I agree with you about the CB status, Mark.
I also don't get Max Burgess link, unless something is happening with Adams

Marquee??? This the same bloke that played a handful of games for us back in 2015 yeah???Quote:

The overseas CB is interesting and I wonder what that hold for the future of Cancar, Susnjar and Natta. A large chunk of cap (assumed) on 4 CB's that would likely start at many mid-to-lower A-League clubs is interesting. You think one would be on their way.
Burgess was really good at Wellington and should never have gone to Sydney.
He'd be an upgrade for us if he recaptured the Nix form but screw that paying good money for a bloke looking for a rehab start.
Newcastle Jets confirm A-League Men?s departures
The Newcastle Jets wish to confirm the departure of the following players from the 2024/25 team.
Dane Ingham, Ryan Scott, Matt Scarcella, Justin Vidić, Wellissol, Callum Timmins, Jacob Dowse, Charles M?Mombwa and Zac Bowling will all depart the Club when their contracts expire on June 30.
Player departure announcements - Dane Ingham, Ryan Scott, Matt Scarcella, Justin Vidić, Wellissol, Callum Timmins, Jacob Dowse, Charles M’Mombwa and Zac Bowling.
Side note, I was asked to help the club with forming the details around each player. I did have their cap numbers in there to make it a bit more personalised but still, nice to see they've included some key details for those who have been around for a while.
A little bummed about M'Mombwa, brought something different to the game but I can see why that wouldn't be every coaches preference. Also it's a very nice touch JP, hope the club want to keep it around in future.Quote:

I offer every year to provide that information - this year they've taken me up on the offer which is nice.Quote:

It's a chance to build squad depth, I think
You make some good points, every year is a rebuild. Been like that for most years in the Jets history. Culture is so important, So is stability.Quote:

It was time Ingham went, Scott for mine makes sense as long as a decent No2 keeper is recruited. Sounds like Timmins took an offer from Perth which is fair enough. But I don't get not signing Charles M'Mombwa at all. I thought he was a great addition, I thought he couldn't have done any more in his stint. He added so much effort and energy in the midfield.
What is interesting is that Mark Milligan played alot with Gui Finkler at Victory. Finkler is now a player agent, worth a call I reckon.
