You have the option to get Nathan Burns out of his Korean contract & sign a 2 year deal with us, or you can let Burns go & sign Ryan Griffiths for 2 years. Which do you choose, and why?

OK
Nathan Burns - Younger, quicker and trickier. Has more of a future with the team.
Griff Lite, too much bullshit from Burns last night that I feel a need to Junk Punch him for trying to be RVP when all he needed to do was be more like Scholes. Plus that Pen.............
Ask me again in a few weeks aye?

OK
Burns.
He looks enough like Bridges that the pro-Bridges brigade might mistake him for a talented version and want him on the teamsheet instead.
agree
I'd take both, but would have Burns over RyGriff given Burns hasn't ran out on the club chasing coin (not that I blame RyGriff, but he can't expect to be welcomed back with open arms over someone else).
Middleby Gone
Lawrie Out
both.
Could be done. James Gardiner said in his live chat a few weeks ago that Gibbs was only ever signed as an injury replacement for Cooper... not an actual squad spot. So we apparently have one of them free.
Griff.
Don't hate the player, hate the game. did what anyone else would do in trying to earn as much coin as he can while he can, so his family is set up.
Has nothing to prove on the field so can come in and be a leader that we need.
having said that, id rather keep them both.
Burns or both
forgot about mitch cooper he is a classy act that hopefully has been scared of by this injuries.
honestly even if you only had him as a bench player/squad player. r griff can score goals when you need them and is a great penalty taker....burns
but burns is probably the most naturally gifted player we have had in our squad since vignaroli

(And I say that without sarcasm. Should have left the boots hung up instead of unretiring)
R Griff. He scores goals. Simple as that.
Ahead of who though, given that the left wing role Burns is now performing is nothing remotely like the one that RyuGriff was doing? He isn't going to be a striker ahead of Heskey or Taggart and he isn't going to play on the right as a winger either.
Unless GVE has plans to move to a 442, I honestly don't see where Griff fits into the lineup.
but for a squad player/bench player (if he is willing to take a lower wage) you would take him wouldn't you over bridges/gibbs/other rubbish options.
That's interesting! I thought he was the replacement for Jesic
For sure. But I just can't see Griff coming back as a bench warmer who scores goals in the NYL... can you?
If it's Burns on the left or Griff on the left, Burns would definitely be my preference.
Gibbs was originally signed for the entire 2013/14 season with no mention of injury replacement.

The Hunter Ports Newcastle Jets have signed striker Joey Gibbs for the 2013/14 A-League season.
OK
You mean JG is telling porkies? He did say "it's a little known fact that Gibbs was only signed as an injury replacement for Cooper. Was originally for the entire season but Cooper's rehab is well ahead of schedule. There is squad room to move Gibbs into the full roster though".
