Jets CEO John Tsatsimas today confirmed there was no chance of bringing free agent Troisi into the Newcastle fold because the cash simply wasn't there to pay him.

"At the moment, our cap is pretty much full," he told au.fourfourtwo.com. "There's not much room to move."

The Jets moneyman admitted the club could find the cash if they were to use up their service agreement entitlements - but the club is still firmly opposed to them.

"Our policy is set in stone and we won't divert from that," he vowed. "It's well-recorded and we won't change that unless there is a change in policy at HQ."

But Tsatsimas paid tribute to Troisi and refused to rule him out completely.

"Troisi is a very good player and there's always room for very good players," he said. "But for the moment, I can't see that happening."

The only way Troisi could find a way into the side was if the Jets were to lose a player before the transfer window closes at the end of the week and free up cap space.

Jets skipper Jade North has been linked with a move away from the club, but Newcastle insist they have yet to see an offer in writing.

"With every day passing, the likelihood of Jade going is reducing," he said.

He said the club had heard nothing from any Turkish clubs despite hype about an impending move to Bruce Djite's new club, Genclerbirligi.

"I don't know if there was any contract in the first place," he said. "There was a lot of talk with agents but nothing concrete has come across my desk."

Although the Jets would ideally hope for a like-for-like replacement in the event they do lose North, another Olyroo free agent Mark Milligan is off the club's radar.

Tsatsimas added: "Milligan is a good player but whether he would be a good Newcastle player is another thing. We have to be able to accommodate players."

Along with Troisi and Milligan, fellow Olyroo and former Hereford United fullback Trent McClenahan is also looking for a new club for next season.
