seems to me we got Ugarkovic because he wasn't being paid by his old club (he basically got his release in lieu of being paid) - not sure how many other ex-pats we can snare on the same premise...Quote:

Our appeal is not as bad as you make out.
Other clubs will have locked in salary caps where as we should have some cash to spend to entice a couple of these blokes home
It is though imperative Millertime gets the foreigners right
Add in a bit of creativity in balancing our squad better by shipping a few out sign a couple of Aussies from rival sides pick up a couple of Aussies from OS and we are back competing genuinely for the 6

Speaking of imports, the impact of Fornaroli this season has been as big as any import in the 11 seasons of the A League. Technically he is up there with the best but he also has the fighting, mongrel, never-say-die attitude which many Uruguayans have instilled in them. This is why he has adapted well to our fairly physical A League while other technical players have failed.
Our Uruguayan from the first season, Corbo had that mongrel mentality too and would never take a backward step as soon as he crossed that white line.
Reckon it's worth a shot sussing out 1 or 2 Uruguayans for next season, a LB and a striker preferably.
I have been searching Uruguayan strikers off contract or coming off contract on transfermarkt, quite a few that I reckon would be worth a look at. Or if city don't fork out the marquee dollars fornaroli now probably deserves we can always throw a marquee spot at him for next season assuming we end up with wealthy ownersQuote:

I believe he has stated that he doesn't want to talk contracts till the season has finished, which is what, another 3 weeks maximim if City play in the GF.
My understanding was that Miller tried to get Ugarkovic before the start of the season but the contract issue didn't allow for it to happen, so he was coming at the end of his contract (then the release happened and we got him early).Quote:

If he keeps speaking his mind he might get an early release...Quote:

An American consortium headed by Jeff Von Schmauder also remain interested. FFA briefed Jets coaching and office staff last Thursday."
Yes.Quote:

I was thinking it was Mullen who needed to go early, but as the seasons progressed it's clear Boogs needs to be culled, he's not worth being our captain, gets red carded every 3rd game and in general hasn't been playing as well as Mullen. Plus it's fair to believe he's probably on too much coin
we have some rubbish youth on our team which is a low point for us which I think has been rectified by Miller somewhat, signing Jackson, Cowburn, Uga and Kitto who have been our best youth players, and I'd say I'd only keep the ones he's signed as well as Coops
Crowley has left the Jets
http://www.theherald.com.au/story/38...es-jets/?cs=12
I'm not surprised given he hasn't featured in the first team calculations for some weeks. Brennan has moved ahead of him. That said, I thought he had more about him than Pavicevic.
From what I had heard he hadnt been even training with the first team in 3 months.Quote:

Anyway no great loss
Kale was a far superior player and never got a look in
At least a local kid is getting a go and scoring too. Cameron Joice back from the AIS.Quote:

Never played a game for the club in the league (he was on the bench for the week Birraz was injured) but certainly leaves our goal keeping stocks a little thin if the above expected departure occur.
http://www.theherald.com.au/story/38...ictoria/?cs=12
possibly an arrangement might be in place. Let them leave to try there luck and if they play well maybe get them back on trial for the new season?Quote:

We can sign any kid to do same job
Anyway the young kid playing first grade in the NPL is only 16-17
I rate him very much.
I think some of our off-contract players the Jets want to extend should think carefully about the fact under Martin we would become a very secure and potentially one of the wealthiest clubs in the A League before they go jumping ship... ;)
Overseas is his prefferenceQuote:
