Newcastle United Jets 2013/2014 Squad thread

[pv4]

can someone check listing on OP and let me know of any changes please?
Like to update it but I havent the time to f*ck around looking for articles and shit

Do sfcu still have a bossy thread on it? Just steal their deetz lol

[pv4]

Best I could find on every player, Furns! P.S. wasn't a fan of the colour-coding. Also it is insanely hard to tell who is and isn't apart of that youth/apprentice contract so I dropped that out. Rumoured players may or may not be legit, but my best bet.

Full steam ahead.

[furns]

right from that list am happy to give another year to Mitchell, Carney, Griff
Rest can gtfo

[Superdylan]

Must throw as much money at taggart as possible to keep him here at the Newcastle jets at least for next season.

[furns]

Taggz is already signed for next season.
I would probably be signing him to a longer better deal, so that we can maximise any transfer fee that may eventuate.

[MFKS]

The other 2 blokes I agree with particularly that Griffo bloke.


As for Mitchell. We really need to be signing better quality than him.

Yes we could re sign him but we have too many players already on the books of his ilk ie Average who will eventually **** up

The signing of Kew Jaliens shows someone has a clue so there is room to believe we could sign a very good player to partner Kew.

Its high time we actually assembled a squad capable of making the top 6 in a 10 team comp. Mitchell to me is the signing of a club who wishes to try and make the 6 not the signing of a club who expects to make the 6

Surely you can admit that Mitchell has been very good since he has come back into the fold? Why not reward that with another year?

He has been "better" but still not good enough. MFKS is spot on.

[pv4]

Particularly the last 3-4 games, I think Mitchell has been absolutely excellent. He's a local, he plays for the shirt, he gets stuck in, he wins headers, he makes the challenges he needs to (even if some are a bit rough) and he is keeping possession way more than last season (and I still blame GVE and his sytem for that, and not Mitchell). I don't see what else people want. He perfectly compliments Kew, and they are forming quite a formidable partnership. And he's keeping Regan & Chapman out of a job, he's doing so well!

I quite like every player in our squad who is coming off contract (bar Bridges, for well-documented reasons). I'd love to see them all re-signed (particularly Mitchell & Griff), assuming we don't have the drawing power plus audacity and ability to attract better players (and, assuming we're typical jerks, this will be the case).

[Disinterested Bystander]

I'm sure we will do as that's our style - rather than signing good quality skilled players, sign players who are demonstrably poorly skilled, have a long term trend of being crap, but are currently performing somewhat better than said long term trend.

Aiming to sneak into the top 6 in the last round by goal difference FTW!

Same bloke dogged it for Harolds goal at the weekend/

Have a look at the replay and explain to me what he was doing???


As for him keeping possession Have a look at where he keeps possession. Most of his passes are back to the keeper and the bloke many a time has the first instinct to go back rather than play forward at all

I never said he wasn't at fault for things nor didn't make mistakes. Every player does. That's usually how goals are scored. I still think he's incredibly solid, and very suited to our club.

I have honestly barely seen him play a backpass this season. I think your views are from GVE days still - which I have said many times should not be used to assess him as that system proper set up the centre backs to look bad. Show me evidence of him "mostly" passing back to the keeper this season (and moreso these last 3-4 games) and I'll probably be more open to your opinion - until then I will be of the belief you're holding a grudge from last season still.

[MFKS]

Very suited to our clubs continued desire to seek and achieve mediocrity.

Watch him on the weekend instead of Bridges and see how often he needlessly passes back to BK when he could pass forward. Ball comes back to him and he will choose the easy option and play it back and negates the option to keep possession and look forward for a suitable pass

He Loves Newy.
One can Dream.

[The Dunster]

Mitchell deserves another contract. He's been one of our best since GVE was boned.

[WolfMan]

Obviously not a popular opinion (that Mitchell is good enough for us/the league), but myself, pv4 and Dunster will just make our own little Mitchell Appreciation Society lol
