Mark Bridge for Zadkovich? What a joke! :lol:
This could cream the Sarkies for Kemp trade as being the stupidest transfer ever!

As if Newcastle need any more wing-back/wingers in their squad :roll:


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Ruben Zadkovich to newcastle [RUMOUR]?

Have your say.

Well Bridge has been linked to SFC for a while now.

As for Zadkid....take him!!!!!

Yeah, let Zcrapkobitch go!

Zkid is not that bad to be perfectly honest. Just a bit of a hot head and under his last 3 managers that has been encouraged by their mentalities. Under Gary van Egmond I am sure he will cool down and play with his head and stop with the stupid challenges. He is not an Olyroo for no reason guys. His 1st touch and running down the wing are both very good and as he matures his discipline should improve and he will improve as a player.

Running down the wing is one thing...doing nothing with the ball after that is another. The amounts of times he has totally screwed the final ball or lost possession when someone like Brosque is totally open is astounding.

About the same number of times McFlynn has. Santa did it for his first few games as well. He is young and will improve. He is not an Olyroo for no reason. I just don't think our style of play suits him. If he had of been playing in Season 1 he would have done better.

comparing zad kid to mcflynn is like comparing apples and pears, mcfylnn is a DEFENSIVE mid hence he isnt there to put the magic ball through to the forwards or make great runs down the line, he's there to tackle and stop there good players, zad kid on the other hand is there to do the magic runs and magic passers, santa is a forwrad once again diffrent position, yes he is an olyroo but our depth isnt great,

All 3 have been played on the wing this year hence why the comparrison was used.

yes they all have but they are all diffrent players, u cant expect mcflynn to do magic runs down the line for example,

Like you can't expect Zdrilic to score :p

To be honest i haven't been that impressed by bridge for a striker he dosn't score anywere near enough , but in saying that id take him for ruben red puben any day , old rubie has improved of late but he still does the 1 good thing then stuffs up straight away

Huh? Zadkid did play in Season 1

Barely. He was a bench player. I meant if he was a starting player. Should have clarafied.

well he did rock up half way through the season in season 1 and we where winning so it was always going to be hard for him to get into the starting 11, plus he would have been 18/19 maybe pierre thought he might be too young to start,

He would have fitted in then better though.

not if was too young and pierrie thought u couldnt handle it,

So a coach has never made a mistake before :roll: Just because the coach percieved him as not ready does not mean he isn't. Example Patafta this year.

diffrent league champ as in patafa is way better then what zad was at that age, zad was strugglign to get a gig in qpr res's, kaz is one of oz's hottest talents, yes of casue coachers have made mistakes, i dont think he made a mistake when it came to zad in season 1 i didnt think he was ready having wacthed him in training/when he came off the beach,

TBH I reckon he was but either way it is time for Zad to move on.

I couldn't agree more. I think Zadkovich would become a more developed player under dutchy. Look what he's done for Tarek Elrich who still has alot of work to do, but has improved out of sight.

And Bridge has skill but has really dissapointed this year. He had a sensational year last year when he had Nick CARLE and Milton providing balls to him. Sydney style wouldn't suit Bridge as I they don't have the midfield to suit his game.

bridge has not had the best season but that may be because the jets are all focused on getting the ball to griffiths and not thinking twice about brige

yer not too impressed with a bloke who has only scored 3 goals this year hopefulyl he is just saving them for sydney,

1) good in the air.................Nope
2) good dribbler...................Nope
3) good in defence.................Nope

Hey! I just thought he does have a few things going for himself:

bad temper................................YES
loses the plot a lot......................YES
gets send-off often.......................YES
has punch-ups at training with Ian Fife...YES
Arnie and Fossie like him.................YES

After the last line, I pass [-(

and you forgot "Smarmy........yes"

Allow me to disagree.

Zadkovich gives the impression of a good dribbler but he's not. He tries to do oversteps and outsteps but almost always loses the sequence and gets completely tangled up.

One aspect of good vision in football, IMHO, is, knowing when to and when not to do certain things on the field. Making constantly the wrong decisions and taking the wrong options I don't think is a sign of good vision.

As for being lightning fast, maybe you're right. Maybe is the way he runs, I don't know, but he gives the impression that he's not as fast off the mark as he probably is over 100 metres.

Anyway, he is the type of player you wish he played for the other team, because he's always a chance to stuff up somewhere and give the opposition some advantage.

LOL

looks unco-ordinated when he runs...........YES

Probably one the hardest working players off the ball
