    Just read the club is close to negotiating Coopers release.

    Wonder if our budget of $240k will stretch to two decent players.

    Quality in the guts of the field is a bigger priority than these two positions


    As for Vujica. Why the hate?? The bloke is 5x The left back Cowburn is
    He can't defend.

    But in saying that, IMO, Cowburn Hoff and Vujica do just fine for very little salary cap. $$$ are better off spent in the middle of the park or upfront.

    Hearing he is free agent. Some would argue it is definitely a position we need strengthening

    The player I would like to see us grab is Giannou from Guangzhou. Australian, not scoring a lot in China and might see his Socceroos chances improve to move away from China. Plus the Ledman link may help

    Why would the Jets want a striker who is not scoring goals ? The there is the fact he gets paid 1.6 million a season. No thanks that's far too much money for not enough end product.

    Adam Sarota is a free agent?

    That's like saying why would the Jets not want an EPL striker who isn't scoring goals. His goal rate in China is on par with Cahill last season and only 26.

    I didn't say it will happen, but if he was willing to take a step down then great.

    Strikers in China are paid big dollars to score regularly and when they don't they get discarded quickly. If you can name a better Australian Striker in a league that we could poach I am all ears

    Stats pfft, only one stat counts...if we had a striker who ran 100 metres a match, touched the ball twice but scored every game I would be satisfied.

    Still the question of the 1.6 million a season. If he can be had for $300k a season then absolutely.
    He's a very good footballer but just not $1.6m a season kind of good.

    Nothing against Hoff or Vujic but I still see them as one dimensional and just a shade short of the class the Jets require to be top four material.
    Totally agree

    Nothing from tonight's NBN News report posted on their website, but apart from mention we are now in the hunt for two players during the window (with Bridge still be touted as a target and Jones not ruling him out despite a comment about needing a player with a good injury history - do weak ankles count?? ), there was a mention of Victory looking forward to doing us over the same way they dealt with the Gyppos, and considering our inability to deal with softer teams like Phoenix it's a bit of a worry we could be in for a hiding if we let the Tards score soft goals like we invited Wello to, it's not like we've been scoring six a game, we struggled to equalise and didn't look like going ahead when we finally did break even, unless it's 90 min of end to end I'm a bit concerned Victory will be a yardstick for us one way or the other, worried it will be the other...

    Us after bigger scalps:

    After watching Victory play the other night we 'should' match up pretty well against them.

    Victory we're very very direct and played hit and hope crosses all night.

    If Jets can handle the press and play through they'll get lots and lots of open space to attack.

    We cannot handle the press end of. Shitney kill us every time with the press.

    Hello to multiple goalkeeper back passes and Long ball to wide receivers who'll whip in a cross if the forwards can be bothered to get there.

    By the way, no one has mentioned it here. Commentators definitely mentioned last game that Ma Lei Lei might be leaving back to China in January. Im also 70% sure something was said about Kokko aswell.
