I reckon there is a lot worse than Jackson at other clubs in regards to squad position at this point in time. IMO he is a good developer to have around and as seen against that overrated Barbarousis he has a bit of a mongrel take no shit attitude about him. Very rarely gets beat in the air.
To be fair resigning Kanta hasn't ended up being so bad.Originally Posted by MFKS
Who ever Merrick wants to keep im down with. If he keeps cowburn or boogs then ill trust Merrick 100% and the rest of us need to do the same
If keeping Cowburn on food stamps means we fill a min squad requirement and it frees up salary cap space to cash up one of our stars then get at it Middleby.
If he wants any of Joeys or Ugabooga mans money then he can **** off to Europe.
I think he will take Boogaard’s spot from next season
You expect Boogs will leave? Or he will take a step back in role?

[QUOTE=Jeterpool;201361]You expect Boogs will leave? Or he will take a step back?
He won’t take a contract for much less then what we currently have him at, when the central coast and Wellington would probably happily have him and overpay for him.
I expect he’ll take off which is for the better, and we move Jackson to a permanent CB role or we get a more accomplished cb in as his replacement
Oh someone is paying Boogaard that starter money.
It’s just whether Middleby chooses to pay him, or one of the other players chasing an upgrade.
and if we happen to have a cut price replacement sitting there it may make the decision easier.
By the way FFS where is Johnny K?
Middleby OUT.
[QUOTE=Mark325;201364]Were understating his Partnership with Topor which is a big reason were second. I say keep him and if Jackson is good enough and works hard hell get a spot
[QUOTE=StannyCFCJET;201367]A big reason we are second is bedcause of Topor not Boogaard
Boogaard is a ****ing liability and Topor does a great job at covering his arse

It's taken 10 years to get a half decent season out of him
Law of averages and all that
[QUOTE=MFKS;201371]If that was the case we'd concede way more then we have because Topor doesnt have the pace to handle both sides of the defence. You hate and don't rate Boogs fine. Ill even admit he's ****ed up a few times this season marking and what not. But his postives far out way his negatives this season and its about time he got some praise for a good season. The bloke could have a goal line clearance in the last second of the GF and youd still slate him FFS
I expect Boogaard will take a step back, at some other team. Isn’t worth the reported wage he is currently on, and as others have stated, can’t see him sticking around for much less.
The reported negotiations with Nigel are probably a token gesture so the club can say they discussed it.
Just my view. But Jackson needs to be playing regularly next season. I’m hopeful it’s for us rather than against us.
I think you are all way off and Boogs will stay. Always discussed coming back to Newy with his family and finishing his career. I believe he cops enormous amounts of unwarranted criticism on here. I can see him signing at least a years extension.
[QUOTE=StannyCFCJET;201376]The bloke has cost us again and again in his time at the club
Even last gamr his piss poor attempt at marking nearly cost us a goal and it was through sheer luck we didnt conceed
Yeah blokes make mistakes but this bloke makes more than his fair share
Season 1 -2 of Boogaard here we conceeded shed loads
Topor here and it stops
When Topor was here before our defence was much better
When Topor went to WSW therir defence was good
Maybe the common denominator to a good defence is Topor ???
I wouldn't be against seeing him stay. But I would like to see him take a bit of a pay cut to do so - if he really does want to be back in Newy and part of a good team he should be willing to do so to allow the club to free up funds to pay blokes like Pato and Ronny.
When he came we were a shambles and had to pay massive overs to attract people to come here - now people have legitimate footballing reasons to want to be here, not just the bank balance.
If he's serious about wanting to be a part of his hometown club and make them be successful, he should be willing to lose some pay.
I'm sure I read that Brosque was willing to play for minimum wage for Sydney if it helped the club reach their goals.
[QUOTE=MFKS;201394]Topor is fantastic but Boogs is always playing well and you can't argue against that unless you rather say Ernie is getting it wrong every week?
Personally I just can't fathom Jackson and topor playing together on a regular basis. Two left footers in central defense is very rare on a temporary basis let alone as regular partners. In my ideal team next season we either stick with boogs as topors partner or sign a quality right sided partner for topor and make Jackson put pressure on topor and koutroumbis on whoever the rightsided centre back is.
Johnny K isnt seen as a CB under Merrick pretty sure
