right from that list am happy to give another year to Mitchell, Carney, Griff
Rest can gtfo
Must throw as much money at taggart as possible to keep him here at the Newcastle jets at least for next season.
Taggz is already signed for next season.
I would probably be signing him to a longer better deal, so that we can maximise any transfer fee that may eventuate.
The other 2 blokes I agree with particularly that Griffo bloke.Quote:

Yes we could re sign him but we have too many players already on the books of his ilk ie Average who will eventually **** up
The signing of Kew Jaliens shows someone has a clue so there is room to believe we could sign a very good player to partner Kew.
Its high time we actually assembled a squad capable of making the top 6 in a 10 team comp. Mitchell to me is the signing of a club who wishes to try and make the 6 not the signing of a club who expects to make the 6

I don't see what else people want. He perfectly compliments Kew, and they are forming quite a formidable partnership. And he's keeping Regan & Chapman out of a job, he's doing so well!
I quite like every player in our squad who is coming off contract (bar Bridges, for well-documented reasons). I'd love to see them all re-signed (particularly Mitchell & Griff), assuming we don't have the drawing power plus audacity and ability to attract better players (and, assuming we're typical jerks, this will be the case).
I'm sure we will do as that's our style - rather than signing good quality skilled players, sign players who are demonstrably poorly skilled, have a long term trend of being crap, but are currently performing somewhat better than said long term trend.Quote:

Gibbs- Release
Brown- Release
Bridges- Release
Ward- Release
Griffiths- Re-sign
Carney- Re-sign
Heskey- Re-sign (only if he will take a massive pay cut and come under the cap)
Mitchell-???
Birighitti- Sell
Taggart- Sell
Brillante- Sell
Burns- Sign
Kennedy- Sign (Josh)
Holland- Sign
Same bloke dogged it for Harolds goal at the weekend/Quote:

I never said he wasn't at fault for things nor didn't make mistakes. Every player does. That's usually how goals are scored. I still think he's incredibly solid, and very suited to our club.Quote:

Very suited to our clubs continued desire to seek and achieve mediocrity.
Watch him on the weekend instead of Bridges:whistling: and see how often he needlessly passes back to BK when he could pass forward. Ball comes back to him and he will choose the easy option and play it back and negates the option to keep possession and look forward for a suitable pass
why would james Holland want to return. hes playing regularly in Austria and in europeQuote:

Obviously not a popular opinion (that Mitchell is good enough for us/the league), but myself, pv4 and Dunster will just make our own little Mitchell Appreciation Society lol
Someone go and quiz Chapman about his future at the clubQuote:
PLAYER APPEARANCE | Newcastle Jets players James Brown and Connor Chapman will be at Telstra Kotara between 6pm and 7pm tonight! The players will be giving away Jets and Telstra merch, signing autographs and will be handing over a signed 2013/14 Newcastle Jets home strip to the winner of last month's Telstra Broadband competition. Make sure you pop down to Westfield Kotara to say hi! #NTUA
Ward - don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Spotted Marcos Flores in the Jets box with the other players and Tarek. Sorry about the picture quality
Interesting...Attachment 679
He'd be a great addition.... So long as we don't expect home to win us everything.
High expectations seem to kill off any hope.
If he's not wanting massive coin I'd be happy with him dictating play next season.
New pitch needed though.

