Glad to see Miller is persisting in his vision and trying to get a squad of 20 Defensive midfielders 1 striker and 2 keepers on the books.
Exactly why after signing the bloke the other day are we still looking for midfielders??
How about someone out wide so that Alividoic bloke who is playing like a busted arsehole can be dropped??
Or a striker who actually aint a lazy **** and can score goals??
Or a No 10 who plays games more than 1 in 4??
Or better yet someone so we can **** Carney off to the Arabian Desert ??
Let the hate flow through you... Also, I can't really argue with any of thatQuote:

Always, ALWAYS, read the Members posts at least 4 times before replying. There's sometimes some very nice jabs in there, but of course if it's still mindless dribble after 4 goes then yeah, whack away because he's probably being a crazy person.
That's disappointing. I wonder if the player is keen whether he or his agent can put pressure on the Roar?Quote:

We have Cooper and Baressi and we don't use them for whatever reason, deciding instead to play a winger out of position. That could discourage them.

Make it happen FFA.

Need to go for himQuote:

Another article on Fox suggested possible asian targets etc. One was Younis Mahmoud Iraqi captain who showed large interest in a move down under at the Asia cup. Was a shining light in their team and was easily still cutting it at 32. Proven goal scorer on the international stage.
32, used to score goals. Probably injury prone, sounds like someone we'd go for.Quote:

He CAN play, or could play 4-5 months ago? Could be on the down hill slope. Perfect for us.Quote:

Far too early for us to sign him. There is still the possibility we could get some value from him
His Wiki page, which is totally reliable... says he only played AFC games at his last club cause he didn't want to play against his former team in the league. He may be unfit then. Perfect for us.
I found this interesting list, i wonder if we could attract any of these guys with the prospect of more international coverage and better lifestyle outside of football?

It's against Jets policy to play anyone in their natural position.Quote:

Go Jets!
The bloke was class at the Asia cupQuote:

To me these decisions aren't based on a desperate urgency to address the immediate fact that we basically can't score goals. I think if you asked any Jets supporter, 95% would say our priorities are a striker and a #10, as these are 2 positions which are so critical to a teams potency in front of goal and the lack of depth and quality in these 2 positions is easily the worst in the whole A League.Quote:

#Iran captain Andranik Teymourian has left #QSL side Umm Salal by mutual consent
Benny O on the Twitter "Good player. ⚽️"
But does he play Defensive Mid?
Wikipedia, the source of all knowledge, has him signed for 4 months wiht Qatar SC.
Why haven't we signed John Arne yet? Farken Jerks
Shane smeltz sounds out of favour, thoughts?
Kick the Jets into shape and use an early exit clause to go back home and play for Nix.
Yes, been happening for years now, especially in the Youth team. Been well documented with Hoole and Cowburn and many who follow our Youth team know of Pappas (now with Mariners), who was played mainly at RB and CB in his time but he was a CM prior to coming to the Jets.Quote:

Could basically play anywhere in the front third, out wide or centrally and even deeper as a #8.
This kid came to the Jets Youth at 16 as a rough diamond with the potential to develop into one of or best attacking players with the right coaching and people with the knowledge and know-how to get him up to the next level. Likes of Pascoe and GVE convert him to a LB where he has "developed" for the past 3 years and it's a shame we will never find out how good this kid could have been.
Didn't realise this but quietly it seems Bridgey has left these shores for good....Quote:

I hope people now realise that he always was in it for himself (which really is his own perogative). I think his goal here in Newy was to eventually be the head coach but I think in the end he had his fingers in "too many pies" so to speak and I think a lot of people were starting to find out his true character which was quite different from the one portrayed by his buddies in the media. Newcastle Jets Legend....pffttt!Quote:

Apparently we were after Lustica as well as Clut. Not exactly sure if this was prior to signing Urgakovic or in the past few days. If after signing Urgakovic they are pursuing Lustica then can only assume maybe someone (Watson?) is going to be released or they have no farken clue!!!
I don't see us keeping nearly any of our attacking mids come next season. Leonardo is injured too much, no coach would keep a player who can't keep his fitness up. Baressi still hasn't got a run in the one and a half seasons he's been here and there's no signs of that changing. Cooper hardly gets a run as is, wouldn't be surprised to see him leave before his contract is up, which even with Clut on the books would be a big mistake. Kitto is playing out of position so shouldn't even be considered here but he's been terrible at attacking mid and got shafted at half time last game so I don't see his run in that position lasting too much longer. Essentially, by the time we get Clut I'd say we won't really have anyone to contend with him.Quote:
