all means

[borat]

a very average player, was dropped, because not good enough, and consistent poor performances.
NOW he is captain.
forget about players being terminated, leaving , signing for new clubs.
Regan as captain, and BK the 1st contract offerd.. shows you the intelligence of the club
good luck jets on friday, i hope its not double digits with the shithouse lineup put forward.
Wether Regan should or would have been captain is one argument, however it's very likely he would have been recalled to the starting line up this week regardless of the terminations

No one is stopping any of you plastic fans turning your back on the club. Just don't claim to be a supporter cause your not and you have been dubbed your correct title as a plastic fan.

They want to spend the HAL season doing something else than watching the Jets go right ahead your welcome to. When we sort our shit out and these people come back the title plastic fan will fit real well

Just like anyone who deserts their post in battle and dogs it does not deserve the respect and appreciation given to those that stood their ground.

Deal with the analogy and stop comparing watching football and participation in a war cause your not impressing me with your IQ

The rest of us are going batten down the hatches stand our posts whilst the going gets tough and see this battle through and earn our stripes.

I don't think the member is referring to people who come along to see if they enjoy a football match. They aren't fans, they are potential fans.

What he is talking about, if I read it correctly, is people who have been coming week in, week out, and now have decided that its all gotten too much and they are going to stay home. Inevitably these "fans" will be back when things turn around and will claim to be the biggest fans of the team ever.

Wether Regan should or would have been captain is one argument, however it's very likely he would have been recalled to the starting line up this week regardless of the terminations

Why though? We have shipped 86 billion goals and Gallagher and Welsh have clearly been shown as ahead of him in the line up. He hasn't even made the bench since early November. Why wouldn't we assume that WitchesHat Welsh and WitchesHat Gallagher were in line for starting berths?

He has also been injured during his absence so it ain't like his non selection since the 4-0 Roar hiding is the only reason he hasn't had a game. Henrique owning him was what got him dropped but the injury made sure he had limited chance to get back in the side

Regan as captain smacks of a political move to some of the fans back- no nonsense local lad etc.

however, he is not up to this standard and reflects the Dudley psyche perfectly - any of our local players who have had the misfortune of playing Dudley over the years you will know what I mean.

regan is not up to this level and plays an ugly version of the beautiful game.
this is not the way forward, to use Stubby speak, and represents a throwing of kero on our burning carcass of a club.

As a genuine question to Blackmac, militia and anyone who thought like they did on the whole picket line players etc - what are your thoughts on Taylor Regan accepting the captaincy, and the comments he made to go along with doing so?

Do you find it disrespectful of him to take the captaincy held by Jaliens and Griff? Is it wrong of him to say that we must move on?

What are your thoughts on Taylor Regan accepting this, and how will you react tonight during the game?

Taylor is just a bonafide Newy legend who is doing the honourable thing and stepping up in the clubs hour of need.

Sorry when was Welsh & Gallagher ever getting selected infront of Regan as a CB in a back 4?? Gallagher hasn't played as a CB since rd 3/4 and Welsh played entirely in a back 3 or as a DM.

I personally don't beleive that Regan is overly talented, but when your team gets smashed 7-0 and 99% of the team play with 0 commitment and effort, Regan is exactly the type of player you select.

On the captaincy, wether he deserves it or not is another story, but like Joel Griffiths you could never question Regan's commitment. It's players like these I want to see play for the rest of the season, players that actually give a shit.

Agree about playing players that actually give a shit and giving their all FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON. This seasons gone.

Gallagher was dropped as a CB in round 3/4 and has never played there since. Welsh I don't think has ever played as a CB in a back 4, maybe one game.

When you are humiliated 7-0 there is clearly deep rooted problems in the team. Constantly 2nd to the ball and lacking any sort of commitment. You can change the positions, players, formations but none will matter unless the team are willing to put in and push harder than the opposition.

Paired with Mullen, it's probably the first time in years we have had 2 fit mobile CB's.

Madaschi and Kew deserved to get dropped regardless.

Absolutely. I just think up until now we reek of a team that no amount of changes or formation will help. When you are constantly second to the ball the players are not playing for each other and have raised the white flag. Don't get me wrong, Stubbins is accountable for this but so are the players.

Until they start putting in nothing will change. Some players were putting in but that doesn't make a team.

In some respects alot of what Tinkler/Stubbins has said is right in that the club needed a shake up and a broom put through it. Whether they got the right players and their methods in doing so is what is wrong.

Something that completely annoys me is the way David Carney has gotten a free ride in all of this.

Senior Player, gets a career lifeline from the Jets and a 2 year contract that puts him in the top paid players in the club. And how does he respond as a senior player and example to the younger players?

Openly admits to negotiating with SFC and Arnold within 6 months whilst trying to leverage another deal to China and admits to 2 breaches of his contract with the third up for debate.

This is the sort of senior player guys like Hoole look to. It's disgusting behaviour at a time when the Jets were going backwards and he clearly was just collecting his pay cheque.

SFC scum.

this. completely agree. Madaschi and Kew have been woeful all season in my opinion and each match I was expecting one or both to be benched.

when you're getting hammered week in week out, giving another guy a shot in a key position is only going to affect goal difference, not points. may as well give it a shot.

Great post.

Agree the players need a good look at themselves also. They have let themselves and the fans down dramatically this season with their efforts not being up to scratch

Only problem is at this point in time we can't exactly throw them under the bus as well like Tinkler and Stubbins and actually have to support them in the hope they will actually come good.

Was actually a midfielder til pubic haired muppet got his claws into him.

I believe the entire squad have let their shafted teammates down point blank by not sticking up for them as soon as Tinkler started sacking them. They stand strong and he sacks them all and the farce that is our owner/manager comes to a head straight away when the FFA have to step in as Tinkler has no players at all for tonights game.

That though wasn't done.

I also believe the lot of them should have been honest to Phil when the 3 said they will only play for the fans. There are a few cowards in there who have not stood up

As for these 11 blokes I will support them regardless of who takes the field. I just ain't cheering hard for these new players who have crossed the picket line until one of them punches Hutcho in the nuts scores a hatty or proves themselves to be Newy etc

He could still arguably play centre mid IMO. Much like Spira.

I remember in NBN playing against Taylor Regan and he was always a midfielder or forward, very attack-minded and quite pacey, usually put at right wing when I was against him. In the early days of him playing Jerks Youth I found it quite odd he'd been converted to CB, but nowadays I see him suitable to no other position :rof:

I don't often say this but i 100% agree. Its not a change in personnel, its the completely unethical way that it was conducted that is the issue.

Am pretty sure the reign of van Egmond will be reflected on in future as the Jets' heyday.

[Pico]

Speaking of shafting locals anyone know why Brandon Lundy has had no look in for the first team even with our thread bare squad and today was not even in the Yoof team today???

Hopefully he's trialling with other HAL squads, that's what I'd be organising if I was his manager.

[judge]

I'm talking local youth development, GVE looked after all his boy's from AIS at the expense of local lads. Now he's in charge of local youth development.

A little bit of vomit just entered my mouth............

[hawk]

Its not a change in personnel, its the completely unethical way that it was conducted that is the issue. That's why a little bit of showboating and shit talk in the media from Tinkler wont sway me into supporting his regime. The bloke is a piece of shit and everything that he touches will eventually go that way.

well played howey.

tinks could throw 100 mill at us but I still dont want the grub anywhere near us......

Looking beyond these 2 players there's plenty of people Carl Thornton could easily give a run for their money.
I guess there's a difference between players who could play a higher level and ones who want to play

Pretty sure it was mentioned by Lowey in one of his herald columns.

Here it is....
http://www.theherald.com.au/story/2871841/david-lowe-supporters-in-no-mans-land/

[BP Super Dynamos]

Kantarovski looks like an all age referee. Can't be assed leaving the centre circle and occasionally breaks up an opposition attack

[ClemoAdam]

^ I lol'ed hard.
I remember when Kanta was 'the next big thing' and trialling with European teams. Now though, he's still kicking around with the Jets all these years later. To be fair though he is still young with plenty of football ahead of him to improve.

[Thomas477]

Tbh, I thought Kanta's distribution wasn't that bad. He was hitting the long switch pretty well.

[Tommyjet]

Kanta seems to divide opinion. Personally I think as a defensive mid he is the best we have by a mile defensively. His passing is inconsistent tho but it was quite good the other night. Everyone is allowed their opinion but we simply need him to protect the back four and we don't have anyone else capable at present.

Well Caravella and Pepper aren't exactly great defensive midfielders

[BodyNovo]

personally think kantas career is moving towards playing centre back.

he offers little attacking threat and his biggest strengths is his defensive work.

Like I said in the Jerkstream podcast (check it out), to me since his injuries he appears to be quite sluggish, and slow, in his movements. Maybe a move to a defensive position where his pace won't be as much of an issue as in the mids is the best thing for him.

Wasn't his first game for us way back when as a centre back against the Gypo's?
Impressed me that day didn't know why we moved him (and kept Stu).

When this season first started falling apart was there not a training session the boys had where they lined up Kanta next to Jaliens?

We may not have much else in terms of players who can replace him as a defensive midfielder but it'd be worth a shot.

Proven HAL Level player. Local Boy etc

Looks a good signing.

Only issue I have besides his obvious Gypo ties is doesn't he always get sent off against us. If he don't he probably should have

[GazFish35]

Good.

