IIRC the only other player we've ever signed for 4 seasons was Erik Paartalu. 4 years is a big commitment from both parties, but I'm not against the club trying to build some consistency into the squad.

Embee Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Excellent signing, as Nate said, you aren't going to get many Australian left backs better than him at this level. Pleased with the 4 year contract too, will be easy enough to move him on if things don't go as planned (see Big Erik) and if he kills it and wants to head back overseas we'll make some coin off of a free transfer. Get a solid VISA CB in now and on paper we're looking like having a very solid back four for the first time ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovan Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 51 minutes ago, japiedog said: glancing over his previous track record..... one season is probably tops He was 3 seasons at Adelaide 2 seasons at Sydney 3 at Glory and 1 at the Wanderers and then tried his luck in Sweeden. This alone without watching him play says that he is solid at A League level but not good enough for Europe. At 28 I think he will be an improvement on Rose and alongside Jakobsen Franjic and the mysterious right footed latino CB we will have a very solid starting back four. Good work and a good signing.

I can't see why he's considered by some unlikely to stay for several seasons. His record is pretty good. Missed most of 2013/14 with a ruptured achilles tendon, but otherwise he's played consistently. Disciplinary record OK - never had a red card as far as I can see. Sound signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I remember him giving away plenty of fouls. He seems to have a bit of mongrel about him, which is exactly what we need down back. Rose, Tongyik and Franjic are all pretty passive blokes. With Jakobsen and Jamieson we have a tougher backline with a bit of aggression, which should count for something. He is an upgrade on Rose and can cross quite well. Couldn't be happier with this signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a balanced squad. The only caveat I guess is whether we are playing a back 3 or 4. Rose was good in a back 4 but terrible in a back 3, dunno about Jamieson. Don't have to worry about petrol, I have a Tesla Model S. 700km still takes 7 hours though Edited July 3, 2017 by belaguttman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Fantastic signing, someone who we know is aleague standard playing at left back. Cahill will also enjoy having someone who is able to cross a ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playmaker Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Rose should have stayed. Was solid playing a traditional LB role and probably on way less money.

But Rose couldn't pass properly, in pressure situations too many turnovers due to either bad control or bad passing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 So it looks like Wazza has decided that Jammo is a winger not a fullback. Must say I'm surprised no one else has commented on it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is still a left back, he went on a winger cause fitzy needed a break and not to disrupt the back 4 I think that's all Wazza said he didn't start cause he has hardly trained since WSW game So can't read too much into it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
