While not a direct Lawrie quote, it looks like the remaining two spots coud go to visa players. Does that rule out a move for Nathan Burns?Quote:
The Jets have two places to fill on the their 23-man roster, earmarked for visa players.
“At present we don’t have any spots available,” Jets boss Lawrie McKinna said. “But if anyone is doing well in the local premier league we are keen to bring them in for a look. It might not be for something straight away but there are injury replacements and other opportunities down the track.”
Hopefully it means we are signing Song :thumbsup:Quote:

Vidosic has been released by Seongnam as well.
Nailed on for Adelaide but would go for him.Quote:

This is, of course, my opinion and not a certainty. Once again, kind of obvious I would have thought. Offering "a flipside" is not repeatedly telling some one they have "no idea" or are "naive". If I was posting about whatever shitty car/motorbike parts you are flogging today I would agree that I had no idea, but this I do.Quote:

I love how they are all so polite and have their hands up waiting their turn to ask questions for the new teacher.
Talking to Ernie he said two more players to come, an Asian/Chinese player and a goal scorer a number 10.
He said he spoke to Ozil, but he wont leave Arsenal, but he did admit he hadn't shown him a photo of Nobby's Beach :rof:
Burns and Song. Boom doneQuote:

also, if we tryin to squeeze burns under the cap that'd mean we signing a marquee asian/chinese player then
could do, but I can't see us moving too many of our Jones-unlimitedcontractextension guys on, so I'm thinking we aint getting Burns :(
that just means martin lee isnt giving us enough money for 2 more visa players and a marquee. Poor form lee
nothing to stop us making Burns marquee as wellQuote:

Ok I will cut Moss some slack seeing as he is probably on transit back from Russia after being their with the Kiwis.Quote:
Of the 21 signed, only midfielder Wayne Brown and goalkeeper Glen Moss were not present on Monday.
Brown returns from England later this week and will join the group on July 2.
Dimi Petratos, who only recently left Korean club Ulsan Hyundai, was at Ray Watt Oval but is not due to start training until next week.
But the Scandinavian League Marquee??
Why the **** is he not training??
What sort of Bullshit we running where the players ain't front and centre for first day of training??
I have to agree.Quote:

jeez didn't the bloke just have a kid ffs, probably going back to visit the family you heartless pricks
Just? That was 6 months ago. Why isn't the massive break they had long enough to visit family?Quote:

Poor **** has just had 8 weeks Annual LeaveQuote:

God help the poor bugger if the Jets make the semis and that eats into the poor sods R&R
Memba - blame the management from coach/club level. They're the ones whom allowed it.
If you're working another job with only 4 weeks allowed and are offered a couple extra, I am sure as shit confident you wouldn't decline :rof:
Yep, because this will make or break whether we reach semi-final football. It's not like he may have had an ill family member, issues with flights, or any other number of circumstances that don't fit into your perfect ideal. He may have booked the trip already and Ernie came in and decided to have the players start a week earlier?Quote:

But it this type of bullshit where we again and again show ourselves as amatuers and it shows WHY we constantly Fail
Not one **** at the club expects 100% from each person employed
The she"LL be right mentality exists
True. Players that put family or other commitments before their careers are rarely going to live up to their potential as players. If you want to be the best at something you have to give it all you have and forget about anything else such as family which will only distract you.Quote:

Any player that doesn't get it is having a laugh at the club and the fans.
There are other jobs out there more suitable for people that want to compromise their careers to be with their family / friends.
Nice guys rarely win.
I was actually encouraged by Ernie saying this is the biggest turnout he has had for first week of training in his A-League coaching history (a history which included 2x Premiership/Championship Doubles) tbh :rof::oops:
