    We don't have a lot of options centrally. Squad space is the issue from our end. His desire to play more than a back up could be barrier at his end.

    Joey for striker.
    Hoff stays upfield.
    Johnny K gets more game time.
    Ivan can plug holes.


    Roy can have a few games off next year we still good.


    Don't waste spots and cash on Gamerio.

    I don't think you can classify Joey as a back up striker. Being an attacking player who can score goals doesn't make you a striker.

    We absolutely need a good young striker. But we shouldn't be looking for a back up, we should be looking for someone to fight Roy for a position.

    An argument can be made that Nabbout was just as effective up front this year as Roy was.

    Wasting spots and cash on benchwarmers in case of a Roy injury/suspension takes us back to the BK/Biraz days.

    Ernie ain't playing that game.

    I tend to agree with LRO.. I think Nabbout did a fine job up front, and he did pick up the role well. I think when Joey has played up front he has really struggled, and with Nabbout gone I would definitely be up for having another player capable of stepping into Roy's shoes if needs be. Whether that's a backup striker or a winger who can play up top as well.

    I really beleive that as well - you sit through the bad stuff and it makes you appreciate the good even more but never, ever do you leave them.

    Coaches, Administrators and players will come and go - the fans are the one constant.

    It was a nice story to do

    Never leave your team! I remember sitting there on a hot Sunday afternoon probably 6 years ago watching us lose to Perth Glory 4-0 and the crowd was maybe 4,000.

    I have thought it many times over the year “why do I do this?” answer is always the same. I love this team and what else would I be doing?
    After 13 years as a member and 10 or so lean ones, I cannot explain this feeling! I’m not nervous yet as I still don’t quite believe it!

    with only two roster spots left, getting a back-up striker is really dependent I feel on how you fill up the other attacking roles. Assuming we don't keep ronny and pato on, you've got Dimi & Roy as our two consistent starters in the front third. If you feel one of Hoff or Champness are capable of being starting XI from the jump, then you fill the other spot with a marquee and get a back-up striker who can fill in for roy. However, if you don't view them as starters and feel we need two more spots in the front, then you sign two starting wingers, maybe one of them can be a back-up striker if need me similar to nabbs, or you let one of hoff or champness try and be a striker

    And that arguement would be pretty successful but if im not mistaken Nabbout now plays in Japan and Champness is not Nabbout?

    I tend to think of my relationship with the Jets as 'friends with benefits'.

    When I'm in the mood for some, I give them a call and come over.
    If they are having 'that time of the season' then forget it, I've got better things to do.

    Last Friday night was an awesome booty call.

    Yeah but Nabbout wasnt Roy either and things worked out ok.

    Does the club believe in that Thurgate dude?
    Never really seen him play, he might be all we need yeah?

    Im confused!
    All i meant was being an attacking player doesnt make you a striker. Some guys can play wide and as a 9. Nabbout was excellent as both and thats a luxury. Champness doesnt seem as good centrally and so we do lack depth in there

    Joey became the new Nabbout when Nabbout became the new Roy who then became the new Nabbout making Nabbout the new Joey forcing Joey to become the new Hoffman who became the new Pato until Roy became the new Nabbout (who was the old Roy) pushing Nabbout back to being the new Joey who then became the new Nabbout (when he left for Japan) who can then become the new Roy unless Thurgate becomes the new Roy or if Roy remains the same Roy all season next year and we won't have to worry about any of it.

    Hope that clears things up.
