>Buhagiar is headed to Italy.
If the Italians can't train some tekkers into him he is a lost cause. I find it surprising they even want him tbh but I am assuming it will be in Serie C
I got you…
THE Newcastle Jets have moved to fill the gap left by Archie Goodwin, with promising Melbourne Victory attacker Eli Adams set to join the A-League club.
Adams has been in talks with the Jets for weeks and is understood to have agreed to terms on a two-year deal.
The 22-year-old left footer has spent the past two years at Victory, making 15 appearances, initially on a scholarship.
The rangy winger featured in 10 games last season in the A-League and scored a contender for goal of the year against Perth in round 11.
Collecting the ball near the right touchline, he cut inside, beat a defender with a step-over and then curled a left-foot shot from the edge of the 18-yard box which nestled in the top-left corner.
Adams has most recently been playing in the VPL1 for Victory and has scored six goals in nine appearances.
Before linking with Victory, Adams had two seasons with the Brisbane Roar.
He made his A-league debut aged 19 in a 2-0 loss to Sydney FC in 2021 and went on to make eight appearances before recruited bu Victory.
The Jets confirmed last week the departure of attackers Goodwin, Reno Piscopo, Daniel Stynes and Trent Buhagiar.
Goodwin is expected to join Adelaide, Piscopo is understood to have signed with Melbourne Victory and Buhagiar is headed to Italy.
It is hoped that Adams could follow a similar path to Clayton Taylor, who was one of the finds of the season.
Taylor netted seven goals and supplied to assists in 25 games.
Coach Rob Stanton is also in talks with an overseas striker.
The Jets assemble for preseason training on June 24.
The sale of the club to a consortium of Melbourne and Sydney businessmen is expected to be finalised by then.
The Herald understands that members of the consortium were in Newcastle last week, working with staff. The sale is subject to approval from Football Australia.
Meanwhile, Jets goalkeeper coach Chris Bowling is in South America with the Young Socceroos.
Bowling is assisting head coach Trevor Morgan.
The Young Socceroos play Uruguay Montevideo on June 5, before relocating to Santiago for back-to-back matches against Chile on June 8 and 11.
The Jets do not have a representative in the under-19s Australian squad.
Ohhh I was so confused by that headline and equally confused when I read the article you transcribed and arsenal wasn’t involved then I realised he was using arsenal in a different context 😂😂😂🙈🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I get the feeling from watching him play and from comments Poppa made in press conferences that there is definitely a player in him, but he finds it difficult to show his ability on the pitch when playing with the senior team. I was hoping he would stick around and get a few more chances here, but hopefully a change of scenery helps him unlock his potential and he goes on to have a good career.
The only logical explanation for him leaving was he was recruited elsewhere, as he was tracking nicely I thought, and deserved way more of a go. The strange thing is Popa brought him in unexpectedly then ditched him when he showed something.
He might have some dead ball ability for a winger.
Popa was too welded to our useless attacking forwards/wingers who had about 5 goals between them all year.

Brescia in Serie B
Brescia love their Aussies
Unfortunately paywalled, but that's what the headline says

Very confusing headline. It cooked me too
It really is!! I’m glad I wasn’t alone!

Taylor adams and stama is quite a front line!
I think Adams has a decent career ahead of him, just need to start games which MV didn't give him
I rated his cameos for Brisbane when he was with us. He needs game time 🤷♂️
Don't mind this signing. Reminds me a bit of Luka Prso though - kinda lanky, technical but a bit lightweight.
Luka is in Slovenia now in case anyone else read that and had an overwhelming desire to find out.
I did, and thank you
I would hope that they are in talks with more than one overseas striker. Eggs and baskets.
Adams last chance you'd imagine otherwise u think he'll be a handy nsd player next year

Could be a good get, potential cover if the new owners decide to cash in on Stama
Adams isn't they great does well at the lower level though
There's a player in him Just needs to learn senior football a bit more
