I am not so sure Jeronimo would be all that expensive. Gombau has been trying to offload him for a while and needs the Visa space. Wouldn't be surprised if a chunk of his salary is covered by AUFC.
So Australian DM speculation
Wilkshire
McKain
Wheelhouse
Lowry
Herd
SarotaQuote:

Wasnt that a rumour a little while ago?Quote:

Like I said in my previous post McKain would be the only realistic option I think considering the $$$ we'd have left.Quote:

My preference would be wilkshere before mckain. Obviously there would be a large difference in wages there but we have marquee spots open so use it.
yeah rate jeronimo
And so they/we should. I'm fine with gamesmanship as far as accentuating contact or making sure the officials know you've been fouled, but it's another thing entirely to invent contact that was never there.Quote:

I'm not sure what kind of wages Wilkshire would actually want. Apparently was on roughly 2m Euros in Russia for the last 3 years (and Russia have a flat 13% tax rate for everyone) so financially he should be pretty set.Quote:

A midfield like this is pretty competitive IMO
----------------Kanta
Jeronimo------------------Steele
----------------Flores
I wouldnt want a DM of lesser quality than Kanta, hoping for an upgrade. Kanta will be a good strong backup.
Jeronimo all but confirmed.
Lol as if you'd boo a diver in your own team. Whinge about it on the forum after they've won the game.
+1
where bread from tuff hear in newi m8
Sounds like they're trying to bait me into buying their shitty merch, never gonna happen (buying the merch not Jeronimo)Quote:

So we are playing a 1-0-0-10.
This would be the first year we've had so many quality attacking players since season 2.Quote:

Well we have been complaining for years about lack of creativity and goals particularly at home games... certainly shouldnt be an issue this year!
That's all well and good, but when we need to park the bus and defend a lead, we'll only have one of those SMART cars…
I think/hope if he stays injury free this will be Kanta's biggest year yet.
The poor kid has only had 11 appearance's in the last 2 seasons due to injury and its easy to forget his still only 22.
GK: Biraz, BK, Solari
RB: Neville, Pepper, Gallaway, Hoole
CB: Jaliens, Madaschi, Regan, Gallagher
LB: Goodwin, Carney, Gallaway, Gallagher
CM: Kanta, Steele, Pepper, Ox, Cooper
RM: Griff, Hoole, Virgili, Baressi
CAM: Flores, Baressi, Ox, Cooper
LM: Carney, Goodwin, Steele, Jeronimo, Lundy
ST: Montano, Jeronimo, Griff
Taken the liberty of including a few more people to potential covering positions.
Add in a quality CM/CDM and I'm so, so confident for this season.
Kanta injury free is more than enough quality and dominance in the middle of the park.
That right there is the reason why we should sign someone instead of relying on him. I think most agree that the kid has got loads of talent, and if he does stay consistently healthy he could be one of our best players. But, when the kid is so injury prone I would rather sign someone else for re-assurance, that way 10 games into the season we aren't left with a mediocre DMQuote:

It is understood 28 year-old Neumann is keen to secure his future, with the Jets offering a multi-year deal.
"It's not the club's policy to stand in the way of a player who can legitimately establish a longer term future elsewhere and this is where we find ourselves in relation to Jeronimo," the Reds source said.
The source insisted, though, that a deal had not yet been fully ratified.
Neumann, who joined Adelaide in August 2012, made an indelible impression at Coopers Stadium, scoring 16 goals in 51 appearances and catching the eye with some superb strikes and an ability to improvise in tight situations.
If the move goes ahead it will be just the latest capture for the Jets, who earlier this week announced the arrival of former Young Socceroos defender Sam Gallagher on a one-year deal.
Former A-League player of the year Marcos Flores, Northern Ireland international Jonny Steele, former Socceroos defender Adrian Madaschi and attacking midfielder Joshua Barresi have also been added to the playing group since Stubbins took the helm.
good to see we have actually used our visa spots on players who are going to start and not fill up squad spots.

Confirmed now
Jeez, its nothing but Adelaide fans blowing up about it on TWG's facey page..Quote:

If this doesnt bring Argy back to Jets games nothing will ffs

In what could be the biggest recruitment coup in the A-League’s short history, Colombian World Cup hero Carlos Valderrama has announced his interest in coaching Newcastle Jets.
This is it for me.Quote:

Sounds like you're saying he's got that point of difference. Are you GVE in disguise? ;-)Quote:

Herald says we have 2 spots left. Im pretty sure its 1 spot left so that leaves the DM position. Dont know why these other players are trailling.Quote:
