    Look at our defensive setup and structure under Stanton and how backwards guys like Natta are going. Who the **** wants to join that mess as a defender

    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.

    I also wonder how he's going with the language - primarily with the team but also outside of it too.

    Either he is challenged or received terribly bad advice over the years. Use to enjoy watching him hug the sideline receive long diagonal balls from Boogs and drive into the box. Such a waste.

    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

    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.

    How old is Reegz? Would give a bit of heart to the team

    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.

    Also possible that with our plans to sign a new centre back, this was done to make some room in the salary cap for someone a little pricier

    100% agree, he has been moved on to free up money and a spot on the roster.
    It is hard for him to improve when he consistently wasn't on the park.

    I was also shocked to find he's 23, same age as Cancar, who himself isn't perfect but is better then Grimaldi. Add in a much younger Van Dorrsen, whose from Newy as well in the squad, and plans to sign another CB and it all makes sense to move him on.

    He only had 4 months left on his contract so I doubt it was about money

    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/
