There you go. Who is next in line for the youth team? Assume they'd become third choice.

Faj isn't it?
He was Duncan's deputy last year.
Middleby Gone
Lawrie Out
So supposedly we're trialling Sebastian Usai (of NQF and then bench warmer for Blackburn) and some John Solari bloke who I have never heard of, both for that critical 3rd keeping spot. Usai is an interesting one, still don't get why we're looking for a 3rd senior keeper though, seems like a waste of a squad spot. Surely the youth team keeper (whoever that is) will be decent enough as a 3rd option.
Is this a fact or are you just speculating? I haven't seen anything like that reported anywhere. Way too soon for him if it's true.
Also article did specifically say it was the 3rd keeping spot they were trialling for.

Out of curiosity why do we need another keeper???
Birraz>> then BK >>> then if needed call some one in on loan ala what we done with Nashy last year.
Why in gods name do we need a 3rd EXPERIENCED keeper for??
Surely the young yoof keeper can fill in this role and be overlooked for loan keeper when our keepers get kicked in the head again like we did with jack Duncan last season.
If Birraz is leaving then surely we need to be looking at signing a replacement of a calibre greater than these two mentioned as BK isn't good enough
It's nearly June and all I see is, how Mr T puts it, "pain"......
We are signing nobody of any note and unless that happens I can see Heskey bailing out of his contract.
And then there's Tinks......
can we sign someone between 24 - 30
Guys, not sure if you missed this but our brilliant coaching staff have identified the problem!

Seriously, would be nice if the club could spew out anything more than this tired, old rhetoric.Jets highlight key areas for recruitment
Hunter Ports Newcastle Jets head coach Gary van Egmond has confirmed the club is still on the lookout for a player to bolster their options in the attacking third, as well as an experienced central defender.
The Jets confirmed on Wednesday that Socceroos international Harry Kewell would not be joining the Club for the 2013/14 A-League season
However, van Egmond said the Club would still be looking to add another high-quality attacker to their roster, along with a central defender.
“It doesn’t alter who we’re looking at positionally from the fact that we need an attacking player and a left-sided stopper,” van Egmond said.
“They’re the two areas that we’re looking to get and we need both to have a good deal of experience, especially in the backline.
“We’ve got some good young players coming through, but we need someone to give them a little bit of direction, controlling that back four and our defensive shape at times.
“I think that’s something that we really missed last year.”
Van Egmond said that if Kewell was to make a return to the A-League this season, it would be beneficial for the whole competition.
“Of course we would have liked to have someone like Harry come to our Club, but it wasn’t to be,” van Egmond said.
“I read a couple of interesting articles where it was quoted that it was to do with money or what have you, but I don’t think that’s the case. I don’t think Harry would be signing anywhere just for the money.
“I still see it as a real positive for the A-League (if he returns).
“Last year we had Shinji Ono at the Wanderers, Del Piero at Sydney FC and obviously Emile here in Newcastle.
“Now it looks like we’ll have another high profile player at Melbourne Heart, hopefully that might be the impetus for a couple of other teams to get that type of player as well.”
Van Egmond was speaking following Hunter Sports Group’s announcement that nib health funds (nib) had reaffirmed its commitment to the Newcastle Jets and Newcastle Knights by extending its major partnership for an additional 12 months.
Under the agreement, the local health insurer will maintain its coveted sleeve sponsorship with the nib logo appearing on the sleeve of the players’ jersey for both clubs.
“It’s fantastic from the perspective that it’s a Newcastle icon as far as a brand is concerned,” van Egmond said.
“Their partnership with the Knights is the longest-running sponsorship as far as rugby league is concerned and hopefully that can in turn happen for the Jets as well.
“It’s fantastic that it’s a local company that is getting behind the Jets and the Knights and in a very competitive market for sponsorship, to have nib renewed is fantastic.”
GVE OUT.
And with GVE they all start with obviously. Obviously GVE is overated.
Can't believe he spins this shit, yet Tim Cahill approached us for a 10 gamer and was knocked back![]()
Heard from multiple sauces. Cahill approached Tinks at the end of he last MLS season. Ended up going to train back at Everton iirc.
Tinks said yea, Middleby & Palmer said nae
