There you go. Who is next in line for the youth team? Assume they'd become third choice.

Faj isn't it?
He was Duncan's deputy last year.
Think it was Sammy GQuote:

Surely the youth team keeper (whoever that is) will be decent enough as a 3rd option.
The club may be close to a transfer with an O/S club for Bira and looking to trial these keepers as a back up/#1 keeper.Quote:

Also article did specifically say it was the 3rd keeping spot they were trialling for.

All speculation mate. Sorry I should have put maybe at the start of last post.Quote:

Why in gods name do we need a 3rd EXPERIENCED keeper for??
Surely the young yoof keeper can fill in this role and be overlooked for loan keeper when our keepers get kicked in the head again like we did with jack Duncan last season.
If Birraz is leaving then surely we need to be looking at signing a replacement of a calibre greater than these two mentioned as BK isn't good enough
It's nearly June and all I see is, how Mr T puts it, "pain"......
We are signing nobody of any note and unless that happens I can see Heskey bailing out of his contract.
And then there's Tinks......
can we sign someone between 24 - 30
Do office and backroom staff count?Quote:

Guys, not sure if you missed this but our brilliant coaching staff have identified the problem!

Seriously, would be nice if the club could spew out anything more than this tired, old rhetoric.Quote:
Jets highlight key areas for recruitment
http://static.ffa.sportalhosting.com...-leadimage.jpg
Hunter Ports Newcastle Jets head coach Gary van Egmond has confirmed the club is still on the lookout for a player to bolster their options in the attacking third, as well as an experienced central defender.
The Jets confirmed on Wednesday that Socceroos international Harry Kewell would not be joining the Club for the 2013/14 A-League season
However, van Egmond said the Club would still be looking to add another high-quality attacker to their roster, along with a central defender.
“It doesn’t alter who we’re looking at positionally from the fact that we need an attacking player and a left-sided stopper,” van Egmond said.
“They’re the two areas that we’re looking to get and we need both to have a good deal of experience, especially in the backline.
“We’ve got some good young players coming through, but we need someone to give them a little bit of direction, controlling that back four and our defensive shape at times.
“I think that’s something that we really missed last year.”
Van Egmond said that if Kewell was to make a return to the A-League this season, it would be beneficial for the whole competition.
“Of course we would have liked to have someone like Harry come to our Club, but it wasn’t to be,” van Egmond said.
“I read a couple of interesting articles where it was quoted that it was to do with money or what have you, but I don’t think that’s the case. I don’t think Harry would be signing anywhere just for the money.
“I still see it as a real positive for the A-League (if he returns).
“Last year we had Shinji Ono at the Wanderers, Del Piero at Sydney FC and obviously Emile here in Newcastle.
“Now it looks like we’ll have another high profile player at Melbourne Heart, hopefully that might be the impetus for a couple of other teams to get that type of player as well.”
Van Egmond was speaking following Hunter Sports Group’s announcement that nib health funds (nib) had reaffirmed its commitment to the Newcastle Jets and Newcastle Knights by extending its major partnership for an additional 12 months.
Under the agreement, the local health insurer will maintain its coveted sleeve sponsorship with the nib logo appearing on the sleeve of the players’ jersey for both clubs.
“It’s fantastic from the perspective that it’s a Newcastle icon as far as a brand is concerned,” van Egmond said.
“Their partnership with the Knights is the longest-running sponsorship as far as rugby league is concerned and hopefully that can in turn happen for the Jets as well.
“It’s fantastic that it’s a local company that is getting behind the Jets and the Knights and in a very competitive market for sponsorship, to have nib renewed is fantastic.”
GVE OUT.
Should start a "tired old cliches" thread
And with GVE they all start with obviously. Obviously GVE is overated.
Don't any of you dare start stealing my gig.Quote:

Heard from multiple sauces. Cahill approached Tinks at the end of he last MLS season. Ended up going to train back at Everton iirc.
Tinks said yea, Middleby & Palmer said nae
Would find that very hard to believe though without us hearing about it somehow, and getting under the Smurfs radar.
If the money was there HSG would have to be certified insane not to link Cahill with Heskey !
The ball wouldn't hit the deck at all.Quote:

THE Newcastle Jets have completed their goalkeeping ranks for the upcoming A-League season with 19-year-old John Solari agreeing to terms on Thursday.
Solari is yet to officially sign a contract, but is expected to put pen to paper and be announced as the Jets' third goalkeeper today under senior glovemen Mark Birighitti and Ben Kennedy.
Solari arrived at Jets training on Monday from Adelaide Premier League club White City and was competing with former North Queensland Fury and Blackburn Rovers keeper Seb Usai for the spot vacated by Jack Duncan, who moved to Perth.
Solari edged out the more experienced Usai, 23, as he is still eligible to play in the Jets' youth team.
Jets officials are hopeful Solari will be registered for the youth team in time to debut in the Northern NSW State League against Valentine Phoenix on June 8.
hope he has a few pair of gloves, they'll wear out quick with our backline
I hope he is signed oon a youth contract and doesn't take up an actual spot in the squad. Could have been the reason for not signing Usai
Surely there is a local lad that can be brought through as the 3rd keeper, isn't that Daniel Ireland a decent keeper and even spent time at Coventry?
ireland is 24years old (or so). they want someone who can play youth aswell, hence why they didn't sign usai (as stated in article)Quote:

Glad their looking after our local boys, what a jokeQuote:

I don't really get why it is of necessary need to get a keeper under the age of 20 for the youth league. you are allowed overage players and keepers don't hit their peak till 25-30 onwards really.
would have gone for Ireland or that magic under 23's keeper from last year tbh (unsure if he is still there or moved on this year)
i hope he is related to santiago solari
FFS, I couldn't give a shit if they're from Newy or Latvia. As long as they play good football and show passion for the club, I'm happy.Quote:

I remember watching the Breakers back in the day having a bunch of locals and coming next to last every year. Not as much fun as having a winning team.Quote:

Those days of club loyalty and one club local players are long gone - look at the EPL as an example.
The most Newy guy in our club now is BK and as much as he loves the town, he will go straight to any other club if offered either more dosh, or a starting spot.
Tarek, Griff, Thommo, Carle - all stated they loved the shirt and the town but circs deemed otherwise.
Football is business.....we would all gladly take on the entire Gypo premiership winning team if it meant winning trophies !!:tongue:
