All depends who is available, and who is willing to come to the Jets at the end of the day
If Birraz goes we should get Ochoa
Well lads, after today it is now apparent that the Jan transfer window is not about bolstering our squad in order to make a run for the semis....forget about that now. It is to avoid the dreaded spoon again. We are clearly in a battle now along with the Gypos and Glory for the the spoon. The other 7 will teams will be fighting it out for the top 6.
I'd spend the entire $425k on a playmaker with scoring ability. Get that and it will take a lot of pressure of the rest of the team as we will have more options and hopefully the ability to hold / pass the ball.
Wanting three or more players as Miller has suggested only demonstrates he's now a headless chook running around the paddock.
We need pace up front. I've seen faster teams in o/35s than our current frontline. Leo and sometimes Enver and Trif are quality players, but they're slow. Trif needs someone to play next to him, ala Heskey. Get a pacy forward to partner Trif and play a 442.Quote:

Think we need to have a serious look at Anthony Caceres. Yesterday again highlighted the need for a playmaker that will unlock defences. We look horseshit in our final third. Noted in a SMH article other potential Aussies abroad struggling for game time other then the obvious Taggart was Troisi and Brillante.
I agree. Ive been saying for weeks that he needs someone with pace running off him, similar to heskey/owen... Heskey/fowler etc. he's too isolated up frontQuote:

He actually needs some assistance periodQuote:

95% of the time he gets the ball who is he playing it to anyway??
He ain't quick he ain't the greatest at holding the ball up.
Big question really is why did Millertime spend months looking for a striker and sign a bloke like him which completely goes against the style of play he is inflicting upon us with his cowardly tactics??
Brain dead stupid if you ask me
Why he persists on leaving the bloke isolated and frustrated all game and then has the nerve to hook him and bag him for failing when he is offered little support from his teammates defies belief
Would of been better served keeping montano for a second season.Quote:

I wouldn't mind seeing Nick Kalmar and Caceres show up. I also saw somewhere we were looking at Naumoff aren't we?
Taggart wasn't recalled, Dundee cancelled his and some others loans. I don't think he has much of a chance at Fulham this year, too far off the pace and it's too late in the year to get match-fit for them. We could have a chance of having him for the end of our season. Get him fit for next year.
Glad you caught my guest appearance on the podcast :thumbsup:Quote:

Melbourne City’s David Williams pulls out of Adelaide United swap deal
January 4, 2016
David Davutovic
MELBOURNE City’s swap deal with Adelaide United that would have secured defender Osama Malik is off, with David Williams pulling the pin on the deal.
Williams rejected an 18-month deal from United and now looks set to join struggling Newcastle Jets, who are desperate for attacking reinforcements.
City could make the first signing of the A-League January transfer window, which opens on Tuesday, with keeper Dean Bouzanis set to be unveiled.
Bouzanis is expected to sit on the bench against former club Western Sydney on Saturday at AAMI Park, with Tando Velaphi set to join a Japanese J-League club.
While City is keen to offload Williams and free up salary cap space, Adelaide was only prepared to release Malik if they secured a player in return.
Malik, who has been on the Socceroos radar, remains part of coach Guillermo Amor’s plans as United aim to qualify for the 2016 Asian Champions League.
Former Tottenham and Croatia attacker Niko Kranjcar, 31, is one of many overseas stars available to A-League clubs.
Kranjcar is on the outer at Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kiev after playing 22 games and scoring twice on loan to QPR in the Premier league last season.
Hamburg striker Ivica Olic, who’s scored 20 goals in 104 games for Croatia, is available.
Ronaldinho’s name has been floated to A-League clubs but there appears to be conjecture about his availability and his huge wage demands.
Greek international Giorgios Samaras is available and holds an Australian passport.
Irish striker Andy Keogh, whose contract was central to last season’s salary cap scandal, could make his Perth Glory return in Saturday’s clash with Adelaide United.
Glory officials will hold talks with one of their current visa players, believed to be Dutchman Guyon Fernandez, about paying out his contract to free up a spot.
Despite struggling both Central Coast and Newcastle could be losing key players, with gun attacker Anthony Caceres subject to offers from overseas and rival A-League clubs, while David Carney is on the verge of receiving an offer from the Middle East.
The availability of Socceroo James Troisi is subject to him being released by his Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad, while Fulham is seeking compensation for Olyroos striker Adam Taggart.
Jeez, wouldn't mind Kranjcar.
Replace Carney with Williams... Double Win!
Olic would be better than Kranjcar for me. Can put it in the net efficiently and would do well against HAL defenses. Would be on a lot less money than Kranjcar as well who was on QPR money not long ago.
Could we steal any of Perfs Visa Players? I haven't seen much of Fernandez, is he on Marquee money?
I would be content with David Williams. He has A-League experience and brings speed to our front line. In addition, a bit of experience as well. I'd be happier with him coming on instead of, say, Pavicevic.
I expect an 18 month deal as well.
Williams has speed and doesn't mind pulling the trigger, two things we are lacking.Quote:
