    Actually, Classic Jets would be to sign Ledley but not being able to play him because we forgot about the Visa rules.

    Neither Davies or Mutch are with Carl's player agent of choice - so I'd be surprised if they came here unless they defect to another agency.

    I doubt that is gonna be an absolute prerequisite when signing players, some will definitely come in from outside of Baldwin's mob

    Plague is gonna be devastated if he ever comes back. Lustica has signed with Western United. Although, with that club looking like it's gonna fold sooner than us, he might still be able to see him throw on our jersey in the near future.

    Bobby was the reason that Bobby wasn't playing. Not Ernie. You can't expect a coach to sub a fullback at halftime or 60 mins each week, that's a waste of a sub.
    Still disagree with Burns not acclimatising to a 30+ degree temperature rise as being solely a fitness issue. Speculating I could say part may have been a psychological barrier, but it did take him time to acclimatise to 30-40 degree temps (he's probably used to 25 being a heatwave up that part of the world). That said, he was ready to play long before he got the chance to, fitness alone isn't a believable reason why Burns wasn't getting picked under Ernie - suddenly Deans comes in as coach and he's fit then but not while Ernie was still coach?? He also wouldn't be the only younger player who's ever got pulled before a match ended because they've run out of puff, don't think it's as easy as not being fit, Ernie would even use him as a sub...

    The other part of him not being picked is the fact that he's still not great. He's not bad going forward, but isn't great defensively at all. Same as Millar. Ernie was also probably biased against him after using a visa spot on a kid who took longer to get fit/acclimatise than some 30+ yr olds from the same part of the world. I can't blame him either. I'm hoping O'Toole gets a run soon and can do both parts of the job. Losing Vujica and George in the same window was terrible squad management from all involved.

    Vujica asked to leave pretty much because Ernie had frozen him out when he was our best LB

    Jones
    Merrick
    Rudan

    THERE IS A PATTERN HERE I NOTICING

    The bloke is too small and not quick enough at this level to play left back

    That is something you continue to ignore

    I disagree hugely as I also do with Burns. Johnny K is tall and quick but is rubbish at fulback as was Jackson

    This is what it feels like to be wrong

    3 coaches all reject Vujica. Must be a reason why. I am going to throw up he offers neither size or speed in his role as reasons

    Refute them all you like

    Burns is also garbage . Cost us a goal last week because he got owned by Kamau of all peopke. Whips in 30 crosses a game that look well flighted but do not find our attackers so are pointless. Can't even run 90 mins out FFS

    Johnny K ain't a left back and should never have been there in the first place. Much better suited at RB put for some reason Merrick persisted in leaving him at LB

    I ain't saying he a right back either. I think Right CB is his position he much better suited there at RB than LB

    As for Jackson
    Bloke looks like he in a 3 legged race with 3 left legs when playing left back in an attacking sense. He stifles attacks because he offers nothing going forward. His ability defensively though at LB isn't an issue. He for the most part sticks to his man pretty good at LB. Plenty of times he been played up against a Barbarousis type and he has marked them out of the game. Every now and then he got caught out of position at Left Back. But that ain't that much of a surprise when it is part of his game at Centre Back also
    He ain't an ideal solution at LB but he the best option of these 4 by a lomg way

    " His ability defensively though at LB isn't an issue. He for the most part sticks to his man pretty good at LB ".


    I will have some some of that shite you smok'n member ,You clearly forgotten the start of last season where Bert was playing Jackson at LB and was not even on the same continent as his opponent. He was terrible at LB and was on the end of similar criticism Johnny K was subject to at the start of this season.

    The start of last season seen Bert's selections questioned week after week and one of those positions under scrutiny was the continued selection of Jackson at LB. Bert tried both Jackson and Johnny K in position and both stunk in it.

    He played about 5 games there

    No he wasn't anywhere close to the criticism Johnny K got

    You making out that this is some ideal choice
    It like picking between Aids Cancer Hanging with Gypos etc as your form of death.
    They all suck

    Just as if I picking Right Back

    I would play Hoff Boogaard Johnny K there before that Gypo Miller gets a run
