Too late. One started about 6 seconds after he was announced as coach.Quote:

I think in a few years, we'll look back at Paartalu as the best player we never had at this club...Quote:

Not only that he single handedly has sabotaged Liverpool's season by taking Middleby/Palmer anywhere near them.
That was a mirror in the bathroom MFKS. You were talking to yourself....Quote:

NEWCASTLE Jets are back to square one in their search for a central midfielder after No.1 target Erik Paartalu signed a four-year deal with A-League rivals Melbourne City yesterday.
Paartalu is in the later stages of a lucrative deal at Thai club Muangthong United and had been in talks with the Jets for months.
‘‘We put a decent offer on the table for him but Melbourne City have come in over the top,’’ Jets coach Phil Stubbins said.
‘‘The deal is for four years, which is a long contract in the A-League.
‘‘We were a little loath to get over-committed to one player.
‘‘There are others out there we had struck up initial relationships with before making a play for Erik.
‘‘We will cast the net and start again.’’
The Jets released Craig Goodwin to Adelaide United to create space in the salary cap for Paartalu.
‘‘We don’t have the luxury of using Australian and under-23 marquee spot that someone like Melbourne City do,’’ Stubbins said.
On the back of Paartalu’s knock back, Billy Celeski will have surgery on his groin tomorrow, leaving the Jets midfield stocks thin.
Former skipper Jobe Wheelhouse starred for Lambton Jaffas in their 2-0 win over Weston in the Northern NSW National Premier League grand final on Sunday but Stubbins said the 29-year-old midfielder was not an option at this stage.
Jets management are in England for a series of meetings with potential buyers of the club.
However, Stubbins did not believe the uncertainty surrounding the ownership would have a direct impact on contract talks.
Adelaide 20-year-old Allan Welsh arrived in Newcastle yesterday after guiding Croydon Kings to a premiership in the South Australian National Premier League.
‘‘He is buoyed by his victory and we might try him as a No.6.’’
With Ben Kantarovski suspended after receiving two yellow cards in the 2-1 win over Wellington, Jacob Pepper and Taylor Regan are likely to team up in midfield against the Mariners in Mudgee on Saturday.
Stubbins had to cancel another hit-out for fringe players against their neighbours tomorrow due to a lack of numbers.
On a positive note, Marcos Flores has pulled up well from his first game in ninemonths and is hungry for more.
Flores played 25minutes off the bench and set up the match winner for James Virgili in the 2-1 win over Wellington.
‘‘My knee reacted really well, so I’m really happy and buzzing to have played my first 20minutes of football,’’ Flores said.
It was the Argentinian’s first outing since he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in January when contracted to the Mariners.
‘‘I was really nervous, to be honest,’’ Flores said.
‘‘I want to apologise for my first few touches. I made many mistakes but I will not apologise for me trying.
‘‘I’m not afraid to make mistakes. I said to Chille [Virgili] 1000 times, I will play forward.
‘‘We spoke about that play 10 seconds before.
‘‘It was not the ball, it was his run.
‘‘I expect them to score goals and they expect me to set them up for them.’’
The Jets kick off their A-League campaign against the Mariners in Gosford on October 11 and Flores aims to be there.
The clash against the Mariners in Mudgee will be Flores’s first against his former club.
Same old jets.... why do we do this to ourselves!

Gets rid of Goodwin for Portaloo, don't sign Portaloo
Gets rid of coaching staff for Arnold, don't sign Armold.
Note the theme here?
Bridges is plotting to be player coach.Quote:

It is really quite embarassing that Paartalu has gone to Heart, Celeski has signed but probably wont play a minute for us and our heads of club are living it up in Europe...
Am i allowed to get my membership back?
