How is this situation the same as Griffiths?
Montano- Waiting on a Visa to work in Australia. Completely out of the clubs control.
Griffiths- Waiting on a International clearance to transfer from another club, said club hardballing Griffiths so they don't have to pay him out, Griffiths refuse to relinquish money his untitled to so clearance is delayed. Completely out of the clubs control.
it depends on how early they applied for visas, etc.
Yup, completely of the club's control to sign a player from one of the countries that doesn't have an embassy here, ergo making visas very hard to get. It's not as if we haven't already signed a player from Ecuador who had visa issues. Oh wait, there was Zura, wasn't there?
And while I'm glad we did sign him, we know from experience that signing players from Chinese clubs, and indeed Asian clubs in general, is generally very difficult, like Burns not 2 months before we signed Griff. And not unlike Paartalu in the past month.
If you fail to learn the lessons of history, you are doomed to repeat them. Seems very adapt for this club.
Yeah why didn't HSG learn from their obvious previous error, I blame Middleby, its not like a completely different set of club admin were in charge when that occurred last time....Quote:

We will the grand final this year and HSG will announce it as the first time we've made the finals.

You have to remember that most clubs aren't full of spineless imbeciles who let players go at the drop of a hat like our lot.
You want the club to learn from past mistakes, yet you are happy Montano was signed.......that logic makes no sense.Quote:

Pretty confident in saying other clubs around the world can get a visa organised within 5weeks for an Ecuadorian signing.
I am pretty confident when Valencia went to England the clubs had no issue organising one.
It's also called research. A few phone calls are all that is required to clarify the visa requirements and an assessment as to what is required.
Wonder if that has ANYTHING at all to do with there being an Embassy in London and NOT ONE IN AUSTRALIA as has been pointed out in this thread.Quote:

The signing of an Ecuador player to an English club goes through English government embassy's and not Ecuadorian embassy's
Just as this bloke Montana has to apply to Australian authorities for a work permit to come here. Embassy in Santiago Chile deals with it assuming the Jets can't send it through to someone in this country.
The problems got nothing to do with Ecuador at all.
What does it matter? Disappointed Montano wasn't here for the Weston Bears rout or the FFA Cup? As long as he is here in the next 2-4 weeks that's what matters.Quote:

You should be happy that the visa news is out there so you have something else to whinge about in what has been a relatively good news off season
Bloke really needed to ring Ryan Griffiths and learn how to make the sad 'please trade me' sooky face.Quote:

Yeah because this is a problem only Newcastle has.

We're lucky he has that 1 cap for Ecuador otherwise it would be a hell of a lot harder to get him a Visa
Wasn't Griff under contract until the end of December this year with the Chinese mob?Quote:

The world game is saying we'll be signing a midfielder from another australian club in the next 48hrs.

Yeah its hard to work out. No team would want to let go a quality midfielder so bit disappointing.Quote:

Mass would be good.
Syd have alot of DM!! Rhyan Grant maybe. All random guesses though
Edit: Toohey saying we expected to sign celeski this week. Must be playing in vpl. Thats why article said australian club and not aleague club
There you go. So we all knew the answer anywayQuote:

You only have to witness his fawning over Alex Wilkinson in the World Cup thread to see he's changed his spots.
So you hope we sign a Gypo just so I can blow a fuse and you can have a laugh??Quote:

If you want me to have a meltdown we can do that without having a Gypo play for us.
Pick a subject :rof:
Seems like Hoole is in Bali?....Why?
Seems a bit strange to me. Certainly not a good thing to be doing while others are in front of the new coach impressing.Quote:

The Newcastle Jets have appointed former Dutch international Kew Jaliens as the club’s captain for the 2014/15 A-League season.
Jaliens brings his considerable experience to the role, after joining the Jets from the Dutch Eredivisie, where he won the Championship with AZ Alkmaar in 2009, before moving to Polish heavyweights Wisla Krakow, for whom he played in the UEFA Champions League.
The 35-year-old was a key figure for the club during his first season in the Hunter, contributing to six clean sheets in 18 appearances, while also scoring two goals.
Jets head coach Phil Stubbins said Jaliens was the right person to wear the captain’s armband for Newcastle during the 2014/15 campaign.
“The experience Kew has gained playing at the highest level for both club and country makes him a great candidate to captain the Jets this season,” Stubbins said.
“I’m sure Kew will do a fantastic job, along with the other senior players in the group, of leading the squad this coming season.”
Jaliens said he was honoured to be given the privilege of captaining the Newcastle Jets.
“I’m very happy to be given the chance to captain the side this season,” Jaliens said.
“Hopefully I can lead by example with my actions both on and off the field and help guide the team to a successful season.”
Jaliens will captain the Jets for the first time in a competitive match on Tuesday night when they take on Perth Glory in their FFA Cup Round of 32 fixture at Magic Park in Broadmeadow.
Can't believe Griff has been overlooked
