That is a gross misrepresentation of Middleby's activities in this transfer, pv4.Quote:

If say he is on a wage of $300,,000 per year and it is a three year deal then Fiorntina only paid $100,000

Assuming the 1 million fee is real then the Jets will receive what's left of 1 million after the FFA get their cut, Beard and his agent get their cut, Beards junior clubs get their allowance

But you seem to be implying that wage = transfer free... or are you asking if it is part of the value?Quote:

De Silva's was $2.5mQuote:

Geez, I hope he can hold a spot over there. Would be great for develoment and hopefully socceroos future
He could be the next Grella/Bresciano. Playing in that league, if successful, will mean stardom for the kid and a guaranteed next World Cup.

I do not know what the transfer is or what was paid to the Jets, as the press mentioned cost not tansfer fee.
Hopefully the worm is turning and we as a country start getting our players playing again in the top leagues in Europe just like we did 10-15 years ago.
Ever so slowly the doom in Aussie football is lifting and the Socceroos future looks bright
Da silvas wasn't 2.5m. It has the potential to be 2.5m with sell-on fees etc. Initial 500k.Quote:

Cool !!!
Johnny Steele.
Pornstar turned footballer.
High yellow card count?
From someone who watches a fair bit of MLS I think this is a top singing.
32 starts with NYRB last season for 5 goals and a NT call up. Not used to us signing players in recent form, even an unknown player like this.
I can't work out what position he plays apart from Midfield. Anyone else have any luck? Am assuming Steele plays an attacking role and would slot into RM
"transfer to @ACF_Fiorentina is worth €1million."Quote:

Looking at his youtube vids looks like a left mid. Def a left footer. Looks like hes got really good vision, and finish. Im excited with this signingQuote:

I bet middleby hasn't even watched the world cup... so much for our scouting network.... jets suck....
This post wins at everything, how do you give cred again?Quote:

It seems Steele played mostly on the left. He did well in the MLS at a strong club like NYRB, which is a clear step up from the A-League.
Here are comments from random Red Bulls fans which may either provide insight or be meaningless.
Quote:
Hate to see him leave but he's not at the level he was last season and the roster spot definitely helps the club. Best of luck to him.
Quote:
He had a 130k salary...
Quote:
Sucks to see him leave even if he wasn't great this year. Hopefully he got an offer somewhere else. If we had to pick someone to cut to clear cap room you'd hope he wouldn't be first.
Quote:
His form dropped off a lot.
Quote:
Hate to see him go after having a good season last year. His form did drop....wish him the best
Quote:
Johnny Steeeerele ! Sorry to see him go and his form did drop. Think it is best for all. Guy gave us a fantastic 2013 and is SS winner.
Quote:
He was a very solid contributor last year, and scored the last goal vs Chicago in the Supporters Shield clincher.
This year, he had a good game vs Montreal. That is all.
Quote:
Sad to see Jonny Steele go. A great signing by Roxburgh, we got great value in the year and a bit he was here. We had a player in 2013 that was an automatic choice at leftmid.
This year, Steeles dip in performance mirrored the teams malaise. I'm hoping a new team for Steele and a (hopefully) a new ledtmid for NYRB will help spark a revival.
Thanks Jonny.
Quote:
I have mixed feelings. I really liked his character on the field and his work-ethic. He was a pretty big part of the first Red Bulls team to win a trophy and last year had stints where he was more than serviceable. He has been extremely poor this year however. I wish him the best of luck wherever he goes.
Quote:
I liked Steele but he wasn't playing very well this year. Good luck to him.
Quote:
He had a career year last year and locked the left mid spot down. He did a great job, especially since he was replacing a fan favorite in Lindpere. 2013 everything went right for him.
This year was a drop down from his career best. And with his salary and inconsistency this year, you had to think he was a goner in the off season anyway.
Was a good contributor and a good guy and wish him the best.
One up-side is this dudes name is ripe for chants and different banners. Hopefully he can re-gain the form he had, apparently was amazing on his first season, dropped off in his second
Just what we needed... some Steele in midfield.
Right?
Where will he play though? Unless Steele can play CM or RM it's a strange choice. Hoping he is both right and left footed. Surely Carney didn't recommend someone who can only play in his preferred position.
Maybe Carney or Steele at LB
Foxsports is saying we received 500k upfront for Brilliante with the rest to be add ons. That sounds about right
Most places have him listed him as a generic "midfielder"... wikipedia, soccerway for example. Listed as an "Attacking Midfielder" on transfermarkt with secondary positions of left mid and right mid.Quote:

Hopefully they sign the right ones. Hopefully Stubbins will give these guys a go to prove themselves unlike GVE who signed players and left them on the bench or in the Stands.Quote:
