Any chance of back to Middlesbrough back in the EPL?

[JoyfulPenguin]

Perth seem to have strengthened the most so far though I think Vadocz and Sandor are a big loss. Adelaide signing a promising bunch to replace their last promising bunch it will be interesting to see how they go. Victory are looking substantially weaker they desperately need some quality signings.

 

[Rowdy]

Arnie & Poppa, neck & neck for this seasons BtB Award.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Victory linked with a segunda division defensive midfielder/centre back. If he performs like the other Spaniards signed from there he could be a good and most likely cheap option for them.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Reddy to Glory story broke on 442.

Lucky them.

 

[dibo]

Local pubs are cheering.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Always good to have a toxic bully in the squad.

 

[sydmariner]

How many "last chances" does a player get ffs.

 

[Rowdy]

Liam Reddy sometime in the future .....

"Hey Grandson, did you know your Grandpa holds a record in Australian Footballing history"

"No, what record's that Grandpa ?"

"Being told to #FCUK-OFF by Seven different A-League clubs, one more than Isaka Cernak"

"At least your remembered for something GrandDad "

Jets snap up promising young keeper:

Newcastle Jets have snared a coup in 23-year-old goalkeeper Jack Duncan from Norwegian club Randers FC as they bolster their goalkeeping stocks for the 2016/17 season.

Duncan is ready to hit the ground running and is already gunning for Birighitti's number one jersey.

“I feel like I am definitely ready to become the number one and that’s definitely what I have come here to do,” Duncan said.

“I don’t want to be sitting on the bench.”

“It will be healthy competition between us going through pre-season and battling for the number one spot. It’s exciting, it’s good, it will challenge both of us and hopefully make us both better.”

Newcastle Jets head coach Scott Miller was pleased with his addition, that continues his philosophy of nuturing young talent.

“Jack is another player we have added to our squad who fits our requirements in terms of age and attributes,” Miller said.

“From our discussions with Jack it is very clear that he has returned determined to establish himself as a number one in the Hyundai A-League, and this is fantastic for us because we also have another very capable goalkeeper at the club in Ben Kennedy.”

“Across our squad we are building competition for places."

[Big Al]

He's no Ivan

 

[Wombat]

Kennedy is better than Izzo and Ivan FFS.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Shane Cansdell-Sherrif announced his retirement from English football and is returning to Australia will be interesting to see where he ends up.

 

[Rowdy]

We still need another quality CB imo & could be handy if Faty fails to fire or falls into periods of 'fcuk-ups' (which he had whilst at SydFC).

Sherrif would provide good mentoring to the younger players with his experience gained in the gritty lower leagues.

Still would prefer Gallifuoco on a 2-3 year deal though, think he could become the next Sainsbury for us to $ell on & has the abillity to play at DM with a style similar to Jedinak in that position.

win - win.
