Probably train with us for a chunk of the off season but head off before the season starts.Quote:

If he can get one recruit of that calibre and then Tinkler is legit about getting two marquee players in, I don't see why we can't do what you are saying plus what Opinionated is as well. Old blokes like some of them will love coin for 4 half days of training, 27 games in a piss easy league and that's without the bonus of it being a holiday to Australia.Quote:

Getting them for the head and name is what we need and there is some young quality in the squad, above mentioned serbian newly signed korean and this mullen boogard combo would be quality. who knows might even be 4 or 5 wins a season good! that'd be something! imagine that glorious bald head of bresc sliding balls into a langky old goal scoring machine toni or even cisse! the mouth it waters.
Guarantee you Bresciano would be one of the worst signings in the HAL ever. His legs are gone and his legacy will be obliterated by playing in the HAL.
The players are too young and too fast for him these days.
Round 8... isn't that what Tinkler said?Quote:

Why not make it next season if he don't win the first one he is gone
ladies and gentleman, i give you fat ronaldo

the new pitch wouldn't suit him, you'd be able to see his match presence draining away with each minute of game time.Quote:

End of Taylor regan if that's the case. Unless coach fantastic thinks he's a DMQuote:

Kantarovski at 29
13 officially under senior contracts for next season.
Carney, Biraz and possibly Neville can bring it down to 10.
Either way, massive recruitment is needed, anywhere from 10 to 13 players.
I'd rather a younger guy in the mould of Berisha, keogh etc but a their are a few decent names available such as Pierre webo, roman pavlyuchenko, Kevin kuranyi,Alberto gilardino, yakubu, djibril cisse.
Anderson is likely to be out of HAL options so could well be signing for min wage. Was rumoured to following Arnie to SFC but they have 4 CBs either signed or looking to sign.Quote:

Stubbins back 3 of Regan, Mullen and Boogaard with Welsh, Anderson and Gallagher backing them up... oh dearQuote:

Who?
A couple of decent cameos, I liked the directness he showed, got into decent positions.Quote:

Public Service Announcement
MFKS, Kale is at Northern Star on Beaumont if you'd like to fawn over him.
That is all
Think we should make a play for Jamie mclaren. No worldbeater but certainly not a donkey. Frustrated at game time in Perth. Would be pretty cheap. And is fast. Could be taggart 2.0
I agree but he's a Melbourne boy, city have shown interest, I think it's a given he is heading to cityQuote:

In the Tele today
McLaren on the radar big time, possibly a swap kinda deal that would send Neville back to Perth.
Apparently Jets have signed Sydney DEF Themba Muata-Marlow. Big, Tall Youth League CB, has played once for Senior team, Jets are stocking up for 3 at the back it seems.
Also Andy Brennan, 21 yr old from Tasmania, been playing for South Melbourne. Story mentions his YouTube highlight real, so just a classic Jets signing. But has been on trial here for a few weeks.
http://youtu.be/bXVaUK2XMD0
Cowburn, Alivodic and Burgess to be re-signed, no mention of any other returning players.
Stubbins and Co going for a European holiday.
Parents of the u/18 Emerging Jets have written to NNSW to complain about GVE, "handling the complaints in house"
Link? Coupldn't find it on Tele web pageQuote:

How the@#&% is Stubbins going to get another club unless Tinkler buys one-maybe South Cardiff?Quote:
