Hey boys, been following the foz for a couple months now. Thought it was time to join in on the discussion. I'll start off by saying if were going to sign Watson, we may as well have well kept Zenon.

Why is it that we always seem to struggle majorly with visa issues for our foreign players?
I would have thought under FFA ownership that we could have pushed these things through easier.
The Herald is reporting that Alivodic might miss out on our preseason training camp, and FFA Cup game, because of it.
OK
Looking like Cam Watson is tied up.

Something has me worried about this Alivodic situation, even by the way the article was mentioning that "Other than Haliti, David Carney and rookies Lundy and Radovan Pavicevic, their front third stocks appear thin."
i dont think they are too confident that he will return. This will be a massive loss, after he picked up fitness last year he was easily one of our most potent attacking players, i was really expecting greater results with a pre-season. However all that may not be possible

I don't see how it can be that difficult tbh. He has played in the country before.
Sydney FC aka Bondi White Eagles aka Serbney FC are signing guys from Serbia and Slovakia left right and centre, and I'm confident their guys won't be blocked by red tape before the season starts.
Like I said earlier, I assumed under FFA ownership that these kind of issues would be extremely less existent. The fact that they aren't says to me that potentially in certain areas we've (ie forum geniuses) been way too harsh on former admin.
OK

**** me. If we lose Alivodic I will seriously lose my shit.
Ditto comments about Zenon and Watson. Zenon is a far superior footballer, and dare I say athlete too.
He either is not keen to come back (Better offer in China / Middle East / Europe) or he has a criminal record in Serbia
Dare to Zlatan

Just a hunch but recall when Alivodic came out and was very supportive of Stubbins in the media? He re-signed when Stubbins was still in charge and may have thought that he would be a key player in the Muppet's plans for next season. The Muppet is shown the door and all of a sudden he realises that he is just another player in the squad fighting for a spot under a totally new coaching set-up. Maybe he has got cold feet and won't be returning!?
Roundabout could be farking infuriating sometimes....
Go jetties
Re Alivodic
Settle the **** down.
He will be here soon enough so stop speculating complete shit as to why he ain't here
It ain't like the Jets have a great record in organising visas international clearances etc
Just business as usual for us.
watson INNewcastle Jets welcome Watson
Newcastle Jets can today confirm that another player has been added to the club’s Hyundai A-League 2015/16 roster, with former Adelaide United utility Cameron Watson having finalised a one-season deal with Scott Miller’s men.
Watson, who started 73 of his 106 apperarances for the Reds during his five-season spell in the city of churches arrived in Newcastle yesterday afternoon and successfully completed his medical with Jets staff.
With the ink now dry on Watson’s contract, Miller said that he is confident that the versatile former FC Porto and VVV Venlo man will prove to be a shrewd acquisition for the club.
“Cameron Watson has accumulated sound A-League experience over the past five years to complement his time developing in Europe when he was younger,” Miller said.
“A clear benefit for us is that Cameron can play not only a midfield role, but also provide cover in the right fullback position. Naturally this adds depth to our squad and will help increase competition for places in the team.”
“We view Cameron as a combative but also clever player who at 28 still has time some of his best years as a professional ahead of him,” Miller concluded.
Watson said that he is pleased to link with his second A-League club, and is excited by the opportunity he has been given with the side from Hunter Stadium.
“It’s a new challenge and a fresh start,” Watson said. “There are exciting times ahead I think with this rebuilding phase of the club.”
“In terms of my style of play, I have always prided myself on getting up and down the field and helping out in defence and attack.”
“Newcastle was always a tough place to come and play while I was with Adelaide, so I am looking forward to helping the team make sure that whenever we play we make our Members proud,” he said.
hope he's not wearing 3.
