in my opinion, good for the bottom line, not good for him (footballing wise), not good for us.
was he really on the socceroos radar though?
Lee/Lawrie/Co have all stated this is the business plan regarding the Jets. Hence the fight over the buyout clause in Hoole's contract. Its a loss to the squad no doubt if he goes. Business wise though the club picked up a transfer fee from Petratos, who is arguably a better player than Nabbout, got him back anyway and now potentially pocketing a significant transfer fee for a player who was bought for peanuts.
Why not good for us? Wasn't he basically anonymous for half of the season? It's not like he's a world beater or anything, he had half a good season and 650k and a squad spot to put towards someone better seems pretty decent business to me.
We're being all ho-hum about this, but it's not even a done deal yet.
In the end, both the club and Andrew need to agree to the deal before it's done.
From a club perspective, I think he'll shine under Merrick. Which could mean his stocks go up further by the end of this season.
Please stay Nabbout
It actually good for us
This time last week Bert basically had two spots to fill
The Sth America 4th rate Brazillian no 10 plus the Chinese Ribery
Now with Kokko and Nabbout most likely out the door it giving him much greater flexibility in spending the cash
Considering Our Caravan Georgevski and Petratos are Jones signings this really given Bert much better chance to sign his type of players
Exactly.
fair points. agree about the anonymity, agree he's not a world beater, and do see the value of the transfer. I do think, however, that he was a good player, was on the improve and at the very least made a very good squad member (although I think he proved over the year that he was good enough to be in the first team).
I guess, ultimately, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. if we get burns now to replace him (or someone equally as good or better), then it is good for us.
Libely?
No doubt brilliant business and we may get someone even better. I just feel for these young guys who leave a season early for promised riches. Nabbout had the chance this season to be something special.
Then again, maybe the Nabbout post Coffs was the "true" Nabbout and he had been worked out.
Definitely won't be Burns.

I am honored that it has become a contract with Sanfrecce Hiroshima which is one of the most successful clubs in Japan and I am able to play for this club.
I will try my best to contribute to the victory by doing my best for the club.
Remarks Nathan Burns will join the team from July 18 (Tue).
What about Harry Novillo. What's he up to these days?
Nabbout is always appreciative of the fans support and he also took the losses hard. Best of luck to him in the UAE if the deal goes through.
Don't miss him too much. He'll be back playing for Sydney FC before the end of the season when everything goes pear-shaped in the Middle East.
So...who will we talk about now?

What are everyone thoughts on Harrison Sawyer coming back? For me he was a better option than Kokko, can run all day, which I think would be something in the last quarter of the match, a cheap backup option to ROD, also a Matt Simon type of player.
Carrusca, Cirio, Vidosic, Milligan all still available still as well. Hopefully 2 good foreigners are signed to fill the wide roles
Good for the club, although there looks like there's way too many zeros in that transfer figure for the Jets.
Good job Gypo and Mr Ernie.
Is Weak Ankles confirmed with WSW yet?
Well, there you go.