Surprised it was Brillante. Not surprised that the finalists were him, Kew and Taggart.Quote:
Hunter Ports Newcastle Jets utility Josh Brillante has capped off a stellar season by being named the Club’s Player of the Year for 2013/14.
Brillante, who was one of three finalists along with striker Adam Taggart and defender Kew Jaliens, accepted his award at Hunter Stadium on Saturday night.
The versatile Brillante made 24 appearances for the Jets this season, featuring prominently in both central midfield and at the right fullback position.
Brillante contributed three goal assists during the 2013/14 campaign and his consistent performances on a weekly basis earned the praise of many pundits.
Being named Jets Player of the Year for 2013/14 completes an outstanding 12 months for the 20-year-old, which saw him make his Socceroos debut, represent the Young Socceroos at the FIFA U-20 World Cup and be named Australian Young Footballer of the Year for 2013.
Jets interim head coach Clayton Zane said Brillante was a thoroughly deserving recipient of the A-League Player of the Year accolade.
“Josh has had a standout year and was excellent for us all season, which is a testament to his attitude and work ethic,” Zane said.
“He has continued to grow and develop as the season went on, doing his job week-in, week-out no matter what position he played in.
“The manner in which Josh has carried himself throughout the season and the character he’s shown on and off the football pitch indicates he has a bright future in the game ahead of him.”
Despite narrowly missing out on the top prize, Taggart did not leave the awards night empty handed, picking up the Members Player of the Year Award and winning the Club’s Top Goal Scorer accolade after bagging 16 goals this season.
Radovan Pavicevic was named National Youth League (NYL) player of the year, while Kale Bradbery received the NYL Top Goal Scorer award.
The Jets’ W-League Player of the Year award was presented to Gema Simon.
The 23-year-old performed at a consistently high level for the Jets women throughout the season and was a worthy recipient of the prize.
Newcastle Jets 2013/14 Award winners:
A-League Player of the Year: Josh Brillante
A-League Members Player of the Year: Adam Taggart
A-League Top Goal Scorer: Adam Taggart
W-League Player of the Year: Gema Simon
National Youth League Player of the Year: Radovan Pavicevic
National Youth League Top Goal Scorer:Kale Bradbery
Club Person of the Year: Brent Anderson
Seriously who are the flogs who voted for this??
As if Griffo wouldn't win the fans player award??
How the **** did Taggz win it?? No offence but the Griff has him well covered in the popularity stakes
Who was consulted on this shit?? I never voted
Farking Dis Grace
Please...Quote:

I have no doubt that Taggz will prove himself to be the best striker we've ever had at the club. He'll be showing us his talent in a better league within a year or two for sure.
I like Griff but he's no competition for Taggz these days.
2013-14:
Griffo - 3 goals
Taggz - 16 goals
It is really that surprising Taggz is our most popular player?
Awesome scoop!Quote:

I agree taggz has been better this year, but that's to be expected given his age, position, tactical use by coach, games played etc.
Some of his finishing was deadset honking hey, and you could argue that it made a big difference to some of our results (e.g those 2 clear-cut chances against Perth, one when Duncan ****ed up and he had an open goal, the second when he was one-on-one).
Come to think of it, how many one-on-one opportunities did Taggart actually bury? It seemed like he would always run super close to the keeper and have his shots blocked.
NB Obvs the kid is a freak and has the potential to do great things. Comparing him to Griff though, lol.
i think your comparing griff to the wrong guy compare griff to everyone who played on the wing this season
griff 3 goals
hoole 0
virgilli 0
goodwin 0
burns 2 (in one game)
all 4 of them played more game time as well.
SIGN GRIFF
Goodwin scored 2 goals though
Ahh forgot about his double against Wellington
Good pickup
Don't get your hopes up - heard I guy ask him, " so are you playing for us next year?" He responded - "no just here to watch the game and see some friends".Quote:

Exactly. Some of the goals he has scored this year, he had no right to score. And some of them, barely anyone helped him with. Pretty much all of his three goals v Heart were outrageous. He has single-handedly won us many games this year.Quote:

brillante, taagz, & co should be grateful the club brought them here as they were unproven (i'm aware they had massive potential). It would be awesome if they were to repay the faith and hanged around for one more season.
i'm sure the club is taking a risk on losing out on big money for the transfers they may receive but the risk they take in losing these players and not replacing them with equivalent valued players is much more worse.
hate to mention the gypos, but all there young guns hanged round to win the premiership (bar rogic) sainsbury, ryan & bozanic all left after achieving something.
They need a coach who they believe can help them achieve that. Otherwise they are just treading water.
