Need a left back, especially if Goodwin goes, other than that my only wish is for a centre back like madaschi, bosnar or maybe kisnorbo (if he could stay fit) to turn our defence into less of a laughing stock.
Victory have released;
Diogo Ferreira
Spase Dilevski
Tando Velaphi
Sam Gallagher
dilevski would be a handy player to have in the squad
Rumour mill has Matt Simon returning from Korea to sign for Wanderers. He first approached scum and they said not interested so with Kresinger not being re-signed, he seems like the perfect fit to play that donkey role up front.
Jurman confirmed back to Sydney
Labi and Trifiro re-signed for next year with Wanderers
Should we be chasing David Carney in effort to get his career back on track ?
Yus, got our man! Joey Gibbs signs with the Jets!!!!!!!

The Hunter Ports Newcastle Jets have signed striker Joey Gibbs for the 2013/14 A-League season.
Gibbs joins the Jets after making 13 appearances and scoring two goals for A-League Premiers Western Sydney Wanderers during the 2012/13 season.
After coming through the Sydney FC youth team, Gibbs made his senior A-League debut as a substitute for the Sky Blues in the 2009/10 Grand Final against the Melbourne Victory.
The 20-year-old has also previously had stints with New South Wales Premier League Clubs Manly United and Marconi Stallions.
“I’m very excited to have signed with Newcastle,” Gibbs said.
“Newcastle is a football town and I’m looking forward to playing in front of these fans.”
Jets CEO Robbie Middleby said the signing of Gibbs would bolster the Jets’ forward line, which already features former English Premier League strikers Emile Heskey and Michael Bridges as well as Young Socceroo Adam Taggart.
“Joey adds a bit of extra depth to our squad, especially in the attacking third,” Middleby said.
“Although he’s only young, Joey has experience at A-League level from his time spent with Western Sydney Wanderers last season and also from having played in a Grand Final with Sydney FC.
“We’re pleased he has decided to join the Jets and everyone at the Club is looking forward to working with him over the course of the coming season.”
Gibbs said part of the appeal of joining the Jets was the chance to learn from the likes of Heskey and Bridges on a daily basis.
“Some of the boys at this club who play in the position I’m in, such as Heskey, Bridges and players like that, I can learn from them and the experience they have will help me,” Gibbs said.
“I’m 20 years old and everyday at training I’m looking to learn. If I’m surrounded by players like that, with the experience they have, I really think I’ll grow.”
Gibbs will link up with his new teammates at training this week before flying out to Singapore as part of a 10-man Jets squad that will compete in the Singapore Soccer Sixes tournament this weekend.

“It will be good fun and a good opportunity to get to know the boys and know what Gary wants for this season,” Gibbs said.
“Even though it’s a six-a-side tournament, I’m sure we’ll be competing seriously and trying to win, so it should be very enjoyable.”
Not a bad signing, was quite good when he got a run for wanderers, made intelligent runs, good link up play but I do hope this is the last 'inexperienced' signing. Doubt it tho
:rof: when joey was about 14 I told him he'd play for the jets one day. no one, including him, believed me. I is genius
I really don't ****ing care any more
Gary Out
This is a ****ing disgraceful signing. I think the bloke ain't HAL material and we are throwing away a spot on our roster for a bloke that ain't wanted elsewhere. Absolute disgrace that our useless manager isn't showing faith in a Newy lad in Kale to step up but signs some bloke to clog up our NYL team.
The people in charge of our club are dead set ****wits if they are fobbing this off as a signing
Find me the cyanide tablets:bs::banghead::mad:
I agree with MFKS,
It seems like Gary has some weird pride about having young players no matter how average they are.
Sign a known decent player ffs.
seems like a pretty pointless signing. we ditch jesic and replace him with a guy who couldn't get a run ahead of dino kresinger.
is also a gypo.
great day for the club.
Right, so given we have Heskey, Bridges, Virgilli, Goodwin, Taggart, that top creative midfielder we want, a top winger, where the **** does Gibbs fit into this?
Waste of a spot and the new Jesic.
I guess the idea is a Taggart/Gibbs strikeforce when Heskey and Bridges leave at the end of the season.
Time will tell....again.
gibbs :rof:
gve :rof:
jets :oops:
GVE might be trying the reverse of what poppa did with the fringe players we released last year.
GVE, it's the coach that made it work for poppa, not the players.
