Could the club be looking to do a "release trade" with Adelaide, we have a problem at left back and no visa spots available to fix it, perhaps we agreed to release Goodwin for Adelaide to sign, they do the same with Cassio for us to sign.

I think we're out of visa spots Pico. We have Montano, Steele, Flores, Jeronimo and Jaliens.Quote:

I'm surprised to see him go he's played in most games under Stubbins but been inconsistent.
He varied between brilliant and mediocre is his time at Newy so I'm not too upset to see him go as long as we sign a left back
Only problem is we might have a bit of a lack of pace now but I haven't seen Steele play yet
Correct that's why I said no visa spots available which is why I thought of cassio, a left back who can push forward, has worked with stubbins in the past & he got his Aus citizenship last year I believe, so he wouldn't be classed as a visa spot and would help solve the left back position. My only concern would be that he is coming back from a knee injury at the moment.Quote:

Fvck I could go for a coffee that size right now though!! Just had to sit through a 40 minute meeting where the key issues were arguing about if its departmental policy to mix the oil and petrol and put in the fuel tin, or leave them seperate and mix at required time.. God damn..
I just had a 40 minute meeting to tell me how to load up a web page and type some numbers into an input box.Quote:

Instead of continually gutting the squad it is high time Phil got the boys to aim up on the park cause what we have seen so far is actually worse than GVE could do.
Seems like a rather stupid decision to applaud this decision to let Goodwin go when all it has done is mean we are firming to see Galloway start in Rd1
Cheers for steering us back on topic..Quote:

Even though he could very well come back to bite us in the ass, the fact is from what we've seen of him in the trials under Stubbs, he wasn't going to show the potential he has. For us, it is kind of stupid this close to the start of the season to release a guy who started in most every trial game and who was one of our only players who wasn't absolute shit that can play LB, unless releasing him is going to allow us to sign a better player. In saying that though, even though I think we shouldn't have resigned him originally and I'm not upset to see him go, Gallaway and Virgili would have been the first in my mind to get rid of. But, in the end for him it was the right move and if this kid can regain the form of the game he played against Sydney in his debut then we have a future socceroo who is doing what it takes to further his career.

Craig Goodwin’s move to Adelaide opens the door for Erik Paartalu to join Newcastle Jets
Barry Toohey The Daily Telegraph September 08, 2014 6:01PM
FORMER Socceroos midfielder Erik Paartalu is back on the radar of the Newcastle Jets after it was confirmed the club had parted company with Craig Goodwin.
Goodwin was granted a release following an approach from Adelaide United, with the 22-year-old left winger believed to be keen to return to his home town after a mixed couple of seasons in Newcastle.
Jets coach Phil Stubbins said he was disappointed to lose a young player of Goodwin’s potential but admitted it opened the door for the club to strengthen their midfield with the start of the A-League season just five weeks away.
“He’s a kid that’s got potential but going through the maths, we’ve got a lot of left-sided players,” Stubbins said.
“A club has come in for Craig and it frees up a spot for us and we have to strengthen in other areas.
“It’s just been a balancing of the books. It’s disappointing to lose him but it’s about us moving forward as a club and a group.
“We are trying to strengthen the club and we need to bring in a player that’s a substantial acquisition.
“If it’s the player we have our eye on, (and) there’s a couple of them but one at the forefront, if it is all agreed, it will be a great coup for the club.”
Stubbins refused to divulge names but it’s believed the Jets are again chasing Paartalu, the former Brisbane Roar midfielder currently playing in Thailand.
The Jets made a big play for the 28-year-old a few months ago, with Paartalu believed to have agreed to terms.
But at the time, he was still contracted to Thai club Muang Thong and the deal fell through when he failed to gain a release.
There is speculation Newcastle would wait until the January transfer window when Paartalu was out of contract to have another crack, but a deal could be struck with the former Roar premiership-winner before the A-League season kicks off.
Stubbins, in his first season as Jets coach, said his side’s recent trip to Townsville for a pre-season tournament that also featured Sydney FC and Brisbane had given him a good insight into the strengths and weaknesses of his squad.
“Looking at where we stand as a squad, Townsville was a fantastic insight into our strengths and where we are a little bit short,” he said.
“The central midfield area is something we need to really strengthen. It’s well documented we have lost a lot of players from that area.”
Good signing if we get him
What if it's Bresciano?.......

Bresc everytime you watch him play for the NT struts around like he is ADP.
ie never breaks into a jog in defence
Would lose my shit!! Would be great offensively but like the member has stated, bresciano has become a bit pedestrian.Quote:

I agreeQuote:

Just saw that chris herd is available on loan. Known as more of a midfielder than right back. Could he be the one stubbsy is trying to get.
Would be interesting, he was one of the only stand outs for me the other day against the saudi'sQuote:

I'd sign him and play him holding mid
Allan Welsh in.
Anyone knows when Hoole will be back? Is he training at all?
