A New Marquee

[ccmariners21]

Eguardo,
He would be cheap. Might be fit for next season. :-\

 

[northernspirit]

if we *weren't* to sign juninho, who should we sign?

could be something out of left field, someone like younas mahmood from the iraq team... not a massive name but one hell of a player, would rip it up in the a-league

 

[skilbeck]

What sort of fifa ban would be on Mahmood?

 

[northernspirit]

fifa ban? dont know anything about that, maybe im getting the name mixedup - the striker from their asian cup team - tore teams apart

 

[Tassiemariner]

Younas Mahmood is on alot of money in Saudi Arabia IIRC.
Still i'd love to get somebody from an quarter final or better asian cup team.

Totally agree, their are many great players in asia with no name, lets watch the asian cup closely, and we might find one.
I totally agree that we need a attacking player, more of a creater than a scorer. As Sasho is a good poacher and Matty Simon I think will really shine.
Nik Mrdja is he stays fit, will be the best striker in the league i believe, but thats if he stays fit.

It's about time Ryan Giggs retired from the manc scum and came down here.

 

[MattSimon]

Yes we need a striker. Me and Sash just won't cut it. How about Joel Griffiths?

[MattSimon]

How about the other Griffiths brother? Isn't there one who isn't a twin, doesn't punch nuts and is actually a good bloke knockin about in Europe somewhere?

I don't think his mother likes him, rotten little c**t

I think we should spend our Marquee money on bring a decent referee to the A-League.

hear hear!!!!! I'm all for that!..... one that doesn't cheat would be nice!...

I'm thinking Viduka would be a good Marquee player to take Johnnys place.....
he knows what to do in front of goals.... the only thing that bothers me, is he could be a little slow... but I think he is getting fed up with sitting on the bench in the Uk, and may like to return home?...
And he would be good for when we go to Asia...

yes Viduka would do me fine....

Viduka won,t come back yet but when he does he,ll go to Melbourne I reckon.

 

[~Floss~]

If you're gonna have one player who the opposition see as a standout threat, it needs to be someone quick and mobile so it opens the game up, not someone they'll just climb all over.

I'm leaning towards creative CM being better value than target-man striker or CF

I agree, watching the Asian Cup last year I noticed a lot of players who I believe would be awesome in the A-League. Perhaps not even as a marquee player but they could fill a couple of holes.  I loved watching the style of football Uzbekistan brought to the Asian Cup and a striker such as Maksim Shatskikh from Uzbekistan could be very classy.  I don't know a lot about him or where he is currently playing but just using him as an example of other options that could be considered.

Well he's not good, but the rest of it is right.
