Newcastle United Jets 2013/2014 Squad thread

Out of the players off contract across the league, I'd love to see (and I've attempted to be realistic about it) with us:

- Nigel Boogard
- Bruce Djite (but I don't think he is realistic, unless with his PFA ties he wants to be on the East Coast, and wants to help save a struggling team)
- Nick Fitzgerald
- Michael Neill
- Archie Thompson (perhaps not realistic, but maybe so. He's rejected us once because he wanted another year at MV. Maybe they will tell him he's unwanted, but he won't be ready to hang the boots up)
- Rostyn Griffiths
- Jamie Maclaren (seriously, sign this kid. Love him, rate him higher than Gamiero)
- Nebojsa Marinkovic
- Milos Dimitrijevic (man I wish we had our Croatian/Serbian Connection still - thanks a lot Michael Bridges..)
- Corey Gamiero (unlikely)
- Nick Kalmar (ead MFAW)
- Nikita Rukavytsya (dat pace)

What did you misread - did you think I said Griffo and not Gamiero?

You thought I wrote:

?

Trying to be realistic (in so far as hoping that someone a league player might actually come to us).
Boogard
Hamill
Malik
Cameron Watson
Hagi Gligor
Joshua Sotirio

dreams:
Djite
carrusca

Clearly you've been hit in the head with a Frisbee too many times.

**** bringing Djite here.

Can you imagine the shit fight it would be if a PFA Union try hard sees how we run our club up close and personal???

I would include Malik in the dreams column tbh. He is so far above us.

Rostyn Griffiths is a dirty gypo... cant stand the bloke. Does a good job but dont want him here!
Dimitrijevic - No chance. thats one for the big dream category. Way too good for us! Actually pretty much all of those players you listed are too good for us beside maybe Nick Kalmar.

Of those coming off contract this season:
Re-sign:
Celeski
Cooper
Griff
Madaschi
Virgili (only as a squaddie coz hes a Newy boy and wouldn't be on to much)

Release:
Solari
Welsh
Montano
Kew (his time has come to leave. Hes been average this year)
Gallagher
Caravella
Carney (he wants to leave unless he changes his attitude let him do so)

Sign:
Boogard / Hamill
Ferreirra / Dugandzic / Rukavystya (2 of them)
Malik / Rostyn Griffiths / quality foreign central midfielder
Corey Brown & Ramsay. Or other left backs
Georgievski
Duncan (no. 2 keeper maybe if Birraz leaves)
Djite / Gameiro / Boyd / Maclaren (2 of them)
Lo (apparently a real talent but doubt he'll leave WSW)
Foreign central defender
Foreign creative mid

This would leave us with the squad of:
GK: BK, Birraz, (Duncan if Birraz leaves)
RB: Neville, Georgievski
CB: Madaschi, Regan, Hamill / Boogard, Foreign CB
LB: Corey Brown, Ramsay
DM / CM: Kantarovski, Celeski, Pepper, Malik / Rostyn Griffiths / quality foreign central midfielder, Lo (yth)
RM: Virgili, Ferreira
LM: Lundy (yth), Dugandzic, Rukavystya
AM: Barressi (yth), Cooper, Foreigner
ST: Jeronimo, Griff, Djite / Gameiro / Boyd / Maclaren (2 of them)

and I forgot: Stubbins OUT

I think you will find that Georgevski is a LB, and that playing Ramsay at LB is suicide, he's a LW.

You wouldn't keep Montano?

Georgevski is definitely a right back. He's only been shifted out to left back because the other left back options are dross. But he's a better left back than most other left backs in the league, which is a bit sad for the other left backs who are playing in their normal positions.

Montano is here on a loan deal. We would need to re-loan him, buy him, or pray his club terminate his contract.

That's all assuming he would want to stay.

sign a quality and competent coach, and coaching staff to develop, mentor and be in control- must be a experienced overseas candidate
sign up more talented and up and coming youth, on long term deals, from NNSW and all over
quality centre back, with a football brain
quality centre mid, technical and creative
quality striker, agressive poacher
tear up BK contract- Danny Ireland in
like other clubs around the world, develop youth, and sell-
then we become viable business and then a football club

Do you think that is achievable with the current owner?

Hahaha what a joke of an article... Omar Abdulrahman come to A-league? Good luck with that one!

Anyone thinking you are going to get a decent middle eastern player to the a-league is dreaming. The best go to europe, the rest stay home and get a pay day. Why would you move further away from home for less money and no improvement (give or take) on the quality.

These clubs generally dont dominate leagues, but produce the best talent, and are finnacial from sales.
I believe CCM, had a clause in Matty Ryans contract, they recieved a % for FC Brugge transfer, now his value has increased to 3.6 Miil apparenltly, so if they sell him eg to Liverpool, CCM gets 20% of the next transfer fee, which could net then approx $700k to $1mil, after recieving a fee 2 years ago from his 1st sale.

---

I think the only way we will be like one of the clubs you mentioned, is to be bought by them. Ownership by another football club is the future I can see for A-League clubs.

Could this ever work in Newy? Genuine question.
