Disappointing if we were only interested in Garcia if Zads was leaving. We need a bloody attacking midfielder/playmaker. Probably the only club in the league without one. We NEED Garcia!
WSW = Ono
Bris = Miller
Heart = Kewell
MV = Nichols
Adel = Visosic
CCM = Flores
Syd = Carle
Wel = Hernandez
Perth = McGarry
Although he was shite last year Brown is our CAM. If he can replicate his Gold Coast form I would have him before half of the blokes on that listOriginally Posted by lil_masi
The thing is, i don't believe his Gold Coast form was ever that great. Definitely wasn'tworthy
I guess he was the green apple in a basket full of rotten applesThe thing is, i don't believe his Gold Coast form was ever that great. Definitely wasn't
I don't know if he can replicate some of the stuff he did at cold toast, but some of his goals were definitelyThe thing is, i don't believe his Gold Coast form was ever that great. Definitely wasn't
And McGarry is???The thing is, i don't believe his Gold Coast form was ever that great. Definitely wasn't
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
Brown is absolute shite.
After all this talk, I reckon GVE, Middleby and co will somehow manage to go an entire offseason without signing a decent CAM and CB - the only two positions we needed filled desperately.
I hope Brown comes out and blows everyone off the park this season. If he gets a good pre-season under his belt and gets his injuries sorted it'll be like having a new player on the team.
I think he has the ability to do it.
I really hope he proves me wrong, but realistically I can't see it happening. He played a few good games as a youngster at Gold Coast.
Every involvement for the Jets, he looked lazy and terrified of actually getting the ball. I don't think injuries played as strong a part as his mental toughness - something which is much harder to strengthen.
Almost sounds like an Arsenal fan with that line
I think Brown is considerably better than the player we saw last year. I think he was horribly mismanaged though... surgery, long lay off and then 30 minutes in the youth before being rushed back into the starting line up and under performing for weeks on end. I think you can read between the lines as to whose fault I think that is...
He he Liverpool fans were saying the same thing about Lucas last year when he returned.Almost sounds like an Arsenal fan with that line

I think you're right about Brown in everything you say. He appears to be a confidence player and he was definately hesitating in challenges. That all came about because he was mismanged in my opinion. But remember the excitement we felt when he signed? And also when he made his first team debut? We thought he could have been our saviour! Who can blame us because I recall he was looking quite tidy in the pre-season.
He'll come good this year, I'm sure.
SO can anyone confirm exactly how many positions we still have in the squad?
By my count we have 2 positions, which is the replacement for Ribiero and the replacement for Tiago.
A lot of the talk seems to be that we only have room for the CB, which is definately the priority.
LANS alert
What about Nathan Burns ?
Brisbane also have Broich!
Victory have the most quality attack... Thompson, Barbarouses, Nichols, Pain and Finkler (who i thought looked very tidy until he got injured early on and missed the season)
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
Is this our current squad in full?
1. Biraz
2. BK
3. Solari
4. Neville
5. Goodwin
6. Chapman
7. Regan
8. Gallaway
9. Mitchell
10. Rubez
11. Cooper
12. Ox
13. Peppz
14. Brillante
15. Brown
16. Caravella
17. Kanta (junior marquee)
18. Bridges smh (foreign - may not be by now?)
19. Heskey (international marquee - foreign)
20. Taggz
21. Virgili
22. Gibbs
23. Burns
24. Hoole
Now I'm under the impression that Hoole, Gallaway & Gibbs are definately on senior contracts. Last year I saw all of Solari (aka Duncan back then), Chapman, Cooper, Ox, Brillante & Peppz being referenced to as our non-squad-filling "youth" players. So you'd assume Middleby/GVE wouldn't be idiots and actually use the three youth apprentice spots or whatever they're called, and hence give us more squad room - regardless of which three it is. So by my count (and I think J-Pool too), we have 21 senior players. That would mean 1 spot for a centre back and a remaining spot.
Who have I missed?
our squad is:
1 Bira
2 BK
3 Chapman
4 Mitchell
5 Reagan
6 Neville
7 Galloway
8 Hoole
9 Brilliante
10 Zad
11 Zenon
12 Pepper
13 Kanta
14 Cooper
15 Brown
16 Bridges
17 Virgilli
18 Taggart
19 Heskey
20 Burns
21 Gibbs
22 Goodwin
23
Few stories out now that Jets have not been in talks with Ljubo and that he is not coming

That's 24 from my understanding your allowed 23 but Solari, Cooper, Oxborrow, Gibbs, Chapman and Hoole could all be moved to youth contracts from my understanding as well.
Typical Jets, rubbish at internal comms.Few stories out now that Jets have not been in talks with the Jets and that he is not coming
JETS OUT.
Whatever Mcgarry has to do with it i don't know but he's a honking footballer i wouldn't want near our team.
Brown's gone the way of Kantarovski, not gonna discover his form of previous seasons. Quite a pessimistic attitude to have but hey, who doesn't have one around here. I'm with Stevo, happy to be proven wrong.
Roll on the GVE magic.
