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.Quote:

One down, four to go.
Anything on the major signing?
When this season first started falling apart was there not a training session the boys had where they lined up Kanta next to Jaliens?Quote:

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.
Hot head boogard.
Good signing.
Don't care that he was a mariner, ecstatic with this signing.Quote:

What a dickhead.Quote:
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.
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
Quite like Boogard, but another CB?
Regan, Mullen and Boogs at CB or does Mullen move to LB.
He doesnt join till the end of the season.
Me agreeQuote:
