Hmmm I doubt it, They've signed a few players already which would have taken a big chunk out of the salary cap. Unless the N. Burns transfer rumour is true.

Musialik will be in red next year

musialik would be a decent player for sydney, but i agree with a previous post that we need to get another defender

popovic is just to slow and if milligan then we got a big hole to plug.

IIRC Popa didn't actually sign for all that much money. It was around the 150k mark I think (if not less).

With Talay, Zadkovich and Rudan gone we should be okay. Just need to keep McFlynn and Fyfe on a leash. And in terms of injuries, just need to make sure Timpano doesnt break his toe nail and Corica's walking frame is close-by postmatch. :lol:

Nevertheless, as Ive mentioned before in another thread; I wonder if Kosmina will drop Biddle and Tsatallios to the youth team... since unlike their counterparts in Newcastle and Roar, they havent featured much throughout the season past. And if Musialik were to sign, there goes a midfield spot, and a spot in the senior squad for Biddle... (Midfielders would be Corica, Colosimo, Musialik, McFlynn, Middleby, Enfield, Casey)... and if Juninho were to re-sign, Biddle would have to wait till Sydney incur some heavy casualties/fatalities.

yes, it is true that they were having talks to him but i havent heard anything else

Ummm they were their while the forementioned were so it doesn't really matter they are still their ;)

Let Con do what he wants, it's his club..if he seriously believes the lifestyle in Newcastle will keep the players the youth team will have to play twice, the only crowd noise will be from the crickets and GVE will be snatched up by a Eourpen club. Go Con.

They have players like Popivic, Corica, Brosque and Milligan too. I don't know the exact figures but I'd be guessing they're on decent salaries. I don't know about Bolton though, is he still getting paid good money?


If so, they'd have to be very fortunate with injuries and suspensions.


Sounds like the Melbourne Victory title defence all over again :P

i think this is true. musialik definately has rejected jets and now its out of sydney/melbourne. earlier in the year musialik rejected victory because he hates roddy vargas.

the jets need so many positions now, let's hope con can help out dutchy as much as he can financially.

searching the state league could bring some up and coming people for newcastle. some talent that could fit right in if thy look well.

I dunno - I agree that its not the end of the world for newy...but the players we've lost are key to the balance of our side..dura is a key defender that will be hard to replace and we have no depth in this area..stu is a holding midfielder/playmaker that none of the listed potential signings can replace and would be difficult to replace with any player within australia...and bridgey is an up and comer..however less important as the signings we are linked to (ryan griff, ahmad) could somewhat replace his role in the team....but I am worried if we are losing them to sign the players mentioned as the team will have no balance...we can only have so many attackers. I'm worried we're chasing the 'names' rather than keeping the players that would most benefit the squad.

I just think Newcastle fans are going overboard. We lost Carney, Yorke and Pierre within one season. That was basically our team, they were crowd favourites. There will now be funds for Newcastle to buy the like of Elrich and others. I think Newcastle will have a better squad next year...

Yeah about ten years ago!!!! That would be like signing Pele noe cause he was a good player a few years back. Jardel hadn't played for a long time before Newcastle signed him. I just think It's sad to see Newcastle fall apart like this siply because Con refuses to touch the $450,000 in service agreements. Sydney use nearly every cent of it.

You cant expect him to make 100% good calls. What about Joel, was he a bad choice? Or would you like to still have Theo still in charge and have GVE assitant? You can hardly blame him for buying Jardel, who was a European golden boot winner, it isn't entirely his fault that Jardel couldn't fit in(which i think is the major reason we never saw anything from him, not because he lacked fitness).

I think that had more to do with the team and the Coach. Or maybe you liked Con's input with Jardel. Yeah that was a real good call.

Interesting, i think they went okay this year...

Newcastle Needs new owners. Con is destroying the club.

sounds like sydney have a gun side so far itll be interesting to see if all these players can work together

Would be nice to have . . . hope its true.

Exactly. From Zrdilic, Rudan and Talay alone there will be close to 900k available (if the huge salaries of 300k each are to be believed).

Also SFC have publicly stated that they are going for quality over quantity, meaning they will probably only have 20 players in the senior squad. Juninho probably COULD fit under the cap if they really tried.

Everyone keeps saying this and i dont get it. Aloisi is outside of the cap - nothing to do with it. I assume we have lost/dropped Talay, Zdrillic and Renaud, as well as losing Rudan mid-season. At the moment it also looks like Juninho is gone. Thats leaves A LOT of cash to spend on the players we have bought over the last 2-3 weeks.

Colosimo, Popovic, Milligan (at least at the moment) and we still have Fyfe, Tsallios and Timpano dont we? Its not like Musialik can't play as a defender. Im pretty impressed with our backline, its our midfield i'd like to see one or two more signings.

How will all this fit under the cap? It'll be very intersting to see how Sydney pull this one off, if this is true.


Zadkovich, Ahmad Elrich, Ryan Griffiths... there's a few.

every one is rumored to leave newcastle. soon no one will be left. GVE needs to make some good signings siin

Zadkovich..

fark me, who the hell is going to Newcastle.

Interesting. Would be a good signing but I would prefer money spent on the sydney defence.


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Musialik to Sydney [RUMOUR]?

Have your say.
