Elrich probably falls into that but more because the system GVE was trying to build was awful, not because Elrich was completely incapable of playing that general brand of football as shown last year.

Was Takka ever dropped? Maybe my mind is deceiving me but I remember Takka being a regular starter and GVE sending him text messages saying what a good player he was. I always thought he was punted because of the coin he was on and a perceived inability to play GVE's new system he wanted to adopt. There is nothing wrong with a new coach wanting players that suit their style of play and doesn't mean the player is suddenly crap, otherwise we wouldn't have Jeronimo

As feared, the Jets can confirm @joshbarresi tore his right ACL in our match vs @juventusfcen and will require a knee reconstruction #NTUA

Putting "#NTUA" on a post about tearing an ACL seems a bit much don't you think, club?

It's standard on their tweets nowadays. At least it shows a small connection with supporters and appreciation for the club anthem.
No one can really win with you eh Member?

Sorry, I'm fairly in the 'Tarek not shit' camp. My whole argument on the bloke is based on Foz Members ripping the bloke to shreds blaming him for the majority of our woes (a torch which has now been passed to BK).
You are 100% right in your post. But back in the day certain people didn't see it that way.
I gave up a long long time ago trying to understand what the **** GVE was trying to achieve.

Well there is now a squad position available, Oxborrow has left the Jets effective immediately.

Baccus to be signed now for sure

NEWS | The Newcastle Jets have parted ways with midfielder Mitch Oxborrow, who will return to Perth in order to attend to personal matters and be with his family.

With Barresi gone for the season would you guys be happy to sign Ward? He is an attacking midfielder that could cover RM as well.

No it doesn't it sounds more like he has been sacked

If it was for something like that it would be some break or personal issue to deal with and he would be still employed by the Jets.


Remember Taggz was let go back to Perth for some personal stuff but the club didn't part ways with him.


You would have to be rather callous ****s to stop employing someone due to having a sick family member

I am doubting homesick.

Had been in Newy for 2 years and was based at the AIS before that so it ain't like he just left mum and dad and wants to go home

I hate losing players to other clubs but lets hope Perth can fit him in somewhere. He seems like he has plenty of potential and being involved with an A-league club is what he needs.

With Ox leaving we 100% have 1 spot left. Paves the way nicely for paartalu to sign as aussie marquee in january.
Ox salary prob min wage $45k plus barresi guessing maybe $70k can now be combined to get a replacement for Barresi.

You are off your head Member...

"The Newcastle Jets will provide ongoing support to Mitch through this time."

shame he got injured. I was looking forward to seeing him play

Maybe it's none of our business and we should just leave it alone.

i'll do some digging

Agree. Let the bloke have some semblance of a private life FFS

Just cause they are offering support doesn't mean much.
Could be something like a alcohol issue or something like that where the club has to part company but has some duty of care to not abandon the kid

The bloke played the other night V Juve so he was in the periphery of Stubbins plans at the minimum.

If this was some type of issue like depression or something like that you don't part company.
If this was some type of issue like family member unwell you don't part company.

You let the kid go deal with the issue for as long as it takes and welcome them back with open arms when it is resolved.

Something rather odd that doesn't add up about this.

Also as the bloke was on a Yoof contract we have to either promote a Yoof player to the HAL squad or sign a new Yoof player from outside the current Yoof squad anyway

Would Lundy, Cooper and Solari not be the 3 youth contracted players?

It would be good to know who is on a NYL contract and who are the 3 u21 senior contracted players as for my understanding they have to have 3 u 21 players in the squad of 23 and allowed 3 NYL full time players on top of the 23 which do not effect the salary cap.

Or it could actually be a personal issue or something with his family and strongly feels the need to be back in Perth for the foreseeable future to support his family and wants some privacy, and rather than tying up a squad spot they player and club part ways, contractually. Maybe there's been an unexpected death, or someone's been diagnosed with terminal cancer, who the **** knows? Not me, not you, but let's not go down the path of jumping to conclusions and defaming the bloke by bringing up alcohol or suggesting the situation is not all that the press release has said.

I am calling an end to this ridiculous speculation. If he wanted it public why he had been released, it would have been made public.
So cease and desist the defamatory crap.

So back to business. Best wishes and a bright future for Mitch. Thanks to gve and company we have a number of young developing players in the system. Question is will the Jets spend the money, or rely on youth team players to fill the void ?

How is Mitch Cooper doing these days? Is he back in full training?

100% correct.

We should get in a short term injury waiver (or guest) to fill the gap until Christmas, then get Paartalu on board as same the rest of the season.

Then offer Paartalu a new full contract for next season.

So by my count we had 1 spot left before baressi's injury and oxborrow's unfortunate departure. Surely that would mean atleast 2, if not 3 spots left depending on who was on youth contracts. Save one for paartalu in January but surely we can replace baressi or ox with baccus who is rumoured to have impressed on trial
