Interesting signing, too early to pass judgement either way. The fact he's not a big name doesn't really bother me - and I don't really care if he's not a regular goalscorer, either. Regardless of how he turns out, I still think we're playing with fire if we don't sign a decent striker.
who's a shit rumour now furns?Quote:

who cares about his playing record, we signed him on the basis of his personal youtube channel:

take note of how hot his girlfriend is. also consider the marketability of a body such as this:

Not sure wat to expect from this signing, hope his is the exception to gve's recruiting history and that he turns out to be the stylish player we need. A top striker will make the difference to whether we are serious contenders this season. I know I'm getting way ahead of myself but it could potentially be mouthwatering squad in a couple of seasons if it's kept together and Bernardo sticks around.

Once the girlfriend found out that the A-League is played in the Summer and has some great beaches, she would have told him to get her out of this shithole in Albania and move to Newcastle. If you were 22 and had a hot girlfriend like that your answer would be a no-brainer!Quote:

Mitchy, is this you?

this is the man chosen by gve to bring fear to defenders like pascal booschart, patrick zwaansvijk, ben sigmund, etc.
michael thwaite will probably look at this picture and think he's a chewtoy or something.
He's got a touch of the Broich about him in a few of those shots, lets hope that follows him to the football pitch.
^ That's who it is, I was trying to think of who he looked like.
also pv4, obviously you didn't watch him in this video, mad skillz

sign up the fat bloke too while we're at it
is that fat dude maradona?
fat guy doesn't move around much, perfect replacement for jardel.
Shitney will steal the bloke if he isQuote:

so am i right in saying our current squad count is 21, with 4 visa spots used (tiago, ritter, bridges & ribeiro) & the international + australian marquee spots still free? is the allowable visa spots in the league just 5, or is it 4+1asian (why is this rule stuck in my head?)?
Pretty sure the 4 + 1 rule is for asian champions league!Quote:

imo we should just be using the 3+1 rule, just like the acl, so there's no headaches when it comes to squad selection for the acl. is there any real reason we don't use it?
Not enough quality Aus players to fill the squads? NFI, really. There was talk in the last CBA by the PFA to make it 4 Fgn players, wasn't there?Quote:

Pepps is on a senior contract. Thats 22. So if we get a foreign striker that'll be 23 and full squad. Get rid of Galloway to make room for Griff!Quote:

Pretty sure ox was signed to a youth deal & i think Peppz & chapman are two of the three senior min wage deals. Could Gallaway be the third signed under branko or is that duncan?
i know virgilli & gallaway got FULL contracts right at the end of that season when branko went nuts with crazy contracts.
wasn't sure if he was on a youth one still - it clears it all up if he is on a senior contract.Quote:

I am so drunk right now...
Already trialled him a year or two back and he was poo.
Can we have griff yet?
I actually dreamt last night that the Jets were announcing that we had signed Johan Cruyff.. hahahaha..
Lol. Was this after some sort of sunday session?
