    By my research he signed for Fulham on June 29th after playing in the final Socceroos game against Spain on June 23rd. He was a Jets player when he went to the World Cup.

    There'd be a thread on it in the forum too.

    I trust you above my failing memory and the Dill's research skills

    This article announces the signing on 24 June 2014, which was the day after our last game against Spain.

    Can't remember if he was still on contract with us or not but hadn't signed with Fulham prior to the World Cup, so the Dill is wrong.

    Would it have killed the Jets twitterbook operator to show Nabbout some love too?

    Definitely should have. He was with us for all of the 2016/17 season + over 2/3rd's of the last one, and scored a fair chunk of our goals in that time to boot.

    That's terrific reward for the club. What a time to have a great season.

    Who pays the clubs? This cash coming from FIFA?

    I didn’t even know it was a thing. But why less than City? Or are FIFA paying a billion to City for the privilege of seeing Arzani?

    I think it's calculated using an autonomous variable multiplied by the number of evades.

    Got to do with duration at club over a certain period of time. Arzani has been at City longer than Dimi or Nabbout with us.

    Being that this is an unexpected bonus i think i.know how the club should spend the 370k


    All 370k should be invested in supplying members with Jet shaped hats

    Make it happen Gypo CEO

    Nope. Behind paywall - https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...c543f668da0f05

    Newcastle Jets = $360,400
    Dimi Petratos $195,400
    Andrew Nabbout $171,000

    A-LEAGUE clubs will reap a minimum $1.53 million World Cup windfall thanks to generous new compensation being paid by FIFA for Russia 2018 participants.

    Melbourne City and Newcastle Jets are the biggest winners under a complex formula, that will land them $440,000 and $360,000 respectively.

    Daniel Arzani’s meteoric rise has proven lucrative for City, who’ll net a staggering $300,000 after Bert van Marwijk picked him in the final 23-man squad.

    It pays off their Arzani investment and then some, with City believed to have spent around $110,000 on the winger – his annual salary has been $47,000 per annum for the past two seasons. His wage rises to almost $140,000 next season.

    City will also receive an unexpected $147,000 for Tim Cahill, with the “Club Benefits Programme”, which rewards World Cup players’ clubs of the past two years.

    The Jets have benefited for van Marwijk’s faith in Dimi Petratos and Andrew Nabbout, netting $196,000 and $170,000 respectively.

    It virtually covers the Jets’ costs, with Petratos and Nabbout – while he was at the club - earning $200,000 and $100,000 per season respectively.

    When Nabbout’s $500,000 transfer is factored in they’ve made a handsome profit, while Japanese club Urawa Red Diamonds will get an instant $120,000 return on their Nabbout investment.

    Sydney FC will receive $253,000 for Matt Jurman ($155,000) and Danny Vukovic ($98,000) while Josh Risdon’s switch to Western Sydney has netted the Wanderers $196,000 – similar to their hitherto outlay for the right-back.

    Despite not having a player at the World Cup, Brisbane Roar are set for a $159,000 boon via former attackers Jamie Maclaren ($98,000) and Petratos ($61,000).

    Melbourne Victory missed out a $270,000-plus bonanza when James Troisi missed the cut, but they’ll still bank $47,000 thanks to former players Mark Milligan ($41,000).

    Josh Risdon (R) gave the Wanderers and Glory a handsome cash injection. Perth Glory’s role in Risdon’s international emergence will be rewarded with a handsome $100,000 cheque.

    Overseas clubs will mainly benefit from the Socceroos’ qualification, with Celtic (Tom Rogic), Bursaspor (Aziz Behich), Luzern (Tomi Juric), Feyenoord (Brad Jones) and QPR (Massimo Luongo) receiving the full $300,000 whack for their players as they’ve been there for the past two years.

    Mile Jedinak (Aston Villa) and Milos Degenek (Yokohama F Marinos) will bank their clubs in excess of $250,000.

    City will cash in on Tim Cahill despite the star’s ugly exit from the club. The total distributions will rise if the Socceroos can advance to the knockout phase, with $11,270 (US$8530) on offer for each player’ club(s) for every extra day they compete at the World Cup beyond the group phase.

    The initial “total per player” amount is multiplied by the number of days each player is at the World Cup, starting two weeks before their opening game.

    FIFA’s US$209 million total distribution has risen substantially from Brazil 2014 (US$70m) and South Africa 2010 (US$40m), when it was introduced.

    Dimi is the gift that keeps on giving.
