Nick Carle has reportedly transferred from the Newcastle Jets over to Fenerbahçe, one of the top Turkish clubs. It seems the transfer fee was about $600,000 so the Jets should have a bit of extra cash to splash. Fenerbahçe regularly play in the UEFA Champions League, and have recently signed Brazilian star player Roberto Carlos.

Nick Carle impressed playing for Australia against Uruguay and was seen talking to Uruguayan player Diego Lugano who plays for Fenerbahçe after the match. Perhaps he recommended Carle to his club.

It sounds like a great move for Carle, although he will be missed in Newcastle. Lets hope he eventually gets a place in the starting eleven.

The Jets have signed at least three South American players for the 2007/2008 season which should keep us entertained in Nick Carles absence. They are Argentinians Livio Preito a attacking midfielder and striker Jorge Drovandi and Flavio Barros a tall Brazilian striker who seems to know how to use his head to score goals.
