Neither Davies or Mutch are with Carl's player agent of choice - so I'd be surprised if they came here unless they defect to another agency.Quote:

We might need a where’s Plague thread to flush him outQuote:

Still disagree with Burns not acclimatising to a 30+ degree temperature rise as being solely a fitness issue. Speculating I could say part may have been a psychological barrier, but it did take him time to acclimatise to 30-40 degree temps (he's probably used to 25 being a heatwave up that part of the world). That said, he was ready to play long before he got the chance to, fitness alone isn't a believable reason why Burns wasn't getting picked under Ernie - suddenly Deans comes in as coach and he's fit then but not while Ernie was still coach?? He also wouldn't be the only younger player who's ever got pulled before a match ended because they've run out of puff, don't think it's as easy as not being fit, Ernie would even use him as a sub...Quote:

I'm hoping O'Toole gets a run soon and can do both parts of the job. Losing Vujica and George in the same window was terrible squad management from all involved.Quote:

That is something you continue to ignore
I disagree hugely as I also do with Burns. Johnny K is tall and quick but is rubbish at fulback as was JacksonQuote:

Burns is also garbage . Cost us a goal last week because he got owned by Kamau of all peopke. Whips in 30 crosses a game that look well flighted but do not find our attackers so are pointless. Can't even run 90 mins out FFS
Johnny K ain't a left back and should never have been there in the first place. Much better suited at RB put for some reason Merrick persisted in leaving him at LB
I ain't saying he a right back either. I think Right CB is his position he much better suited there at RB than LB
As for Jackson
Bloke looks like he in a 3 legged race with 3 left legs when playing left back in an attacking sense. He stifles attacks because he offers nothing going forward. His ability defensively though at LB isn't an issue. He for the most part sticks to his man pretty good at LB. Plenty of times he been played up against a Barbarousis type and he has marked them out of the game. Every now and then he got caught out of position at Left Back. But that ain't that much of a surprise when it is part of his game at Centre Back also
He ain't an ideal solution at LB but he the best option of these 4 by a lomg way
" His ability defensively though at LB isn't an issue. He for the most part sticks to his man pretty good at LB ".
I will have some some of that shite you smok'n member ,You clearly forgotten the start of last season where Bert was playing Jackson at LB and was not even on the same continent as his opponent. He was terrible at LB and was on the end of similar criticism Johnny K was subject to at the start of this season.
The start of last season seen Bert's selections questioned week after week and one of those positions under scrutiny was the continued selection of Jackson at LB. Bert tried both Jackson and Johnny K in position and both stunk in it.
He played about 5 games thereQuote:

It like picking between Aids Cancer Hanging with Gypos etc as your form of death.
They all suck
Just as if I picking Right Back
I would play Hoff Boogaard Johnny K there before that Gypo Miller gets a run
Whereas Ivan played the last few games and looked goodQuote:

I backing the Gypo CEO gives his Gypo mate a deal into next year so he can get paid by us not play for us get fit and then **** off on us to a better club and we won't get paid out of it

BeIN confirmation that Ledley has joined us..

Why are we bothering with these potentially short term deals FFS ?. We have enough of a squad to get through to the end of the season and be planning long term deals not unlike the circumstances around Roy's return which is inclusive of next season.
I get these signings are sensible if there is a view to making them part of the squad for next season however if they are strictly just short term til seasons end then i say who cares !!!!!.
We are still trying to hock the club off to anyone who's interested. So short term deals and cost cutting will be the way until we are sold.Quote:

Has anyone been to training lately??
I was wondering if these two blokes have been sighted at all, or they still on their way over, or what..
Trying to determine a rough ETA to seeing them on the pitch (withstanding the usual Jets excuses about fitness, melting in the sun, 4-6 weeks, etc etc)
Ledley has EPL experience and 70 Wales caps. He's a bit older, no issues bringing him in to help the squad till the end of the season, he's a free after all (except salary)
Beanie played under Carl at Vancouver, knows his management style and play style. Decent striker. No issues with him coming in, hopefully we can keep him next season too.
Everyone complaining we were never spending money to improve the squad, we're doing it now in a manner that makes sense (short term deal to prove themselves, sign an extension is they're good enough) and everyone loses their shit.
Can never win as Jets Management.
I agree. We always say we never sign quality, jets never bring in anyone, well these are 2 quality signings. I'm happy with them. Ledley could be the jets best CM/DM ever.Quote:

Who is complaining or losing there shit ?. Only against if it short term and short term only, Then it will seem like a WOFTAM. If it is with a view to longer term then great there is a method to the process. That is pretty much what you posted is it not ?.Quote:

I think what Roundball is alluding to, is if they did make it a deal for longer than till the end of the season (ie 2 years) then you would have people blowing up about it..Quote:

Agree with the sentiment that these two are decent signings. Happy with both of them tbh.
IF, we have intentions/the ability to secure them for next season provided we are happy.
If they are simply here to waste time before they sign with SFC or some other club, then it’s a silly move. I’d rather us plod along and new coach to get a good look at the whole squad to decide where we can target.
Hope it’s with a short term trial with intention to bring them in next season.
I'd imagine this will be a matter of signing these players short term, seeing how they handle themselves and if the results are good then we'll have them for next season and they'll be at full fitness
i feel like this will be the most stacked bench we've had in a very long time as a club. Having players such as ibini, ledley, wes as subs is something this club can never really say its had
This.....Quote:

But none of this changes the fact that the Gypo in charge can still get out of our club as soon as possible. What are we at now, 6 ex-gypos on the field now? It's a joke.
Look at this BS
****s celebrating the signing of a ****ing Gypo to our club by using words like decent and quality to describe someone who is nothing more than an injury prone washed up never was Gypo
FMD some of you guys won't be happy until the Gypo CEO has a squad full of Gypo scum disgracing us on a weekly basis
You and the anti mariners club are hilarious. A rivalry only for the sake they are our closest neighbour that was created more recently than most millennials were born.Quote:

Lawrie is an approachable CEO who has shown he has the clubs best interest at the forefront of his goals. He could fill our team with former mariners and Sydney players and if it delivers good football and hopefully success then I will thank him for it.
Bloke has achieved what with us??Quote:

We also got another wooden spoon in that time as well
This is how bad of a job that is being done. We sacked a manager then took 5 ****ing weeks to replace him whilst any chance of salvaging the season was frittered away
You think he doing a great job??
