2016/17 Squad Thread

I not understand the logic behind Roar not keeping him

Last season and in the ACL he showed a great deal of promise and potential


Aloisi comes in and he can't get a look in.


Wonder what the reasons are for that


I can understand him wanting to come here to get First XI football if his chances at Roar are limited but it beats me as to why Roar released him so readily.

Even if he didn't get a look in this year he would be one for the future particularly with Broich about 35-36


Wonder really why he got let go and are we picking up damaged goods???

You already said it. Aloisi doesn't rate him nearly as highly as Thijssen did.

Brisbane journo highlights an attitude issue. Probably a personality clash with Aloisi.
This issue crops up all the time in football, prepared to give Miller the benefit of the doubt he can sort him out.

Can already hear Harper or Slater saying "Clut needs to pull his finger out and help there"

I thought he was dutch

Have a laugh and take a look at the Squad thread during January. Ugar and Nobby regarded as uninspiring signings by some....Clut first mentioned as well.

I just hope he doesn't go missing. Can be difficult to find at times

If he plays well and we can always find Clut, I reckon we will come first. Knowing the Jets though we'll always be lost and end up closer to the bottom.

I have a Kiwi porn VHS somewhere called "Clut Luckin' Chucks"...

More out than in.

Id like us to make a play for lustica. Strengthen our midfield.
What are the chances we'll release any of cooper,brennan,pavicevic?

Clut trialled with WSW before heading to Brisbane and Poppa didn't sign him because of his attitude problem. WSW saying no to a local lad says a lot to me.

I'd like to try and be optimistic but I don't see Clut being anything other than Mitch Cooper mk2 under Miller.

We have his cousin, he is off contract and we need all the attack minded mids we can get.
would like to see us linked with a leftback soon. Murnane, woodcock, garuccio

Lets just see how bad he is first before we judge....;)

Isn't Abbas of contract? Wouldn't be the worst signing, he was looking good at Sydney before his injury.

Would be someone we'd go for. Coming back from a major reconstruction. Probably due for another. Sign him up.

Heavily linked with a move to the k-league presently

Guys like Ali were good servants but time to move on.

True that, Miller barely gave the bottom of the roster players a go this year, may as well save time and spend more on less and fill out the roster with kids.

4 more players for me should be a ST, CM, LB and a Winger

So do we think that Clut is the A-league player the herald claimed we had signed but wouldn't announce until after the grand final?

The bollocks that gets tossed around on this forum is amazing.

I did not know that. Comment retracted. GVE In.

#BringBackGVE

Clut is a great signing. He was never going to get much of a look in with Broich and henrique at roar. Especially considering broich is marquee and under contract for next year.
We still have 3 foreign spots available. Why dont we follow 2 best A league teams this year and go Spanish. West Sydney and Adelaide have strong Spanish contingents. Good players at good price with spanish financial troubles.

I would let Clut and cooper battle for the no10 shirt. Give 2 young players an oppurtunity. I would look at both a foreign right and left winger. The third foreigner could be someone that could play anywhere in front third.

The defence has been reasonably solid considering most opposition teams dominate possession. A new left back is needed, why not give a young kid a game.

I would be looking to fill all squad positions with gun young players from around Australia that have come out of NYL. Jets youth could push up a player or 2, but Cluts Brisbane Roar team might be worth a look. They finished 2nd in their pool, beat finalists Adelaide by 10 or so in one regular season game.

With Jackson and Clut on board why not add one or two more. Matthew Schmidt is roars youth left back, wont get a run with brown there. Why not look at him?

Archie anyone?

I kind of wish he'd just retire - he is 38 years old after all

going anywhere else won't work particularly well and may ruin his relationship with his current fan base

sucking and extra year out of his legs may hurt his chances of a post playing career as a pundit in the football media (or alternatively as a Fox Sports commentator)

Um signing Archie would be on a par with re-signing Bridges a few years back. Giving a contract to a player +35 years old who can only offer 20 minutes cameos is a total waste of a squad spot.

I reckon the Gypos will make enquiries....if they can sign Garcia, Archie will seem like a bargain.

Sounds like the kind of stupid short sighted thing the Jets would do

I am sold

Archie In

5 5 5

I assume he'd head overseas for a final season.

Never realised Archie was Spanish, get him in. Sign Garcia as well, guaranteed another toilet seat*


*albeit one with stabiliser handles on the sides

Seen a few Roar NYL games, Schmidt's not near a-league level.

True. But if he can show that he has knee problems that should be enough to make him a priority signing.
