He might not want to and who can blame himQuote:

Bulut released.

Rumour is that Bridge is going back to WSW... no Bridge for us, not that he ever seemed a likely option.
No Bulut, No Bridge, No foreigner..... only donkeys left... Jets :soapbox:
Babal
Bulut can't get a start at a club who's failing to score goals and is currently below the Jets on the ladder.
Bridge wouldn't make any sense for the Jets either. He'd want massive money and doesn't offer anything the Jets need.
A quality right or left back is what the Jets need. Get that shit sorted and it takes the pressure off the players up front leaving them to score goals.
Nothing against Hoff or Vujic but I still see them as one dimensional and just a shade short of the class the Jets require to be top four material.
I remember reading poljak can in february. Not sure why different from la rocca

I wouldn't say left or right back are necessities for us.Quote:

Quality in the guts of the field is a bigger priority than these two positions
As for Vujica. Why the hate?? The bloke is 5x The left back Cowburn is
Cant see why not, he had his child born here, and hes married to an Australian?Quote:

Okay we've re-signed Brown and S.ugar, I would keep Poljak based on recent performances as I think he is now in his peak years (as long as it is at the right price). Can't afford to re-sign Kanta, would be madness to sign a player who is injury-prone year after year.
This is one of our better squads of recent years with a good balance, I don't think we need to make drastic changes to start challenging for top four. We have a few players whose careers are on the rise and others who are in their peak years. We just need a couple who are in that top quality bracket of Berisha, Fornaroli, Castro, Ninkovic and probably another couple the likes of a Brosque, Jakobsen, Isaias, Dimas.
All that depends on whether Mr Lee will open up the purse strings for next season.
what are peoples thoughts on Nobby for next season? he's gettin up there in age and cant play full games, do we keep him next year as an impact sub or do we look elsewhere for a foreign spot?
If we can find someone better then move him on, if not, would be fine if he stayed.Quote:

Lock up both him and Ugabooga man Middleby, good young talent on relatively cheap contracts. ,
Paartalu anyone?
Just read the club is close to negotiating Coopers release.
Wonder if our budget of $240k will stretch to two decent players.
Not exactly what we after and isn't he contracted in Qatar since October?Quote:

Hearing he is free agent. Some would argue it is definitely a position we need strengtheningQuote:

Why would the Jets want a striker who is not scoring goals ? The there is the fact he gets paid 1.6 million a season. No thanks that's far too much money for not enough end product.Quote:

Strikers in China are paid big dollars to score regularly and when they don't they get discarded quickly. If you can name a better Australian Striker in a league that we could poach I am all ears
Can play out wide (looking at Hoole)Quote:

Stats pfft, only one stat counts...if we had a striker who ran 100 metres a match, touched the ball twice but scored every game I would be satisfied.Quote:

Totally agreeQuote:

No NBN so here's some Herald stuff instead:
Us after bigger scalps:

Us after Bridge:

Lowey's summation:
http://www.theherald.com.au/story/43...ssible/?cs=306
After watching Victory play the other night we 'should' match up pretty well against them.
Victory we're very very direct and played hit and hope crosses all night.
If Jets can handle the press and play through they'll get lots and lots of open space to attack.
We cannot handle the press end of. Shitney kill us every time with the press.Quote:

By the way, no one has mentioned it here. Commentators definitely mentioned last game that Ma Lei Lei might be leaving back to China in January. Im also 70% sure something was said about Kokko aswell.
