Good depth signing in my IMO ...think he will flourish under arnie ...rated him when we lost the scum but hasn't done much at Sydney like old mate bridge ...still think we need an out and out striker but the $$ just isnt there ...blood bernie I say ...so damn keen wish it was October already

 

[Forum Phoenix]

On a budget price. I'm happy.
Musialik seems to flourish when well supported in a strong system like ours.
and the scummers don't like it ;D

Funny Garlo, for mine, we have the best strike force we have ever had beginning a season.

Love our squad. Love our coach. Love our system. Love how we play.

LOVE MY MARINERS!!!

Ohhh Phoenix no doubt it's the strongest it's been for a while! Think Bernie will be a real force and hopefully kwas continues his super sub streak ...but certainly wouldn't turn down a high quality steiker

 

[shipwreck]

Once again all the talk is of unproven players being signed for Heart and Adelaide, never mind that we blitzed the comp last year and have an even stronger squad with more time to gel under the new system.....


Go MARINERS!!!

 

[mickeverton]

HE IS A JOKE.,

Unproven players at Adelaide?

May want to go and check their roster again.

 

[MagpieMariner]

I said before I didn't rate him and didn't want him. However, now we've got him, so it's in the best interests of the club for we fans to give him all the support we can.
Now he's with us, we WANT him to play well.

 

[nikko]

a)The Mariners have no money for a Marquee signing.
b)Hutch and hi sfamily are settled in Chins he wont be back until well after the season has started!

are you been stalking Hutcho wife on facebook

+1

They are putting together an amazing squad.

 

[shipwreck]

Yeh but thats the entire point, they are unproven as a squad, we've all seen "great squads" get put together and seen poor results, Perth, Gold Coast even Sydney yet they don't perform as a team.

A champion team will always beat a team of champions, I believe the Mariners are a champion team and consider Adelaide "unproven" as a unit

 

[garlo]

Just having a lurk of Josh roses twitter ..in a Conversation he is having with Anthony Mitchell from glory ..Mitchell asks how Griffs lil bro is doing ..then tonight I see Brent griffiths with rostyn, pasfield, macdonald and pellegrino at terrigal pub ...trialling with us or signed in youth ?? Anyone heard anything ?

I agree that AU has made some very impressive signings.
On paper they are serious force - and you would think quite likely it will translate to the field. For me Coolen seems to know what sought of players he's after and so they will likely have a squad more suited to his brand of football this season you would think.
Last year, I commented several times that they looked like a hot and cold "flare" team.
But Coolen had all but no pre season, and inherited much of his squad...
So this year will tell all. If he fails with a squad like that. he's rubbish as far as I'm concerned.

But shipwreck is still bang on the money I believe.
Watching CCM vs Celtic was a real testimony of this for mine.
We held our own in a way I honestly did't think we could. We just look so wonderfully organised. And you simply have to build that, you can't get it on loan, transfer or even buy it. I'm not sure Coolen is as clear in his philosophy/system as Arnie, but we're certainly going to find out.

Fair enough.

Buit IMO its the best built squad the A-League has seen with a very good mix of players. If Rini can coach then they should sweep all before them.

Not only AU.... PG has signed heaps of talent [coah is more the issue maybe ?] ... so to has MV signed well ... me thinks this year the overall level of the A-League has stepped up a notch or two... even the Flying Circus [aside from letting Danning go] look like they have improved, Scum as well hughly improved squad from last year... Only the Nix's & Fold seem weaker ... however the Fold have a very young squad and this could mean a steller year or they fall apart... the Nix's well it simply money and will the owner save himself from his ceditors....

Amen. Good Post

 

[cbowden9000]

Anyone know what number Musialik will be?

 

[cbowden9000]

Nevermind, he must be 13. It's the only free number.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Nevermind, he must be 13. It's the only free number.

Hope he's not superstitious!

 

[tsd]

so which of our loaned mariners is Musialik's signing to cover the loss off? hutch (like for like) or wilco (grif to CB)?
