Y'all expecting Roy 2.0 to come walking through that door to bang a few away then take a seat when the mad Irishman comes back. Who's gonna do that?
Well said Sir. Any striker who values himself is not going to come here as some plan BQuote:

Competition for places and all that. Pretty much assured half a season as number one. The rest will be dependent on performance.
Not a bad incentive.
yeah im for that as well, but i dunno about you, but the club looks like it signed Virgilli in the hope he becomes the new Nabbout.Quote:

edit: does anyone KNOW the guest player rules? is it even a thing anymore or do we have to wait til Sydney needs one?
Here is your problem with Guest PlayerQuote:

Sort of like McCormack at Heart last year

Problem is with this is if they have intention of selling him etc there is some rule about not playing fgor 3 teams in as yrar or some shit
So a Guest stint isnt exactly an appealing thing for most clubs
cheers.
ok, so what about one of these Ledman patsys from China or Portugal?
cant we get a loan deal for a minute?
It's a good idea in theory but we really lucked out with Nabbout being as good up front as he was for us, most times we won't be getting that lucky.
Picking a young player now makes way more sense to me, if we got Kosta on the books and he's a striker then lets give him a run through pre-season and let him prove he belongs with the club beyond being Dimi's brother. Then go out and sign a winger to replace Nabbout on the left and then when Roy returns he takes up the starting spot again, instead of trying to convince a striker to rock up and play in his natural position for a third of the season and then take a back seat for the last 2 thirds of it
I was exactly thinking of McCormack - I think he would be just ok for what the Jets need. A short stint or even a full season deal.Quote:

A Roy Krishna type player would be ideal, scores a few and can play up front or wide
You guys realise Bitch Nichols is a Free Agent??
Could well solve our issue with Roy being absent and then slot into another role when he is back
2 years ago we would have signed that bloke on a 3 year deal.Quote:

He didnt embarrass himself but he didnt really stand out. Not sure he offered any more than the young guys. He played near full matches in the games that I watched.Quote:

James Gardiner tweeting he has heard of player movement before Jets head off to Spain.
No mention if it is incoming or outgoing movement.
Got any info for us, foti68???
Brown leaving perhaps ?. Please let it be so.
Confirmed.Quote:

Good luck to him. Two good goals but he's struggled since.
Frees up decent cash in the cap as well as a foreigner's spot. BoomQuote:

Hopefully he can be replaced by another more competent player, seems like we’re looking at having a more loaded bench considering most all of our starting XI spots are already filled up
Bring on a Chinese development player😐
Lawrie has stated we're not bringing in any Chinese players.Quote:
