Only thing is I would want it to be for more than just till the end of this season, otherwise it's pretty pointless.
so your fine with signing a player on a multi year deal before we even know who is coaching us next year, I think it could create a whole new GVE type affair of not his players, no squad or salary cap to move, does not suit my system etc etc
also as its the end of a world cup cycle I'd like to save some cap & squad spots for visa and marquee spots for any players who might miss out & may be up for a move after the world cup

Just hope he's no longer got that bad habit of ball watching in the dying stages of big games.
Definitely happy to see Carney sign on. We can't rely on youth in every position & considering how shit we've been with FBs, we've instantly rectified a problem area. Well done Jets.
Carney is shit overseas and at international level but is more than adequate(compared to others we have) at a-league level. Although he cops a lot of stick at left back I'd put him there and leave goody up the wing, with kew inside carney there shouldn't be too many errors. He will get caught out getting too far forward and this is where we need kanta who is good at reading who is out of position and slotting in, zads will have to do it in the meantime.
Good passer, powerful shot, and adequate defensive ability - Carney is a brilliant signing for the Jets. He will make a massive difference both in attack and defence.
Yay some actual experience in one of our full-backs.
For the record, never rated Carney highly as LB for our national team but for the Jets is definitely an improvement.
This reminds me of Milligan signing a few years ago. He'll do good for the rest of the season then piss off again
even if he does, he'll bring international experience, will definitely be good for A-League level (he did decent in MLS which is better than A-League) and will be better than Gallaway and may benefit Gallaway by passing on some knowledge.Quote:

goodwin has been better the last 2 weeks but still no where near as good as he was at the start of last year.
seriously don't understand why they don't just play him at LB, he is more than fit enough to get back up and down the field and a player of carneys quality would have him in good positions when he received the ball.
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking!Quote:

I remember how good Carney was at LM/AM for Sydney back in the day. He was terrific.
But I can't help but notice how much lack of playing time/changing of the league/etc made Nathan Burns, who killed the league back in the day, not even convince his own supporters that he was quality this year. So particularly seeing as though Carney is older, has had limited playing time, etc - I'd be giving him runs at LB before "rushing" him into attacking positions.
that was back when the league was really really bad.Quote:
