2016/17 Squad Thread

[Bremsstrahlung]

Now going off your recent logic, Member.. It was the PLAYERS who won in Perth. Not Jones. So you can't count this as a Jones achievement.
Raheem scoring goals, as a Jones achievement? Again, using your logic, this is the PLAYERS achievement. Nothing to do with Jones. If the players performs its on THEM, same as if they don't perform.
Releasing two under utilised players, Jones probably had a say it in, but the final decision is on higher management. But I'll give you that one.
Letting BK go? He did his ACL, has done **** all for the last 3-4 years and is getting old. I'm not sure you can count this one as a Jones achievement either, anyone could let that useless prick go.

1 out of 4, not bad.. Been a good year for Jones is seems.

I'd like a MFKS response to this one?
You can't say the players are solely responsible for the negatives, but jones solely responsible for the positives.

Some guys are starting to make out MFKS to be the trusted authority on all things Jets!

I took it as the opposite, and people calling him out on the Jones-love bullshit..

I think he's the lone opposing side of the debate on many topics discussed on here.

[The Dunster]

There is really two choices. Get used to not making the top six or find another team. Pointless ripping into Jones or the players because their replacements are going to be more of the same anyway. So sit back and enjoy the abortion or get a new team.

I'm on this bandwagon.

[MFKS]

The thing is yes I not ready to crucify Jones as I don't see him as the issue.

He has been let down by a team full of players who can not execute skills correctly.

He has been let down by the Gypo CEO and Ledman with no backing in the market to strengthen the squad.

Basically he is the bloke getting all the criticism and has the Lynch mob baying for his blood.

But he isn't the issue.

He is the fall guy for others incompetence


The attention and negativity needs to be put on hold.

Most of the squad are gone in a few weeks anyway. That we are in the market for blokes like Georgevski and Petratos shows we actually trying and bringing in HAL level players for a change.

Hopefully the Chinese Lightsalesman has cottoned onto the fact he needs to spend spend spend to get us up to spec.

Hopefully the last couple of weeks are just what is needed to break the camel's back and force him into some action

Until the off season has been and done all the blabbering is achieving nothing.

Too many are focused on putting pressure on the Chinese Lightsalesman to sack Jones

They really should be focusing on getting the Chinese Lightsalesman to open his wallet and bring in the quality players we desperately need

[MonkeyKplunk]

At this stage, unless Jones pulls a Miller and challenges Overlord Mok'Morokk, I doubt we'll be seeing the back of him.

Hopefully he's at least been given some fairly strong KPI's so he knows he's on notice.

So WHEN does the Member guest on the podcast? Please make it happen.

I wouldn't have a problem with this post, IF you hadn't ripped Miller to shreds the moment he got here and every single day since, and performed under much worse conditions. The fact you relentlessly bagged him to the ****ing hilt means this bullshit patience you have for your uncle Mark is exactly that, bullshit.

[StannyCFCJET]

Shabow has signed 2 years. Gotta be the end of Clut

Let's just say I have gained a greater understanding of the ways of the universe in recent times.

Miller is still though deserving of my criticism

The way I see it this is where the squad stands for next season.

Duncan/?????
Hoff/Cowburn, Boogard/JK, Jackson/Alessi?, Georgevski/Vujica
????/Poljak**, Ugarkovic/Brown
Nabbout/?????, ??????/Shawbow, ?????/Petratos (the crap one)
Most likely O'Donovan/Kokko

From what i have heard Mullen has been offered a new contract but its way unders on his current deal and what he wants, he is also waiting on Adelaide to offer him a deal. Whats the status of Daniel Alessi will he fill that 4th choice centre back spot? Or does he go after someone like a Taylor Regan or Poscoliero as 4th choice?

Dont think Kanta or Poljak will be resigned, unless Poljak gets his australian citizenship.

Also who do we sign to take Hoole's spot, talks of Austin, not sure if there is any thing to it.

I would sign Lewis italiano as competition for Jack Duncan, think he can push for the number one spot.

So we have room for 2 visa players, one at 6, need an Isaias-esque type of player. And then a number 10, however we need to sign a chinese player also, unless we can get rid of Kokko some how, and in saying that do we take a risk on a Corey Gamiero if he gets released?

There is some quality coming off contract, like Holosko, Ninkovic, Castro remains to be seen whether or not we can afford them.

Didn't he wear slip ons anyway??

From Baghdad, “I have a very attacking style. I am all about one-touch passing, movement, getting into the pockets and dangerous areas and trying to take shots or make assists.”

New signing Shabow's latest skills. He also plays football.

Isn't there something about an extra visa spot if you sign a player from the Asian federation? Isn't that why we were able to have Ma despite having all other visa spots full already?
