Can only sign for another a-league club if he became a free agent in the January window.Quote:

Jets have removed the post about Ridenton
I’m guessing the comment sectionQuote:

I ain't going down for that guyQuote:

Brown could maybe pass as well. But couldn't run, he made Kanta look like Kante. The rest are absolutely honking.Quote:

Not disagreeing, but he's still better than some others who we have signed in the past and some that are still here. No point celebrating losing one of we keep signing the same thing over and over again. Plus, at least Ridenton didn't have the stench of Gosford on him.Quote:

Where have you been, Bloke has already played 80 plus games for the shirt.Quote:

Am I the only one who thinks Millar was a very good signing?
Yes he provides a lot more on the offensive side, and could be used better (he is now, it seems).
Let's not forget this is the A-league, after all. He could easily be picked by a bigger Aussie club.
I doubt a Rhyan Grant would be picked by any club outside Australia. Just picked a random player, totally unrelated to his horrific haircut.
I certainly respect your opinion. I personally get very frustrated with miller. The way I see it is when he stays wide and uses speed he is a solid a-league player. Alternatively, when he cuts inside and tries to beat players when dribble or makes passes that regularly don't hit one of our players, he looks state league level.Quote:

please leave the Messiah out of this, it wasn't his fault he was way past his best when the Jets went shopping....Quote:

GYPO Miller is actually the victim of being poorly coachedQuote:

With his speed and fitness the guy has the building blocks for a professional career in Europe with a couple of years in the HAL under his belt before a transfer O/S at 21
But no we have a bloke who defensively is State League Level and a bloke whose decision making is disgraceful in attack and at 23 is still a couple of years of solid work from being ready for a tilt at Europe
Just shows how piss poor we are at developing players thanks to our poor coaching levels in Oz
It is the JetsQuote:

The same applies to junior development in Australia which is unaffordable for too many and a nice money spinner for a handful.Quote:

Ridenton will be waiting for the 5 visa thing to go through at season's end.Quote:

But then it makes to sense as to why the news regarding his release is no longer on the clubs websiteQuote:

I would imagine he would have been paid up and free to move on both from a personal and professional perspective. Probs a difficult thing for him to hang around but says a bit about him and the off field qualities any potential club would be looking for in a player. Fair play to him IMO.
How do visa shenanigans work for Kiwis? He isn't working for the Jets anymore, so is he just here holidaying?
He wouldn't have any problem being hereQuote:

Ok, so i want to ask you all.....and please everyone who reads the foz please get involved. Dimi Petratos, now he is good don't get me wrong. But the level he is playing is by no means anywhere near his capability, 1. Do we think needs a new club or 2. Will Robinson (see what i did there) be able to make him a championship winning player again?
