Newcastle United Jets 2013/2014 Squad thread

[Grimario]

Fair enough. Having played for the National team he must have some quality. I wonder how Adam Taggarts Stats compare. Not many goals or appearances for tags in the previous 2-3 years before the breakout season.

2014/2015 Newcastle Jets A-L ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
2013/2014 Newcastle Jets A-L 2147 25 25 0 9 0 16 3 0 0
2012/2013 Newcastle Jets A-L 887 19 9 10 3 10 2 0 0 0
2011/2012 Perth Glory A-L 68 4 0 4 0 5 0 0 0 0
2010/2011 Perth Glory A-L 231 6 2 4 1 4 1 0 0 0
Total 3333 54 36 18 13 19 19 3 0 0

Also 10 games, 3 goals at various international levels.

I assume Montano has played some sort of youth or reserves football... that's what Taggart was doing before he joined us.

[Grimario]

Think hes got 18 goals in 44 games

That's for us. 10 games, 1 goal when at Perth before he joined.

So thats 19 goals in 54 appearances for Taggart and 9 in 47 for Montano. Not too dissimilar

[The Dunster]

I agree. I think he is going to struggle physically and won't get game time before getting a loan move back here before heading to South Korea like do many A-League player who left too early before him like Djite, Burns, Brosque, Ruka, bulut etc

Hope I'm wrong. I want to be wrong. I just hope he applies himself, trains hard and realised the hard work isn't over. He hadn't made it yet and it's simply the next step.

Nathan Burns claims that the reason he struggled overseas was that he actually went too late. The same could be said of the others you have mentioned.

It's tough to call though.

16 goals in 25 this season. Compared to 8 goals in 27 LAST season, none in 5 since his return to Barcelona this season.

Lets let his performances for us dictate over his 'stats'

[Grimario]

Agreed... but my point remains, Taggart has a far more impressive recent history

[borat]

16 goals in 25 this season. Compared to 8 goals in 27 LAST season, none in 5 since his return to Barcelona this season.

The 2 years Montano spent in Europe for Gent, presumably playing reserve team football, didn't do his career an awful world of good. Something Tags may well encounter at Fulham.

Rumour over at 442 is that the Spanish player was Javier Baraja.

Could fit, played 5 seasons of La Liga, 4 seasons segunda with Real Valladolid since 2005.

Was released by Valladolid 27th May 2014, so he'd be a free agent.

Interesting point they mention.

[borat]

So big Phil in the paper today saying they are not going to sign another striker.

Nailed on to play 433 or 4213 now

[Premy]

I'm inclined to think that Barresi would be a contracted NYL player and we could still sign 3 more.

[Jeterpool]

I think Taggz can come off the list.

Also there are a large number if players off contract next year. We could be in line for a massive squad change to bring in Phil's players.

Haha yep done.

So potentially room for 4 signings.

[Tommyjet]

So stubbsy on the news saying we after another striker, a winger and a midfielder. Must mean Goodwin and/or carney gonna be used at lb imo. Bit surprised about the winger part but I hope it's quality rather than another squaddie

Could be for the right?

[Tommyjet]

Could be for the right?

Right side- griff? Hoole, virgili
Left side- carney, Goodwin

Am I missing anyone?
If not then I spose another winger would be necessary

I thought Griff may have been played centrally or off the bench.

However, the way Stubbins is talking, we aren't looking at a LB, so Carney or Goodwin at left back makes more sense. Unless of course Stubbins is going to retain Gallaway there.

I think we have enough "back up" players so I hope the players we are looking at are first team quality. The Nick Ward trialling doesn't fill me with great confidence.
