Right then, so Ritter, Jesic, Ribz and Ryan left. I'm assuming Gibbs is a straight swap for Jesic, except for way less money (a squaddie that people will howl about he's not being given any chances), so he'll be on minimal wages.
So that leaves 3 places, definitely 2 international spots (maybe 3) and an Australian Marquee. There should be plenty in the kitty to make a splash.
We still need a CB, a #10, and a top winger. Doesn't leave the club much room, especially if for some ****ing reason we sign Musualik (Zad, Koala, Pepper, Regan, Oxborrow, Chapz, Kanta all can play in the same spot). The next signings have to be top class, otherwise its another season of mediocrity.
Duncan has also left so that would be another spot available
we'll sign Stu, GVE will then play him as a CB, then relegate him to the bench and eventually the youth team.
Just wish they would splash the cash for Bosnar, can defend, plays out, is experienced, Aus marquee material.. maybe, can take a free kick (wow what will that be like having some actual danger around the box). I'm sure we'll get all that from some random bloke who we eventually want to scrap after 12 months anyway, he'll be our "x factor". At least with bosnar we could have some fire works between him and GVE when the season inevitably goes to shit, would at least keep the Herald and foz ticking over in these dark days.
Just think how it would be being a local lad in the youth team and how you would feel every time this club signs another young player for the senior team!!!
This whole "connecting with the local community" is a farce. From the moment last year about 12 months ago when Oxborrow and Cooper were signed on "apprentice" contracts for the Senior squad instead of the likes of locals like Hoole and Bradbury, to the bringing in of Sydney boys like Ilic (he's gone now), Pavicevic, Pepper etc. in preference to our lads coming through NSWIS and local clubs it's obvious that what the club says and what it actually does are two completely different things.
Don't think he was on a senior contract though, part of the reason he left?Quote:

Duncan was on the apprenticeship deal. He left to be a number 2 keeper as opposed to number 3
Pepper was a Merewether Junior - his Dad was Vice President for a number of years.
Not talking about Jacob Pepper, I'm referring to young Nick Pepper.Quote:

Gibbs is a great pickup. Will fit in nicely too.
Kewell released by Al-Gharrafa. We could sign him and play him on the wing
I think we may be one of few options for kewell now, not sure how I'd feel about his signing if it were to be
Simon to gypos confirmed.
Carle back to sydney confirmed.
crickets heard in newcastle...
notr true, we signed that Gibbs kid. Good Engines can run up and down hills and around fields all day. can pass backwards as well.Quote:

He'd be the blonde Mitchell.
Sign Spira FFS.
Middleby OUT.
Miller signed for Brisbane!?!? Oh FFS!! There goes Gary's "experienced" player.
We'll probably re-sign Jobe...
And agree- sign Spira and for the sake of it i'd get Kewell too - only way we'll reach our members target is if we do. Or stuff Gary off. Or both
I cannot find anything online that's says miller has signed with Brisbane. Plenty linking the two together but nothing seems to be done!
Miller is confirmed. Spirra would be a good signing
You are dead set taking the piss about passing backwards.Quote:

Passing back is essential under GVE's system. FFS Birraz gets more touches than our midfield combined
it's ****ing amazing isn't it
total fuutball.
Bridgy been spending a fair bit of time with Adam griff lately, played out on twitter, would rather not see him back in a jets team again
Stay off twitter
Trying to flog off some his T-Shirts. Wants Bridges to sell them in his restaurant i'll betQuote:

Couldn't find confirmation on miller signing for roar only interest. But will take your word for it. So sad knowing there's clubs like the roar with creative mids coming out their assholes and here we sit..
If we could have Esky,Bridgey,Harry and talk Becks out of retirement, we could drag the average age of the squad up to 22
Wanderers have signed Juric from Adelaide for two seasons
Halloran is off to Germany
