maybe, maybe, maybe they were just bad buys, like the rest of the bad buys over the last how many years.Quote:

Neither on paper are bad signings as such in theory
Both though were square pegs in round holes at the club though
Any news about the shitty Jets squad? Or we moved to banging on about epl rubbish?
I agree with the above analysis. By bad buy I did not mean it to not mean bad player, bad buy means the player does not fit in with the club playing style.Quote:

I think it is also laziness on behalf of the club'sQuote:

That is a big problem as we are only getting access to what comes our way
And on a whogivesafukkaboutManU note, NBN Bobby:

Bang on, It is lazy recruiting that sees clubs like ours provide the likes of Fitzuseless his 37th opportunity at this level as opposed to getting around the NPL's and identifying a prospect and at the very least provide them with one.Quote:

Team news as the women's did the same thingQuote:

Probably announcing that instead of wasting everyone's time by flying to NZ the Jets have decided it be easier all round to forfeit and take a 3-0 loss on the chinQuote:

A little Sydney-centric but you hear how they manage their squads, salary cap concessions, transfers etc.
Compare away lads!
I found it very interesting. The concessions for academy and legacy players makes it worthwhile investing in someone if they perform well - only if you can afford to pay over the cap!Quote:

I knew nothing about "banking".Quote:

NBN Boogs back in the mix

Tarek has left the wanderers. We should try to get him.
Heard he going to PerthQuote:

Connor O Toole apparently
Wonder what agents were involved
Thought he was a decent talent last season but just hasn't got a look in under Fowler.Quote:

Looks like a handy addition, but do we need 3 guys in the squad that can play left back? Maybe a deal at the end of the year when Burns returns to Scotland would have been better. That would leave O Toole and Johnny K battling for left back.Quote:

Johnny K isn't a LB. He's been doing a job there as Burns took 6 months to get game fit... As is tradition round here.Quote:

Why all the love for a Roy return ?. He has been terrible at Roar when given game time in between injuries. If he had of stayed and put in similar performances here we would be saying how we should have cut him loose. The only thing he still had going for him at the Roar was his ability to give a good thumbs up to all the good service he was getting and wasting.
I guess it is the hope that he won't miss as many as HoffQuote:

I will admit, LB has been an issue this year. We've signed one. Still doesn't fix the issue of why the heck we signed Burns, but hopefully we cut him and use that Visa spot more wisely. And by more wisely I don't mean another bench player like Ridenton.
If we get rid of Ridenton and Moss, who both don't deserve visa spots, that will clean up some of the damage Gypo CEO has been doing.
Moss isnt a visa player, He has a dual passportQuote:

Also, for those mocking the Roy links. He's not wanted at the Roar but still has 6 goals in 12 games.
Add those 6 goals to our team and we are probably ahead of the Gypos. Roy is over the hill and no decent team should be starting him, but we aren't a decent team. The alternative is Hoffman and Fitzgerald starting.
Are we watching different players? Admittedly it took a while for him to acclimate but since Burns came in hes been solid in both attack and defence. I would be sad to see him go personally, it would depend what could be worked out with Hearts.Quote:
