2011/2012 Player thread

[Fishsdad]

Really pleased McGlinchey is contracted through next season - a little while ago he was lookng to move back to the northern hemisphere. Does anyone know whether he is happy to stay with us, or is he still yearning to leave? (It'd be a real shame if he did leave, he has been right up there this season).

Looking at that squad Gallagher, Sainbury & Ibini-Isei , have been signed from the youth team I wonder about Duke...

Gallagher and Sainsbury were already under contract; Bernie is the only one this year to have been promoted. The truth is that we have very few options to sign more players unless contracted players move on. This off-season is off to a good start in that we have already had Perez move on - creates space to sign another and refresh the squad.

If Amini is not snapped up by German champion-elect Borussia Dortmund at the end of his current trial with the Bundesliga giant, then he will be anointed as the Mariners new No.10

McGlinchey----2012

When I asked McGlinchey he said he signed a new 2 year deal

 

[Woodsy]

Great to hear about McGlinchey re signing for Mariners. This was a question i posted on here a few weeks back as it was of interest to me long before now. Can i ask why the fans are not made aware of these things as they happen ??? Very poor communication from the club if you ask me...Of course we all want to know who is staying with us and how long for..

You're right - my dyslexic fingers at work again!!

 

[tsd]

So what do we do without our 2 epic playmakers? Look for another one to keep our system or rely more on our wide players and sign a striker?

 

[scottmac]

We need another playmaker and a striker.

 

[shipwreck]

Agree with TSD, we need to replace one of them, altho I have a depressing feeling that due to budget issues we won't and Hutch/Griff will start along-side this season

Hope we can keep Olly a bit longer too, im sure he is itching to get back to Europe

Dunno about that, he has just got himself a house. Although.... ???

I wonder why? - regular first team football at the Mariners, in the national team spotlight, or warming the pine at some Euro club that doesn't give a damn?

+ loves Arnie and just bought a house.

duke is playing (and scoring) for blacktown. does anyone know about this in any more detail?- good or bad in terms of us signing him? the guys clearly very very talented and id be signing him up on a senior contract asap if we havent already. seems much better than other players already on contract.

 

[someguy]

so is matt lewis actually now i look at it- any news on him also?

 

[Marquee]

I think Duke has some of the characteristics of a winger and that could land him a spot. If Arnie goes with the 4-3-3 some have speculated about then he could well be a backup for the left and right wide positions in the front three. His pace is the main benefit there.
