You must have has your crystal ball out, He's signed for 2 years.Quote:

disappointing if ivan wants out, but can't blame him after the treatment he has had in the last couple of years.
Are you just naming South Americans?Quote:

At least make it fun, like Guiseppe Rossi or Maxi Lopez or something. Lol.
Fans are gonna be so happy when Lachie Jackson is getting skinned at LB all year and Vujica is killing it with WSW or Victory. Ernie can't work out how to play a LB at LB but thinks he can make a Gypo bench warmer into a competent footballer.
Fold the club already. Just cancel the football but keep the bars and ice cream vans open. We can all sit around in Jets shaped hats and actually enjoy ourselves for once.
Ivan is fundamentally too slow to play the style we (Ernie) want to play.
You need someone who can box to box as a LB/RB, to overlap and get back. He gets burned by fast wingers too often.
i know you are reporting these things as facts, but they arent.Quote:

and i know 'you' saw him get burned. I did too. Im just not sure you saw all the other times everyone else got burned too, because i def saw that.
* getting burned by Arzani doesnt count in these stats because Arzani is a Champions League Cup trophy plate winner and winner of the bestest player in the world award several times.
Agreed with plaguesey.Quote:

Nah, I'm with Roundball on this one..
I saw Ivan at Markettown Woolworths the other day and easily burnt past him in the rice/noodle aisle..
Fold the club.
And thats saying something if Bon is burning past you.........Quote:

Marquee is used for nothing more than this purpose now and hasn't for a long time been used for its proper intended purpose. Like most things about our national competition it has become watered down mediocre rubbish.
For sure.Quote:

So Ivan moves on because Jackson will be first choice over a current national U23's player.
I see this season most certainly being the biggest shit show since Stubbins
thing is, Jackson can improve so much more than Ivan can.Quote:

Yeah at CB, He doesnt have the technical or Athletic build for playing fullbackQuote:

So Jackson has been here since the 15/16 season ( happy to be corrected ) is 2 yrs older than Vujica. Just when can we expect to see this blossoming of Jackson at LB materialize ?.Quote:

Big mistake to let the peoples champion leave. Jackson being played out of position isn't good for him or the club.

Should have acquired Jackson instead, he going places as a LB.
we all have to appreciate though that by the time Merrick gets the ass in December the new coach will have his "not my squad" excuse all typed out nice on a sheet to read out at the press conference.
its just good to see that after a few years of sillyness we are finally getting back to the stable shitstorm we are all comfortable with.
I can see Ernie getting Millered before the season even starts.
you'd think they'd photoshop him into at least a green shirt!Quote:

Lots of off-contract players at the end of the season, perfect for the new incoming manager.
except, of course, being the Jets we'll re-sign 80% of them to extensions before we rissole the manager just to clog the toilet for another few seasons.Quote:
