Rumour is on 442 forum Ameobi has signed on as Perth's marquee.
I'm unsure if any names were mentioned but griff said it in an interview.Quote:

If you compare the rosters holding mids of the perspective clubs, Paartalu makes the most sense at the Jets
Melbourne Victory
Valeri
Milligan
Broxham
Mahazi
Sydney FC
Dimitrijevic
Antonis
Triantis
Grant
Melbourne City
Murdocca
Mooy
Germano
Melling
Western Sydney
La Rocca
Poljak
Trifiro
Perkatis
Jets
Kantarovski

Linked with Portaloo, end up with Celeski. That's more like the Jets off-season we are expecting!
celevski was one of the better players for victory in his last year there.
i wouldn't be upset if we got him but yes a step down from partaluu
Agreed on both counts. And seeing a few MV fans posting "omg, 125k! bring him back" makes me slightly more enthused.Quote:

Yeah but looking at those teams and their options at DM with the exception of Victree Paartalu would be the best DM by a long way at those clubs so no point ruling them out.Quote:

Thats my point though.
- Victory wouldn't have wasted considerable money on Valeri plus Milligan,
- WSW have used foreign places on 2 holding mids,
- SFC only have 2 spots left (1 earmarked for a marquee and 1 has to be an U21),
- MC have their captain and one of their biggest off season recruits.
Plus if you are Paartulu and walking away from 500k contract only because Ange has told you to play in Aust, you want to be sure to get game time. IMO the Jets are the best fit for both the player and club.
That means he is guaranteed to go elsewhere of course ;-)
For me, Paartalu > Celeski.
However, Celeski is less likely to leave and look to go overseas again unlike, I think, Paartalu. Maybe that's because of his age. Maybe because of his ability. Either way, thats less disruption, more stability and of course not someone we may need to replace midseason.
He's had a significant knee injury in the past I think too.
I guess if we signed him I wouldn't be able to abuse him anymore.
I always liked celeski for some reason, always thought he had a bit to offer. So i wouldnt be unhappy with this signing but i still think paartalu would be better.
Exactly my thoughts. Paartalu option 1. Plus his contract doesnt expire until Dec, I would want him for seasons start.Quote:

I still believe Kanta will give either players a run for their money.
Milligan was complete shit when he played for the Jets. Why would we want to sign Celeski given that Melbourne Victory rate him worse than Milligan ? It makes no sense.
Interesting logic. I don't agree with it, however.Quote:

As for Celeski, I don't rate him at all. No thanks..
I don't think Milligan was particularly shit at the Jets either. If that's what you mean...Quote:

So if we sign Paartalu there is no chance of getting him for season kick off ?Quote:

If he can't make it till December that's where you would have Kanta fill the spot till he gets here
we have a transfer window til the end of octoberQuote:

If Paartalu couldn't come until December, I'd love to see us have the initiative (looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool) to guest stint/loan a Celeski type player until Erik came in.
Celeski is off contract though and would want a club for the whole season.Quote:

Paartalu would be coming completely match fit so preseason would be irrelevant.Quote:
