    With the comp expanding by a single team for each of the next two seasons it will probably be the case he may pick up a deal elsewhere.

    Cowburn will definitely find another club, he’s at bare minimum a league squaddie standard, probably a bit cheap and can play in a bunch of different position

    Kinda with you on this and what i was alluding to in my post. His saving grace in a safety first approach salary capped league is his A League experience. Ability wise i maintain he is a dime a dozen player on par with many " smarter than most types " running around in State League. Lets face it the current rubbish standard of the A League means most players on a clubs roster outside of the first 16 for arguments sake are that type of player Min wage bordering on average A League to looking smarter than most on a State League pitch.

    Cowby's versatility and experience in the league make would him a safe choice for most clubs. Sadly it is that safety first approach most clubs take that deny plenty of others an opportunity.To the best of my knowledge he has had 4-5 seasons to establish himself and prove to others he should be regarded as a first 11 player as opposed to a squadie to fill a hole every now and then.

    "Give kids a chance"

    He's 24 yrs old (3-4 yrs before prime) in a league with virtually no competent youth system.....

    He is a kid.



    This isn't Football Manager / FIFA where you can play a 17yr old for a few months, hit the training button a few times and they become world class.

    What sort of pool of young players do you think we have in this country? Because I can burst your bubble very easily and inform you that we have no proper youth systems in place and therefore very little knowledge about young players anywhere. We rely on other countries finding our youth and taking it early or, late bloomers like Mooy/Ryan/Degenek to move overseas and improve.

    Cowburn is fine to be moved on if we have others coming through, but screw your recycled player bullshit on this one Member.

    not sure if anyone saw it but after the United/City game yesterday the 'experts' were saying that young players like Lingard need to learn from older players like Pogba.

    they are both the same age.

    I thought this season Cowburn played some very good football. Delivered some wonderful free kicks / passes as well with very limited opportunities [He kicks better corners than Dimi].
    He's far too good for state league gigs but in that Virgili type vortex of not quite being able to make a name for himself at A-League level.
    Would I keep him at the Jets ? No. But I think at another club with more opportunities for him he just might surprise a few people.

    I could see Cowburn picking up a role at the Roar or Western United.

    I liked the little I saw of him in midfield this year to be honest. Seemed tidy on the ball and passed around well enough. Didn't create a lot of threat but I think could play the 6 role ok, especially in a team looking to control the ball.

    I think he's good enough to play in the league. His set pieces are his strength.

    I think we have let him go because we have adequate numbers in that position (CM) and other prospects coming through that could block their progress.

    Fair play to Nick that he wanted to play centrally, but I think had he kept playing as a fullback he'd still have a Jets contract.

    How long is Kanta contracted for? Id always seen Cowburn as that 'type' of player in the future.

    This is a good summary of Cowby. Getting away from the local boy home team and club mentality could very well be just what he needs to take that next step or see him back here at Magic.

    Interesting off season ahead.

    The writing was on the wall for RV and Jair. I think we have players that are as good, if not better, in their preferred roles.

    So if Roy re-signs, our currently signed players best 11 is something like the below:

    GK - Moss
    RB - Millar
    CB - NTS/Boogs
    LB - Vujica
    CM - Sugar/Kanta
    AM - Dimi
    RW - Hoff
    LW - JOWIC
    ST - Roy

    Fringe players

    Italiano
    James
    Sheppard
    Thurgate
    Ridenton
    Koutroumbis
    Jackson
    Simmons
    Langlois
    Kosta

    Where should the Jets be targeting their marquee? And where else should we be looking at strengthening or adding depth?

    Personally I would love to see us follow the NIX's lead from this season and sign an excellent GK and/or CB.

    I would like to see us recruit 2 wide players and a striker.

    Anyone that thinks this season was bad can strap themselves in for an even bigger shit show next season.

    The emphasis on recruitment is lowering costs and in every case that will mean replacing those leaving with cheaper / inferior players.
