SQUAD FOR 2015/16 SEASON - no Griff, no party

[MFKS]

OK

Just looking at it in the cold light of day now.

Exactly why would Hoole come back here??

He left us not because we were not competitive in offering him a deal.

He left because we are a basketcase of a club that would strangle his career if he hung around.

Why exactly would 6 months later he want to come back and strangle his career again??

It ain't like we have had a massive turnaround. Hell you could argue we are not much better than we were this time last year under Muppet and Tinkler in some ways


I understand he hasn't had the greatest run at Smurfs but why wouldn't he stick around there at least to the end of the season to see if things change for him before wanting to come back to Newy??

It looks lke Arnold doesn't want him so that would be one reason.

Anyone who doesn't want Hoole has deadset got rocks in their heads. You've got idiots in here crying out for a creative player and then turn their nose up at one of the most creative, quick and skilful players in the league.

I was at the City v Sydney game a few weeks back and he absolutely ran rings around their defence all game. He's not getting enough game time at Sydney because they have a very experienced front 3. He's got Socceroo potential.

I'll give you that he is yet to score a goal in the league, but that will come. He's been a bit unlucky at times, but has missed a few sitters.

You don't have Socceroo potential at 22 Parskey - you are a Socceroo at 22. Hoole is not and will be another Kanta / James Brown / Virgilli / Patafta money pit of disappointment for the Jets.

He has no end product and in the position he plays that is crucial. No goals from open play in 58 appearances - that's failure my man. He's barely worth minimum wage let alone what his management will be asking.

If he comes good buy him then but don't waste more time and money hoping he miraculously evolves into a super star

Ah that's right, if you're not playing for the national team by 22 you should just retire.

Worked well if we had that philosophy

Timmy Cahill would never have got a run

He didn't get a run because he had already played as a junior for another country and the rules forbid him playing for Australia.

When the rules were changed in 2004 he had the option of playing for Australia and did so. Immediately.

Nice try.

Nice strawman Parksey. The facts are 58 games no goals in open play from an attacking player. Sorry, that's just not good enough at A-league level let alone talk of him being a Socceroo.

I really hope he turns it around and proves me wrong but it's a long shot at best.

The club needs to find players ready now not players that have a 10% chance in maybe being ready in five years time

[parksey]

mate, he's easily up to a-league standard. he's a consistently good player for sydney, and was our best player last season. he is almost unplayable in this league on his day.

That does not change anything cause at 22 Cahill was still a League One player at Milwall and wouldn't have been picked for the Soccerroos anyway.

It wasn't until 2004 when Milwall made the FA Cup Final he came on the radar for the NT anyway

I think we should just close the forum. Jets far too depressing to talk about..

[riverboy]

At least when griffiths and regan played they played with total commitment.

Nothing left on the park.
Theres just no confidence or belief.

No way ....the foz is a therapeutic tool. Use it "To Let Go"

Fair enough.

[lquiquer]

Watching tonight's game I can't see how Naumoff could help our cause

I thought the point of gifting Carney to Sydney would be to help their cause by giving them a proven player while removing two squad players off their books.

The point is deal goes ahead we end up with a donkey and probably 2

[hawk]

IMO if we cant pitch a side with football talent then we play like Millwall and kick the fk out of any opposition that comes here.

Make them earn the pts. A fortress could almost be earned.

We get our usual loss or draw but it will be worth a watch. bout the only way Ill keep interest

[riverboy]

If carney wants out then we should trade him. Id take naumoff straight out, throw in max burgess. 2 for the future.
