Central Coast Mariners Squad 2021/22

[Big Al]

Looks like the league won’t start for a while.

We will probably hold off on signing due to cashflow so will probably just have to do with what we have for FFA Cup abs preseason training for a while going on past seasons imo

 

[Stephen Gibson]

Gibbo. WTF are you talking about?

I was say that Jordan muzz was at my work Terrigal beach house couple Months he was say that he was going have trial back central coast Mariner ok mate

 

[FFC Mariner]

I believe that he did train with us for a little while

Great to see that there is still a good relationship there.
His time in a professional environment in India will improve him as a player. Depending on our future squad situation it might be good to have him back one day.

From watching that a proper replacement for De Silva will be an impreative. Nisbet along side an experienced visa attacking midfielder seems the likeliest solution, unless we're willing to back in Balard or another Academy graduate in that creative midfield role?

Seeing as it was reported we made a pretty big offer for Najjarine and lost out to the Wanderers we're clearly in the market for a fairly direct replacement. There doesn't seem to really be any other Australian attacking midfielders on the market at the moment, at least for the quality we are after.

I suppose that's all assuming Monty keeps Staj & Arrante's system in place and from what I have heard from his coaching with our Academy side that seems the most likely.

A foreign 10 seems most likely. But given the season starts at the end of Oct I wouldn't expect the club to finalise till sometime near October if not the same sort of timing as Urena's deal.

I find that Oct 30 date a bit sus. JJ said that the FFA Cup GF would be on a stand alone weekend and that is scheduled for Oct 30. 13-14th Nov are FIFA dates. I think a start date of the weekend of 20th Nov seems likely

I get the impression that the academy teams model their systems on the first team. The benefit is the academy players can step into the 1st team knowing the structure, their roles and responsibilities.

You would think this is determined by the head coach and so there's no reason Monty can't play the system he wants and the academy would likely follow suit next season

I really can’t see that being the case tbh, Monty will no doubt want any key players on board in time for them to complete a full pre-season, not showing up just prior to the season starting (whenever that may be).

That said, it’s not always possible to do what you want to, when you want to, so I guess we will have to wait and see.

Its really irrelevant to what I was getting at. IMO we aren't likely to sign foreign 'big money' players till closer to the kick off date for financial reasons. Its not ideal because you want a full preseason in them

Staj and Monty hardly talked. All requests for Academy players went through Ken.

 

[iggythump]

could do with a few less people like this at the club

I've heard Ken talk about this before, I think on the pod. He said the academy mimics the first team structures for those reasons. But that the philosophy of play is set by the first team head coach and then ripples down the age groups

Goes to show that Staj wasn't the driving force behind our youth stepping up then. Pleased to see those who were responsible for it are still in charge

would you guys take baumjohann at the club? he's left sydney and is keen to stay in the aleague, he would be decent for us i think, although i do expect he will want too much money and therefore not come here, but what do you guys think?

I don't know if he is the right player culturally for us. Whenever he didn't get game time or the team was unsuccessful, at both the Wanderers or Sydney FC, he seemed to respond very poorly. He also had a rather poor defensive work rate across his time at two A-League sides and I don't know if we can carry a player like that especially one that would be expected to be a leader in our side.

 

[booney]

Baumjohann is a very talented attacking midfielder who can put some killer passes through to strikers who play off the shoulders of their markers.As Joyful Penguin has pointed out he is not reknown for his defence and perhaps has attitude problems.Possibly because of these flaws he is not the sort of player Monty would want.However if the club had more money to spend he would be an asset.

Nah. As other have mentioned seems lazy and a bit egotistical. Also seems to get lots of injuries.

Fine to have some ego about you if you're best player going, and we as a fanbase will cop it if you're also the hardest working.
