Geez we missed an opportunity there !
Imagine Dave from Newcastle moving down here, like....
If you compare the rosters holding mids of the perspective clubs, Paartalu makes the most sense at the Jets
Melbourne Victory
Valeri
Milligan
Broxham
Mahazi
Sydney FC
Dimitrijevic
Antonis
Triantis
Grant
Melbourne City
Murdocca
Mooy
Germano
Melling
Western Sydney
La Rocca
Poljak
Trifiro
Perkatis
Jets
Kantarovski
Oxborrow
@NewcastleJetsFC offer former @gomvfc player Billy Celeski a contract, believed to be approx. $125,000. #SST
Linked with Portaloo, end up with Celeski. That's more like the Jets off-season we are expecting!
Soccer Stoppage Time have very little credibility with these predictions. Seems like we have some options which is good with the lure of a starting position that other clubs' can't offer.
Yeah but looking at those teams and their options at DM with the exception of Victree Paartalu would be the best DM by a long way at those clubs so no point ruling them out.
It would be a bit bizarre for Victree to want to sign him considering they have Valeri and Milligan as options on big coin
Thats my point though.
- Victory wouldn't have wasted considerable money on Valeri plus Milligan,
- WSW have used foreign places on 2 holding mids,
- SFC only have 2 spots left (1 earmarked for a marquee and 1 has to be an U21),
- MC have their captain and one of their biggest off season recruits.
Plus if you are Paartulu and walking away from 500k contract only because Ange has told you to play in Aust, you want to be sure to get game time. IMO the Jets are the best fit for both the player and club.
That means he is guaranteed to go elsewhere of course ;-)

For me, Paartalu > Celeski.
However, Celeski is less likely to leave and look to go overseas again unlike, I think, Paartalu. Maybe that's because of his age. Maybe because of his ability. Either way, thats less disruption, more stability and of course not someone we may need to replace midseason.
He's had a significant knee injury in the past I think too.
I guess if we signed him I wouldn't be able to abuse him anymore.
I always liked celeski for some reason, always thought he had a bit to offer. So i wouldnt be unhappy with this signing but i still think paartalu would be better.
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