I can look past his ccm days knowing he was with us at the end of the nsl and not picked up by us at the start of 'new football'.

He was young and can't be blamed for signed ing a pro contract with a club 50km from home when his home team said he was surplus to requirements.


Hes a solid experienced defender.


That said, he's slow and a red card waiting to happen.

[Blackmac79]

Don't care that he was a mariner, ecstatic with this signing.

[MFKS]

I take it Boogard is this big signing we were promised Monday???

[MFKS]

Stubbins added: “As a respected player in the Hyundai A-League, Nigel’s signing shows the supporters that Newcastle is seen as a strong club and one that can compete with rival teams for the services of top players.”

“Of course, it helped our cause that Nigel is a proud Novocastrian and that he genuinely wants to play what could prove to be some of his best years as a professional with his hometown club,” he concluded.

What a dickhead.

No shit that Boogards local ties helped the cause of signing him. They were always gonna be a positive in any negotiations for the Jets.


As for the bit about we can compete with rival teams that is just more smoke and mirrors bullshit. Good solid HAL player yes. Valued signing Yes. Welcome addition Yes
But not a ****ing approval that the top quality elite players in this country are keen to play for our club.

Suppose next time the circus ringmaster will give himself a pat on the back for arseing a draw at home V the team coming last.

The 3 years contract though seems a bit excessive length wise though and would have preferred 2 and go from there

[The Postman]

Quite like Boogard, but another CB?

Regan, Mullen and Boogs at CB or does Mullen move to LB.

[OmeletteDuFromage]

He doesnt join till the end of the season.

This.

Every team needs someone with a bit of a mean streak

[borat]

I have been quite impressed with Mullen and hope we retain him beyond this season. The Boogaard signing is all relative to what he is earning. If the lure was the certainty of a 3yr contract over big $$$ then that seals the CB's in the team on not overly massive dollars. Compare that to Kew and Madaschi who would surely have been in the top 5 earners. Hopefully that is more to spend further down the park.

[furns]

Mullen as a CB - yes
Mullen at a RB (much like Topor) - f*ck no

[GazFish35]

will help us play in a certain way


Anyone else noticed that phil has never mentioned what this "certain way" actually is?

The only thing he's mentioned is "hard working"

**** that up a wall, every professional team should work hard.

[Grimario]

The thing I think most of you have missed is this now means we have 3 potential Stubbins Yes Men to play at the back. The return of the 3-5-2 is nigh!

[The Postman]

Generally have more than 2 CBS in squad, injuries and competition for places etc

Well obviously, we are pretty well off now numbers wise, depending who returns next season, it could be Regan, Boogaard, Mullen, Welsh, Gallagher, Cowburn.

My issue is though the team has more pressing issues such as ST for next season, with Motano's loan ending and Griff and Jeronimo on the outer and left town already we are left with just Pavicevic and Crowley.

[Thomas477]

**** Welsh right off, maybe play him up front? He's got a great first touch, and tackles like a striker.

[380]

And Gallagher , Both would be struggling to get a first team gig elsewhere in this league.

[borat]

Mullen as a CB - yes
Mullen at a RB (much like Topor) - f*ck no

Absolutely but its always good to have a CB who can back up elsewhere. What I like about it is that we would have 3 pretty evenly matched solid signings to compete with each other. Realistically we aren't going to compete with the other clubs after this season so we will need to grab solid local signings and spend big with the foreign players. Stubbing will have all the salary cap to spend so there can be no excuses. Must say he has done well the Lee Ki Jee, don't know how he pulled that off.

[joel31]

I've figured it out. Mullen will play at right back to pave the way for Scott Neville to move to Sydney

[borat]

**** Welsh right off, maybe play him up front? He's got a great first touch, and tackles like a striker.

See I don't get this at all. Welsh should be 4th choice CB and back up DM. On min wage contract and should learn his trade as a professional by playing NYL most of the season and called up to the bench on occasion. Instead we have thrown him into the starting team and wonder why he fails.

To give the circus ringmaster some credit his signings have not been bad at all. Jeronimo Flores Madaschi Celevski Lee Ki Je Mullen etc are decent players

Problem is how he integrates them into the side with his inept coaching.

Montano classic example. Can see we have a very good player here potentially. The way Stubbins plays him and the rest of our side though sees us get the least value from him we could.

Hopefully the Lee Ki Je doesn't get screwed like this and we can get someone in to coach us well

Could we be looking at 3-5-2 for next season as Grimario pointed out? Play Boogs in the centre of Mullen and Regan. Lee Ki-Je and Scott Neville as your wing backs. Centre of the park Pepper and Kanta with Cooper. Then who up front?

This signing says to me one of Gallagher, Mullen or Welsh will not be retained. My bet is Gallagher.

[Thomas477]

What about any of the young centre backs we have playing in the NYL?
