Do you guys think there could be a chance we dont re-sign Taylor Reagan. Although I think he's average, he is local and stepped up when we were in he shits and was solid. However, we have Mullen, Boogs as CB, big rumors we are getting Zac Anderson and Muata-Marlow who are both CB. That's 4. 5 CB on the books is ridiculous, would rather that extra player in the front third.
Muata-Marlow is going to be the Welsh/Gallagher replacement, IMO. Boogard in for Regan.
Anyway, everyone says we are playing 3 at the back next season.
It depends whether we will be playing 3 at the back next year. I too think 5 is excessive given the squad limit sizes.
The Championship Chronicles - The Jetstream's review of the 2007/08 season. www.newcastlefootball.net/chronicles
In a 23-man squad 3 specialist CB's are adequate cover, especially when you still have Kanta who can cover there and the likliehood of Cowburn being signed, another who can play there. Would rate Anderson over Regan but a big call to bring in an untried player like Muata-Marlow, another decision I'm sure which would infuriate supporters even more.
That being said everyone assumes Mullen/Boogaard are playing CB.
Maybe the plan is one of them as a RB.
After all Muppet is crackpot crazy with ideas like playing Griff as a RW and then whinging about lack of goals
Prob signing extras for the gruelling ACL campaign.
I don't know anything about Muata-Marlow - will he be a youth player as well or solely senior squad contract?
Whether accurate or not, Regan is seen to be versatile enough to play centre mid also. In saying that, in the final half of this season there were some games I thought Regan was terrific, and I definitely had some sense of renewed fan for him. But I find his good form too inconsistent tbh.
Similar to Mullen with RB - I think his time at WSW proved he is not suitable to RB but he is probably seen as an option there, particularly if Neville moves on.
I can't see Anderson moving to us without guarentees of a starting spot. Which makes me think we will be playing 3 at the back (ffs Stubbins, kill me now) with Mullen right, Boogs centre, Anderson left (or similar). Anderson is quite poor at playing out, so it'll be interesting to see how he is used.
OK
I love 3 at the back as a formation. However you need to have ball playing defenders, Mullen could potentially do it, Boogard i think could handle it, but i don't think Regan/Anderson could handle the pressure. Gallagher would be horrible. Potentially this could finally mean that Kanta moves to defense, it would suit him better than midfield.
Leaky G on the left with Cowburn on the right would be good. need backups for them though.
or you know, we could just keep the bloke who's been our best back who is under contract for next season.

Just thinking about some of the younger players on the team.
Barresi and Lundy
Both have Senior contracts but still are eligible for the youth team.
Crowley
I would imagine that Crowley would have 1 more season in the youths.
Pavicevic
Has senior deal and will be a back up ST next season.
Cowburn
Has shown that he can compete in the A-League, will be here or at another team next season.
M. Kanta and Burgess
These 2 however, both are too old for the Youth team. Would you keep 1 or both around as back-ups to fill 2 of the 10/13 roster spots?
What do you mean Michael Kanta is too old for the Yoof team??
If he is playing NPL this season then he is young enough to back up next NYL season.
Michael Kantarovski is only 19 atm
Turns 20 next month.
Unless you can be turning 21 and still play in the Youths?
I guess with the season ending before he turns 21 next year he must be right to play.
Pretty sure it's your age at Dec 31 which would mean he is eligible for NYL but not for an apprentice contract
Am I the only one who think we get rid of Virgili and keep his injury replacement in Burgess?
Although we have 13 signed, both Lundy and Pavecevic are both on Fulltime NYL (apprentice) contracts meaning we have 12 spots free if we want to use them.
Muata-Marlow I believe would be signed to the last apprentice contract as he is of the right age to qualify and wouldn't leave SFC for just another regular NYL contract.
[Edit - Actually too old for an apprentice contract and NYL so must be senior contract]
Brennan is too old for NYL and is an interesting signing. Must have impressed on trial

I think Burgess and even T. Cooper showed more in their cameos than I can remember Virgili showing in most of his career here.
I still think virgili will be one of the saddest stories if he doesn't make it as HAL player
so much potential yet to be realised
if he goes back to the NPL i expect him to score 20+ goals and be the best player in the league by far.
I still think he deserves one more chance.
He is also one of most genuine and nicest blokes i know (not that it should count for anything)
i would not retain burgess or cooper. Lundy can cover both but i assume both will stay and they will cull lundy.
Seriously why are we ****ing around with the prospect of keeping any of our off contract players??
We came stone motherless last and need a complete ****ing overhaul
Other than the Serb and Cowburn being a young local the rest of them need to ****ing go.
Muppet needs to back himself to find better. If he can't then he should quit
Will be pretty pissed if any of these off contract players other than the Serb or Cowburn get another contract. Now is not the time to be making decision on sentiment. Ruthless precision is needed.
