2017/18 Squad Thread

[parksey]

Next you be getting turfed out of Hunter Stadium because you drop the f bomb when Hoffman crosses it out for a goal kick

lost it

[MFKS]

Nah.
It was a joke about sex dolls.

Ohh it that bad a joke I didn't notice

For a bloke who is usually a funny guy your jokes lately have been honking bad just like the Jets

You feeling alright buddy??

[plague]

Ohh it that bad a joke I didn't notice

It wasn't 'for' you.
It was 'about' you.

Hope you appreciate the difference.

Good day.

Hongquan Jiang a right back from Chinese Super League team Yanbian Funde will be off contract in November. Probably not ideal though I guess.

I hope we don't get anyone from Ledman FC - because going through their roster it looks like the average bio reads over 30 years old, can't score goals, and has had at least one major season ending injury throughout their careers.

Pretty much a done deal then I guess.

Wow... someone actually talking about our squad in the squad thread. ****ing off-season.

Pedro Morales 32 year old Attacking Midfielder. Has been capped for Chile at senior level, scores goals, and most recently played for Vancouver in the MLS where he had 95 appearances for 29 goals and 12 assists.

In ten seasons he's only missed 20 games due to injuries - and he has not missed a game since a 5 game lay off from a calf injury in 2015.

Did I mention that this bloke is a midfielder that actually scores goals ? Also very handy with free kicks.
We'd only need him for a year - so his age should not be a factor.

looks a really good option. Would be interesting to see if he's the sort of player we would stump up enough money for.
Would he be interested in leaving the Chilean league considering he only just moved back there? Also in the unlikely event he does come, he plays as a no. 10 - what about Brown and Dimi?

Brown is an 8. Not a 10 and Dimi im pretty sure has played most of his career on the flanks so not sure where Merrick gets the number 10 Dimi stuff from

[furns]

Agree Brown is an #8 but was rarely played there. Hopefully Bernie deploys him where he is most effective.
Morales would be a great pickup. Playing him in behind a front three of Nabbout, Dimi and O'DonkeyVan and thats looking quite tasty. Shame it will probably never happen.

I'd say Morales left Vancouver because he refused to play for a team that would sign a John West tuna eating f-wit like Bernie Ibini.

Morales was on $US1.4m in 2015 and $US1.26m in 2016. But considering Vancouver Real Estate prices make Sydney look cheap the club could probably snag him for $US1 million or thereabouts playing the lifestyle / affordable city card.

Lucky Merrick has watched the guy play then coz you obviously haven't. Dimi played pretty much all his Brisbane football as a 10. The likes of Borello Broich Oar and Arana were their wide players . The bloke is a 10

Oh I'd argue that having Broich and Corona in that team meant that even though he stood up near the striker he was no where near the teams creative player, which I'm assuming we all mean by a #10 right?

Only times Dimi played Central was CM during his last season at the Roar

[The Dunster]

Song Jin-hyung is off contract at the end of June.

Make the call Griffo and bring him back home to Newcastle.

Playing in a 33k capacity stadium is the ****ing problem

Should never have built Stade de Newy so ****ing big
25k would have sufficed

The money spent making the two stands so ****ing large could have been better spent on doing smaller stands and having the cash to do the ends of the ground up

But no

Not in Newy
