I return from a pilgrimage out bush and discover that my beloved Jets have signed the greatest ever Danish striker. Amazing.
I will support Newy this round.
I enjoyed this joke.
Then you'd be complaining he got rid of the only experience we had.
Shifting older players, on good coin isn't as easy as shifting a young bloke near the minimum wage.
Did miller stop in Thailand on his way over here and shag your missus? I really think you need to pull your head from your arse as I fear you're starting to believe your own bullshit.
You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd, and miller got handed a steaming pile of shit.... And no polish.
He's signed guys on short contracts with a-league experience to fill the gaps in the squad he was given. Poljak Watson etc etc.... How many better players would accept short deals? Good players know they can demand more job security elsewhere.
Labs got a season ending injury early on and His number 10 got taken out by a **** of a tackle in a derby. The highest paid red head in the league is on too much coin to have his contract paid out and too shit/lazy to be taken by someone else as there's no way he'd agreed to terms for less than he's currently earning.
You appear to think its like playing Football manager and moving large amounts of deadwood out is easy.
If you'd accept even a small dose of reality in your rants against the bloke's recruitment you might make a little sense.
Thank you.
Interesting reading Scott Miller playing hardball with Arnie over Carney in the paper today.
It's a rare occasion when we have SFC by the balls. Arnie's attack is pedestrian at best and will be lucky to score a goal in the ACL. Arnie knows it and is desperate to get Dave for an X Factor. That puts us in the perfect position to prise away a youngster that SFC do not necessarily want to give up.
Naumoff makes sense in that he can play in Dave's position or swap with Enver. Or may play off the bench with Leonardo to the starting team.
The big question is who else do we snatch off them. Obviously we have tried for Hoole and I wouldn't give up on him just yet. His manager said his goal is a go to Europe in 12 months and a starting position will be the way he gets there. Could be persuaded if Arnie told him his opportunities would dry up once Dave arrived.
Brandon O'Niell is another I would enquire about. Our central midfield is bog average and O'Niell could walk into our team at present.
Although unlikely, Ryan Grant is another who would be handy. Would start for us at LB or put pressure on a DM position.
And lastly, why not the return of Ali Abbas. Crowd favourite here, could walk into LB and add some attacking edge.
Go back to the actual changeover. We had 13 players on contract who were moved across without being paid or getting super for some weeks. Ethically, do you really think we should/could have offloaded anyone?
Miller came in and only had a guaranteed job for 3 months don't forget....it was the reason Rudes said no with a new owner sounding certain back then.
Wholesale changes when debts were being cleared and wages being fixed up would have been ridiculously complicated and the PFA may have caused a stink too.
We had no club just before the season started and we are where most sensible people thought we would be.
abbas would be ripping
The CBA dictates that a new entity taking ownership (in our case the FFA) must offer like for like contracts to players currently contracted to the old entity.... So all the players not yet sacked stubbins and tinkler (like reefs) were required to be offered contracts exactly the same as they had.
They couldn't be cut loose unless paid out, or another club wanted them and a mutual termination could be agreed on... Like Neville going to WSW.
Realistically we'd need one of Naumoff or Hoole to provide a literal swap for Carney.
I'd say we're best focusing on a defender above all else, as we essentially have 4 guys in the back at this point and when one gets injured or red carded someone is forced to play out of position. Our midfield is probably our weakest point, but we have more viable options in that position then we do in defence.
In a perfect world we pull Gersbach, but that's a pipe dream. Ryan Grant would be useful as LB is our worst position right now, so to me a swap for Hoole and Grant would be worth it
Would accept naumoff or oneill - can only see us getting one of their talented youngster brigade. Plus wouldn't mind Abbas.
Personally, I think we should just keep Carney now till the end of his contract. As Miller said we don't have to do anything to help SFC and Carney is under contract.
He can go cry in the corner again if necessary.
Carney omitted from Adelaide encounter
Newcastle Jets confirm that David Carney has been omitted from the club’s Hyundai A-League round 17 squad for tomorrow’s match against Adelaide United at Coopers Stadium.
Unfortunately recent events have led the club to determine that at this point in time Carney is not 100 per cent committed to representing Newcastle Jets.
Not likely now. Carney has been omitted from Adelaide game squad as he is "not committed". Obviously pushing hard to force our hand.
Teach him a lesson. Hang on to him as others have said. Not like we can get a transfer fee from an Austtalian club.
Hopefully it's a Middle Eastern move he's after and we get paid
Did not know this before my previous post. Even more I think Carney is about Carney and his agent has been playing media games to pressure the Jets.
Stuff him...train in the corner if you are not 100% committed.
Deep down I know Sydney will get their way but geez I hope they don't.
If we get a good deal out of it, Money or decent players then screw off carney. If not sit on the sideline and get your manager to whinge
Doesn't make sense but you guys know what I mean
FFS!! Miller is starting to stink of Stubbins. Unless there is a trade deal imminent there is no reason to leave your best player at home for an absolute must win game.
Absolutely brainless.
Best player or not if he won't be committed to the team will turn into a cancer in the sheds. 100% back miller in this one
