Except they don't have agents stirring shit. Point was, losing Carney isn't going to send us plummeting down the table is it?
So true....and so depressing that we cant turn to alcohol with what we watch each week.
Hey man we agree that Carney isn't the problem.
You say the agent, I say the club.
Hot chips/French fries etc etc
You can with Foxtel and a freshly stocked fridge.
**** going to games.

People bagging Carney should know the player we might be getting in exchange!WITH Alex Gersbach having played his last game for Sydney FC, Graham Arnold confirmed the swirling rumours linking David Carney with a return to the Sky Blues.
Gersbach was Sydney’s stand-out player in Saturday night’s miserable 3-1 defeat to Brisbane Roar, but the 18-year-old defender has signed for a European club, believed to be in Norway, for an undisclosed fee.
Losing Gersbach is a blow for Arnold as the young left-back has been a valuable player for the club all season, but Arnold knows Europe is a great opportunity for him.
“Alex is a very ambitious young man and I would like to thank him for his service to Sydney FC,” Arnold said. “It is always pleasing to be able to bring through a young player, develop him and see him get a great chance in Europe. We would have loved to have kept him for another year, but it’s a great opportunity for him and I wish him the very best for the future.”

Carney, meanwhile, is expected to complete his move to the Sky Blues after Arnold admitted he is interested in signing the Newcastle Jets midfielder.
Carney was surprisingly omitted from Newcastle’s match against Adelaide, with the club issuing a statement saying the 32-year-old is “not 100 per cent committed to representing Newcastle Jets”.
“For me, he’s the best player at Newcastle,” Arnold said of Carney.
“He gives a lot of attacking variety and he can play in a number of positions. We’re interested in him, but still nothing is going on at the moment.
“I’ve had a chat to (Jets coach) Scotty Miller and we’ve been in touch with Newcastle, but we’re still waiting to hear.”
After playing 35 games for the Jets, Carney is off contract at the end of the season and is keen on a return to the club he played for nearly a decade ago. Sydney also need to add some depth ahead of their Asian Champions League campaign, which begins this month.

There have been reports that Sydney might have to swap two players with Newcastle in return for Carney, but it won’t be easy to convince any of them to leave. Interestingly, though, both Chris Naumoff and Matt Simon were left out of Saturday’s match day squad.
“We haven’t gone that far yet,” Arnold yet. “If there is a player swap then the player has to want to go up to Newcastle - we can’t force them. We’ll see what happens.”
There’s no doubt Carney would add quality to Sydney’s attack, which is needed following a couple of disappointing performances. The match against Brisbane aside, Sydney have been solid at the back, but have struggled to convert their chances into goals.
Arnold admitted the team is badly missing its inspirational captain Alex Brosque, but he is unlikely to return for Friday’s trip to Adelaide.
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
Whoever we get is irrelevant to how bad carney is at tracking back.
If it's messi - carney was still lazy without the ball.
If it's Matt simon - carney was still lazy without the ball.
Like how Arnie turns it all back on the Jets ("we're waiting to hear") - we can do sweet FA.
Will be an interesting 24 hours.
Matt Simon may eat more D*&K than Clive Palmer eats Pies.. but he would give us the "ref harassing mongrel attitude" some people on these forums have been asking for lately?
Naumoff would be ok, i'd honestly rather one of their youth prospects than Simon.. i'd be very suprised if Simon agreed to coming here let alone us signing him so not going to give it much thought.
Why do we want carney always "tracking back" why exhaust your main (and pretty much only) outlet to scoring goals constantly defending? Remember we are the jets, we defend a shit load
Carlos Hernandez, would you have liked him here at his peak in the A-league?
Defending is obviously important but you cannot win without scoring.
When a team goes forward they go forward with max 7 players, they will always leave 3 sitting deep. So every team attacks with 7 players. No Carney and Triff getting back means we have 8 defensive players. That should be enough to find our shape and defend.
I suppose id prefer to rely on the other 8 players back there being able to defend against the opposition 7 guys and look to actually score a goal or two.
We complain that they don't have a go and attack opponent, we sit back too much. But a guy who is all about attacking and scoring goals gets bagged out and everyone thinks we are better off without him.
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
You're almost correct with this. Shape dictates who tracks back. Sometimes you need 10 tracking back, sometimes you only need 6. Cabbage seems to either stay up and not track back, or when he tracks back he doesn't have the legs to help out with the next attack. Thus he gets slagged off for having Stinky Cabbage Hands and the fitness of Frank Lowy..
Problem with Carney is when played at left back when he goes forward and we cough up the ball he has to get back ASAP
He jogs or walks back.
Not acceptable
When he plays as a wide mid he needs to track back and offer support to his fullback and stop the full back being isolated
He is very poor at this.
Generally speaking he shows **** all urgency to get balls where ever he is and doesn't want to tackle much
He doesn't even want to press our opponents.
It was a glaring contrast yesterday
When our back 4 had the ball Djite Goodwin Carrusca and co were all over us giving our blokes **** all time on the ball
When there back 4 bad it we stood off or pressed in a half hearted manner.
Sure as shit you don't need to press for 90 mins as it tires you out but why give the opposition a free pass out of their half and into ours???
The benefits of pressing though see the ball turned over with either a throw in free kick coming our way in good field position or a turnover which may see us create a goal scoring opportunity whilst our opponent is not set in defence.
Adelaide with the wide players in the sideline are a good team to press as you can leave them very exposed if you pick them off
He would be a good addition to our squad.
He harasses the **** out of opponents and makes life hard for the opponents back 4.
The bloke is a **** but even with his Gypo roots that will be soon forgotten as he would be our ****.
His 110% all effort approach would be well received by the Newy people as that is a feature locals appreciate.
He may not have style or grace but we love players to get in and have a go.
Thought I read that Naumoff said no to coming here anyway.
I get the feeling this is going to be a 1 for 1 swap. Would we be happy with just Simon? The guy is barely getting game time and wouldn't find living in Newy a problem seeing as it's still a massive step up from the shithole he was used to.
And I agree with MFKS (holy shit), he has the footballing qualities that make him an absolute c**t as an opponent, a la Berisha, but qualities we'd love to see in our own players.

No fan of Carney but.. swapping him for Matt Simon? FFS well in Jets.....
Haha blokes on here already caping up for Gypo Simon.
You blokes love this club too much and the club don't deserve you.
Get another hobby til these ****ers stop hating on you. It's battered wife syndrome, it's unhealthy.
I have numerous positive hobbies to balance out my undying devotion to the jets. Just glad I'm not the type of deadbeat to take on the hobby of keyboard warrior
I know, right.
**** those guys.
matt simon can **** right off
the line of worst gypos ever clearly goes
hutcho
nick murder
kwasnik
simon
Simon will never be allowed to wear our jersey. Fvcking coastie scum. I know other coasties have, but he's the fvcking epitome of a coastie. Up there with Hutcho. No way.
Carney, twice in 12 months he's been dropped for unknown reasons.
Strange that two different coaching/management have had the same approach with this fella. When he doesn't get his way/results, he wants out. When you don't let him, he chucks a tanny.
I wonder who started all the stuff with squad separation back when we had ol' stubs. Interesting.
