Apparently we reached out to Lachy Jackson but were unable to afford what he was asking
Also saw a rumour that we’re trying to move on Welli in this January window which seems nonsensical to me
Makes sense only because of what Stanton is doing.
Last season and this it is obvious he prefers younger players, that he knows, who will do as they are told. The list of experienced players do not appear to have been utilised properly. As soon as he dropped Hoff and Carl first go last year showed he didn't have much time for them, same with O'Neill and invisible Frenchman. He is sticking to a Plan A with no flexibility and I don't think he supports the older heads much, probably because they stick up for themselves.
This may sound left field, but I do think it would be worth starting with Rose up front, Welli on the left, Kota on the right and Charlie in the mids with Kosta back where he was. Might not work but worth a try showing some confidence in these guys. And how much worse could it be??? Doesn't fix defence but may get us some more goals and fire the team up.
What is obvious is that Rose and Welli have passion and Kota showed more passion in 30 mins on Saturday than most of the first team did all season. Honest, some of these kids would back down like a Colombian president if you hit them with a wet wipe - they look that fragile. I do think there is a player in Welli, but he looks like he is low in confidence and support.

Story on why Joey Champness left Auckland
Jackson?s signed with Victory so that?s the end of that rumour. Real shame, seems like he was most interested in us but we couldn?t make a deal on the financial side of things
Any other CBs people think we could look into

Dead to me - nobody from 2018 should play for the cheating filth of MV...

Welli isn't up to standard and neither is the person that recruited him.
Feel sorry for Welli though moving halfway around the world to not be suitable because recruitment got it terribly wrong.

Heard on A-League video Alex Grant is available but I'm getting the sense from articles on A-Leagues that he is signing for Sydney FC to replace Matthews.
I think he would have been a handy pick up too.

Grimaldi gone. (Plus Bowling and Piazza.)
Considering we've been playing a CM there instead of him, I think he must have known he wasn't going to get a starting gig anytime soon. Hopefully he kicks on elsewhere, he seems athletic enough and strong in the tackle, just needs to work on positioning and ball playing a little if he wants to be starting at this level. Both of which things that come with age anyways.
Really? This list posted at the start of the thread had him down as expiring next year hence that assumption
Double checked as well and this article from Feb 2024 says he’s signed a 2 year contract - https://newcastlejetsfc.com.au/news/...aldi-re-signs/
