Mullen?? FFS do we want to improve our squad

[Jeterpool]

Nice to see the club showing some backbone in contract negotiations

Mullen surprises me too

[Jetmaster]

Doesn't this Joel Grenell go on with crap...he convinces Hoole he is better than he is.
He previously commented that Hoole would not come back to Newcastle as there were offers in Europe if he left Sydney.
I tip him to vanish from the face of the earth.

This.

Says Mullen will be offered a new deal. Doesn't necessarily state this is an upgraded deal. Possibly a pay cut..

better be a big paycut based off performances this year

[leftrightout]

At a guess, LRO is suggesting that Kanta is the kind of player that we should be keeping and spending the outside the cap home grown/loyalty funds or whatever it is. He's not a completely awful player, has good versatility and if he takes up $0 in the salary cap, that means we have 22 spots for our 2.5m instead of 23. Make 2 marquee signings, sign an NPL rookie and use money on Cowburn or whoever meets whatever the old Junior Marquee thing is and suddenly you have 2.5m of cap to spend on the remaining 18 players. We don't do that.

No wonder clubs like Melbourne and Sydney have so much better squads. If you have those 5 spots outside the cap, that's a full $30k per person extra you can spend inside the cap. Even more if you snag a Timmy Cahill Rule player.

That guess is 100% on the money... my thoughts exactly!

I honestly don't see the big drama provided he's not on big coin. Carrying 3 CB in him, boogard and Jackson as well as Jonny K with the versatility to slip into midfield is probably adequate. I've seen a lot say that's too much but how many times have we had to draw on the depth in these positions each week. With injuries and suspensions playing a big part in the backline. CB isn't exactly a place any utility can just fill in. (Although JK is doing a bang up job)

Its not the big coin issue its the whenever he plays he's 99% of the time awful

[MFKS]

Yup... and the loyalty thing isn't just for one player, is it? It's up to a dollar figure, maybe $300k? So you could pay Kanta his salary, maybe BK in there as well and voila, you have a solid back up keeper, a versatile squad member and $0 spent in the cap.

You ****s will do anything to justify keeping these two at the club.

Let's just look at it straight up

Has Kantarovski done enough to warrant a new deal??
No

Then let him go


Has Bk done enough to warrant a new deal??
No
Then let him go

**** your sentiment right off
We been shit for the last 10 years

Why??
Because we keep giving contracts to those that don't ****ing perform

[steve136]

Hoole has improved this year but still has zero composure in most situations, isn't a sharp finisher and his touch still lets him down a lot of the time. Perfect candidate to hang around in the a-league for another year or two to continue to improve, but nope - another one racing off to Europe. I've seen this story before...he'll sign with a club that has no intention to start him, he'll sit on a bench for two years and come back to Australia when he's 26 to start all over again. You'd think these kids would learn...

[skullboy]

I concur.

I would expect the deal being offered will be considerably less than what he is on now. Next year and beyond he will be a bench player I would imagine, but every team needs bench players.

Did you even bother reading the logic behind it? I'm assuming not because you're advocating not using money outside the cap on the only players we have that are eligible for it and instead getting two equally shit players in and reducing the quality of the rest of the squad as a result.

You're a blithering idiot.

Thank you for saving me the time to write that!

Are there players in the league we would look at to replace Hoole? If we are looking to replace certain attributes of his game, we need speed and the ability to play 90 minutes - he's the only Jets player to have started all games he has been available for selection and not be substituted.

What is Nathan Burns doing? Would Chris Harold be an option?

Would we move Brown back to the positon behind the striker, get a striker who works very hard and carry a luxury player like a Castro? What Brisbane Roar Youth player can we pinch?

I like your thinking..
However, with our coaches amazing scouting connections, we all know we are only going to get a choice of a few Adelaide youth or youth women players..

Nailed on to sign someone like Dylan Smith... meets all of Jones criteria. Former Adelaide Youth player, now plays in SA NPL with Adelaide City.
