In general I'm happier to see us sign "prospects" from NPL and academies than late 20's squad level players.
If we're just going to be an average team, at least be an average team giving players a shot who may then have some desire and motivation because of that - rather than this being someone's 4th A-League club and just stopping by for a year or two going through the motions.
Also aren't clubs required to spend a min amount of the cap, 90% or thereabouts ?.Quote:

Agree
I think these guys have come to try an earn A League field time. With this they will be on minimum contracts around $70,000. I don't think anyone would want to sign for apprentice wages of what the scholarship contracts are.Quote:

Will Jenkinson be able to? I have doubts but I'll be watching.
Something else interesting to watch is if Jenkinson will be back here for the match against Victory.
Is he on social media? Has he been posting photos that indicate if he's in Australia or not? It's a long off season to be out here if we lose and don't have any real competitive matches until October.
Competitive matches, Pretty sure the other teams have already banked the points.
Jeez, our squad is uninspiring
I enjoy the number of players off contract this season.
Very little $$ tied up with Ingham, Goodwin and Dowse for 24/25 (bloody hell, talking about 2025….)
Means that fresh start is easier to come by.
Previously I feel like we’ve always had GK or CBs or some vital positions signed for too long.
As was mentioned, I’m happier watching a bunch of NPL prospects than has beens and other clubs’ castaways.
Need to moneyball this club.
I'd like to see him back but how injured is he?
I look forward to seeing him in red and black or sky blue next seasonQuote:

Penha to Western United
Herald saying they are among several clubs interested, we are too poor
Apostolos Stamatelopoulos has been signed
Fantastic news and I am now so excited that a guy who wasn't good enough for us a couple of years ago has returned to be our saviour this year
FMD
How much we paying for the spoon ??
17 Games 1 assist last club
Kind of typifies where the club is at and the financial support the club is being afforded.
When you look at the quality of the squad being assembled they should have just folded the shit show.
I'm sure the members would return if they were treated like gold 380, but they are treated like shit. The management has continued to listen to facebook. If you base the club on facebook, then you better well hope that facebook turns up. Which they won't
I certainly didn't see this move coming. He didn't play great minutes in those 17 minutes. At 24 , I think he has probably made the move for more game time.Quote:

According to Stanton, we are planning on signing a foreign striker and an experienced CB as two of our final 3 signings for the year.
Does anyone know what formation Stanton liked to use during his time as Sydney youth coach? Cause this team doesn't feel suited for your typical 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 that most teams use now and would be better suited to something like a 4-4-2
There was a brief conversation on twitter I saw today where a Jets fan suggested 4-4-2 as the formation with the players we have signed.Quote:

Sydney FC's youth team this year have played 4-4-2 most times I have watched their games, Although that has nothing to do with Stanton.Quote:

Archie (if fit) feeding off a big man could work in a two up top.
Being a young guy he should be playing as a two up top while he developsQuote:

Jets are in talks with signing 31 year old Spanish CB Victor Mongil from Indian League side Kerala Blasters
Jimmy Gardiner has dismissed the link.Quote:

"I'm told by good authority that the @NewcastleJetsFC haven't spoken to Mongil. They have put an offer to a different European defender and are awaiting a reply."
Apparently Kerala Blasters are interested in signing Trent Buhagair
Honestly would be a great thing - get some money for the bloke and then put it towards someone actually competent
If the figure from the blasters is not enough for the Jets then surely we can pass the hat around to help the blasters out and make this happen.Quote:
