Just offer Flores a few bucks more. I reckon he will take the money. Would be good to pinch him under Adelaides nose. Would be an awesome signing along with Joel and one other super signing for the front third. We must have a few dollars in the bank (and salary cap) now after letting a few go over $150,000.Originally Posted by Pico
letting nts go at 250k, jeffers go at 200k+, i'd imagine tarek would have been mid 100s (by just comparing him to jesic) i can't see any reason why we can't fit flores under the cap.
Until i am proven wrong by a signing worth any decent coin, i'm going to assume the jets will field basically a Gold Coast type youth team this season and try to financially break even over the long run. Tinks does NOT care about football and is only trying to highlight to the FFA what a "sustainable" team in the a-league actually looks like.
The up side is that we still have a team to support, love you tinks!

Victory sign Marcos Flores
Melbourne Victory have pulled off a coup, signing 2010/11 Johnny Warren Medallist Marcos Flores to a two-year deal as the club’s International Marquee player.
Fvck..
lol at anyone who ever thought that he would be coming here. does not have good engines, luxury player, won't stay back at training and do push ups, practice headers
q-mun with the truth bombs
Novocastria Youth
such a good signing for mv. they just signed a 20yearold promising striker the other day, and ange has made a few unknown foreign signings, so with a cb to eventually get signed they'll be pretty freaking strong this year.
adelaide fans will be close to committing suicide - this is a similar move to if griff came back to the league and signed for the gypos or sydney.
i'm genuinely sick of saying what we need - a number 10 and a number 9. i think we'll look back at not chasing flores hard enough and regret it as much as we can do with smeltz last year.
good for the competition imo, a strong victory is a strong a-league
packed away games, going down four blot makes it worth it when the place is rammed
Given the way the Jets normally play over the Christmas/New Year period, the Melbourne double header will be one to remember.good for the competition imo, a strong victory is a strong a-league
packed away games
Not quite the same imo. Flores only played for them for one season whereas Joel has been in and out of the Newcastle team most of his career. Flores is more like Nicky Carles move to Sydney which, in the end, nobody here really cared about.
I'm sure they won't be happy but the Griff playing anywhere other than Newcastle is unthinkable.
I still dislike Nicky for moving to Sydney and definitely don't have any affection for him anymore like I used to. Still got a gold jersey with Carle on the back
Spot on. We won't get an attacking midfielder that is anything special. We won't get Griff.
We'll get a cheap, young team that will get hammered and finish last in the comp.
Furns asked middleby my question concerning exactly this. He gave a half-arsed answer about "the future of Australia football" and a "product we'll be proud of."
I don't want to be proud - I want to f*cking win.
+1
A well known recently sacked Jets official is saying that Tinks did a deal with the FFA to keep the club alive until after the TV deal has been struck with Fox and then he will be allowed out of his contract.
This could be taken as sour grapes I know but the same bloke was also very critical of GVE and his methods both on and off the field. He paints a very dire picture for the Jets future.
Talk is Spira is going to be announced as the final piece in the jigsaw.
****s.
Yep and reckong this will be there biggest hurdle in achieving the 11K membership number. The talk must equel the outcome in regards to signing quality front third players. til then i bet many hold off renewing.
Pffffffftttt.
Sif Sasho ever played for the Gypos.
Some of you blokes............
Ed zachary. They are blowing their trumpet that FOUR THOUSAND members have signed up already. If I was running a football club, had 10k season ticket holders one season and come the next season didn't have close to 10k re-signing up in a very short time, I would be pretty disappointed. The Jets releases are all just a bunch of spin.
I think that's a little harsh Grimario, especially when you consider the lack-lustre on field performance last season and ridiculous off-field goings on, already having 4000 members is bloody good if you ask me.
The 10k took some time to get to last season, wouldn't be surprised if it was higher this season and wouldn't be disappointed if it was lower given the circumstances.
