Ah but many come on here and the Herald and complain when there is silence. They can't win.
Lee said at the start it would be a prudent first season. This off season will be telling.

The only people who complain about 'silence' from the Herald are the same dopes that believe the stuff they write anyway.Quote:

There's prudent then there's neglectful. A sign of intent in first season would have gone a long way to allaying fan concerns and made the club a more attractive proposition for future signings. Instead, team is horrible, half of them are gone or going and even if he does throw more money at the side, we'll have another season of mediocrity on the back of the huge turnover we're going to have.Quote:

Time will tell
Don't worry they will tell us they have all this intent to spend money and sign players but then follow it with something along the lines of "but they have to be the right fit for our team" and we all know what that means!
Our Chinese assistant coach is the make or break here, his more then a cone collector, I'd say he has a direct line to the Ledmans office supplying more information then how nice our beaches are, I say he has a list of needs and wants as long as my arm
Gardiner is on twitter today saying that our interest has cooled on Thwaite.
Probably the other way around after seeing the defensive display the last 2 weeks...
Don't tell me it's another publicly named bloke who we are 'trying' to convince our fans we are after only to have it amount to nothing?Quote:

I'll wait for 'respected journalist' Ray before blindly nodding along.
Terry Venables and Stan Collymore probably got in his ear.Quote:

So he's coming here. The famed Newy lifestyle will triumph on the family front.
I can't wait. He'll be almost as good as Hoole.
How long is Brandan going to be out and is he signed for next year? Watch City come in for himQuote:

At least give us something to do until we just resign pretty much everyone who's off contract here again and replace our visa players with unknown imports?
Who would people prefer out of Kalfallah and Bonevacia?
Why not both?
Ones a winger predominantly and the other a cm/amQuote:

Dont leave much room
Considering getting these positions right or closer to right than we normally do can see us bridge the great divide i struggling to understand what the hurry is to get these blokes sortec
to make it more confusing, mckinna only mentioned next january window when asked about getting a chilean on loan from that club.Quote:

I've got concerns from reading the Sunday Tele that the Chinese player will come from Shenzen (ledman's Chinese 2nd div club) and a Chilean fringe player. They don't sound like first teamers to me - which is what we need.
Not that the Chileans cant play football i just worry the culture shock from Santiago to Newy.Quote:

I more worried about the blokes ability to settle in Newy and it aint like our club be good at helping the player settle in much
That also being said these agreement things between clubs what are they really??
The Gypos have arrangements with Everton Sheff Utd Sao Paulo and Ferencvarcos
Really getting **** all out of it arent they??
Bring back Nicki Carle....Sorted :lulzturtle:Quote:

Oh, someone already posted that sh|t.
Loving the Facebook comments on the Georgievski signing.
All the usual "I'm not renewing next year unless you sign a marquee" shite, and then there's one dimwit who expected $5 million in signings in the last 4 days who says the signing isn't good enough
lets assume all our players were coming off contract come next season, who would people on here actually keep?
Kennedy - dont keep
Mullen - dont keep
Hoff - dont keep
Boogs - dont keep
Kanta - dont keep
Ugarkovic - keep
Hoole - dont keep
Poljak - dont keep
kokko - dont keep
brown - dont keep
Labi - dont keep
Sawyer - dont keep
Vujica - keep
Nabbout - keep
Cowburn - keep
Lei Lei - dont keep
Nobby - keep
Duncan - keep
Alessi - keep
Jackson - keep
Clut - keep
brymora - dont keep
de godoy - dont keep
Johny K - keep
allwright - dont keep
moric - dont keep
Arcaba - keep
Hoff, Duncan,Cowburn Ugar,Labi,Clut,vuijca thats it only ones who look like their putting in maximum effort every week minus clut and vujica who we havent seen enough offQuote:

Jackson? no, no and no and useless, no
Id keep Hoff, Duncan, Ugar, Vujica, Nabbout, Cowburn, Johnny K
Nordstrand Keep??Quote:

You think being as shit as we are we can carry him??
What the **** is also with this love in for Clut?
The bloke is the new Kaz Patafta. Far too small for professional football and his skill set is not good enough.
Move on
As for Vujica what also is the love in with him.?? He ain't quick and he has a shit load to learn. There was nothing shown that says he is close to being anything other than a project player who may one day make it. We don't need to be signing blokes in case.
If you put Nobby around competent players and use him as an impact sub you'd know how good he could beQuote:

he played a couple games this season and would definitely be worth keeping based off those performances
Nordstrand as an impact sub??Quote:

That ain't going to change.
We had a choice last year whether he done enough to get a new deal or not.
We gambled and re signed him.
In hindsight it has not paid off.
Based on that it is time to cut losses and move on.
As for wasting a foreigner spot on a bench player you should get a Job at the Jets. With wastefulness like that you will fit right in
As for Clut a couple of good touches do not make it. If he was any good he would be constantly involved in games. He isn't. He is just a peripheral player
Other thing to note Brisbane play good football . They need to regenerate their aging team. If he was any good they would never have let him leave. They did. Ask yourself WHY??
Adelaide 'wasted' a foreign spot on pablo sanchez in there league winning season and he contributed 8 goals being used mostly as an impact sub. He was also same age as Nobby is now
that comes down to how you rate Jones squad selection, i would think a lot of people would like to see clut given more chances on the pitch, same as vujica as opposed to runnin someone like johnny k or hoff at the left back position
I don't think it matters what age Nordstrand is. His legs are shot.Quote:

Neither was Henrique either when he at the Roar.
Difference is both these two were playing in very good sides who were winning with out the super sub most weeks.
We ain't
Nordstrand has started most weeks and has what 3 ****ing goals.
Bloke has butchered more than that.
End of the day I remember talking to Jeterpool prior to Coast away last season about whether we should sign the bloke.
We were both on the fence. He scores 2 goals and gets a new deal
In hindsight it the wrong call. There were signs there last season he deliver what he has this season
Miller just didn't see it and left us holding the can
Or his form suffered once a new manager came in. But I know which option you'll pick.Quote:

If you'd said he has no killer instinct to shoot or that he shouldn't be sitting up front as a sole striker (which is Jones' fault), I could not agree more.
