I wouldn't buy any established players from Sydney FC or Melbourne Victory because they simply would not let us have a player of theirs unless the player had some issue / problem.

I'd be happy if they folded the club to be honest. The Jets haven't been on my list of things I give a **** about for a very long time.Quote:

Whilst all true and good points I'd buy a season ticket if they played at no#2 sportsground.Quote:

Also an apt ground name, considering the $hite we have to witness at timesQuote:

The new Jets logo.
I rate vujica for the future. Georgevski is a much more capable player then Hoffman. Cowburn is the worst of them all.Quote:

Wing backs are very underrated in this league.
Much like Kalfalah and I agree he should be a priority. People say he's past his prime but he's been displaced by arguably the best player in the league in Rojas. In my opinion he's still got 2 or so years of good football left. Drama is his daughter loves Melbourne and he's made it known he wants to stay.

I think your mis understanding his point PlagueQuote:

They aint interested in having specialists players
Look at us
Dapuzzo
Pepper
Beard
Thompson
Hoffman
Cowburn
Etc
We always playing some **** out of position
Geogevski on the other hand is a full back

my point is why are we even thinking about that spot when our continued mediocrity in the middle of the park and up front means those wing backs won't change a god damned thing.
I'm with Plague on this. Why pay through the arse for a player that is maybe 30-40% better than what we have in a position that isn't going to transform how we play the game? Georgevski is good left back but not worth the money it will cost us to sign him.Quote:

TBH...we were fine with Hoff at RB and Vujica/Cowby at left.
Why change it weekly?
hows our goals scored ratio going?Quote:

A successful side has fullbacks performing well.
The amount of attacks killed by fullbacks not being able to play is biblical in the HAL
I'm not saying it will transform the way we play. I'm saying we need to make 7/8 quality signings and georgevski would be. Start. Making an improvement right throughout the squad. Each year we make one or two "ok" signings whilst every other squad in the league strengthens much further. Then we all sit back and think we will cruise into the finals. This team needs a decent striker, 10, winger, midfielders, fullback and centre back. Also who says we are paying huge amounts for him?Quote:

Remember we don't have marquee wages to offer people or any money outside of the salary cap. If that starts to happen than this is a different conversation.
"Jets close to signing O'Donovan, Georgevski and Khalfallah"
If im another player in the comp, I may well be thinking to myself, hmmm maybe these guys are starting to try and take things seriously.
For sure. Something will railroad all this.Quote:

But we were in this position for the last few years anyway of paying overs.
Until we at the top and an in demand club we ain't getting the best players coming without over paying for it
Just saw a comment on a story about O'Donavon that the Gypos are in talks with BK.
Which one?Quote:

And the Hunter Mariners were ****ing hopeless so that would fit in.......Quote:

if they were professional they would keep quiet and be working hard behind the scenes to bring results. announcements is what people resonate with not fluff in the papers.
Sorry McKinna, not a very astute businessman
