    Would be in a rough spot to lose two starting 11 players in the lead up to the finals

    I'd rather lose players to better leagues than have 23 players no other club wanted.

    Would lose alot of goodwill built in Newcastle though. We need to keep a good team to the end of the season not half way through it.

    If this did happen the reaction would be more terse. Not happening to others.

    Maybe we really have played our grand final.

    The downside to a well performing club and its players.

    Given Dimi is within a short and curly of making it to Russia he would be best looking like a standout week after week here at the Jets as opposed to going elsewhere at this point in time. Same with Nabs, If he does not get game time in the J League he can kiss that opportunity goodbye with his inclusion in this 29 man squad the closest he is going to get.

    We still have Roy, Vargas and Rodriguez to come back and McGree to slot into the midfield.

    I would hate to see Dimi leave, but I think we have cover.

    Unfortunately this will be the way in the a-league until we can compete financially with the other asian leagues.

    im assuming Petratos doesnt have a buy out in his contract though?

    might make this one a bit more sticky.

    Agree with this...right now it is an advantage to be a big fish in a small pond. Fringe players os can drop off the radar. I'll bet if he stayed in Korea and was doing well Dimi wouldnt be in the squad now. BUT...maybe Bert has the Pim attitude about the A-League?

    Dimi tried Korea and came back with his tail between his legs. Jets took him back and he has turned his game around. Just had a baby and the clan is close...might have to re-sign Kosta for the greater good.

    This would not look good to the local bandwagoners who dont understand the economics of football though.

    I think nabbouts high octane approach would benefit the national team. Sure he might not have the consistently or experience of other candidates but his work ethic would be a huge plus.

    I agree with the sentiments. I didn’t think nabbout would go tbh. If the squad was announced before the offer came do you think he would have gone?
    Definitely know he’s getting consistent game time, scoring goals and in form.


    Same applies to Dimi. Wait out the season at least. Make sure you keep playing, performing well.

    Apparently at a coaching session today with Ernie held for the public, he was very clear that Dimi was going nowhere.

    got to keep in mind, apart from no release clause, Dimi has already had a less than happy stint in at a large Asian club feeling homesick etc, he might not be as keen to jump in with his eyes closed this time round (Japan and Korea still have the same issues as far as language barrier and totally different cultures to an Aussie/Euro lifestyle, if Dimi couldn't feel at home in Korea Japan isn't going to be an ideal move either, he may not be interested at this stage of his career in anywhere except perhaps Europe)

    Don’t forget his wife just had a baby and he has family here. It would take an awful lot for him to pack up and move.

    I'm sure he's on decent coin here. Settled in. Wife & kid. No release clause.

    I don't see him moving anywhere until this season, or his contract is up.
