Wonder if we were one of the clubs to offer, though you would think he would have accepted considering he wants to stay in Sydney/NSW.
ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.
Fixed.Janota 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.
Who is itCan we just rip up someone's contract so we can immediately sign them again so we have someone to announce?!
Come onnnnnnnnn announce already!
Has good talent but is a bit of a softy. Not the worst idea.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?
You are very right-very similar in all waysFixed.
Unfortunately Niz looked out of depth in that AM role when he got his chance. Now that isnt to say dont play him there but he needs a buttload of work. Least of all he isnt a goal scorer which is a key part of what we need there.If Janota didn’t work for us, it is pretty clear Baumjohan wouldn’t either. I expect Monty to be demanding high levels of work rate from our players, given that we will likely need to out-enthuse our opponents in most games.
That will mean finding an AM who has both skill and a big engine, so a big ask. For mine, Nizzy can play that role for us, which would allow us to focus our search on some pace and skill in the winger positions. I would be happy for the club to re-sign Casella and keep Hatch so they can vie for the left side and look at options for the right of midfield.
Plus we still need a good pair of fullbacks to complement our wide mids and I would love Monty to take a look at Noah Smith, who was released by Adelaide. It’s also interesting that there hasn’t been any word on Nigro being re-signed so far.
Won’t be a popular opinion but one I strongly agree withUnfortunately Niz looked out of depth in that AM role when he got his chance. Now that isnt to say dont play him there but he needs a buttload of work. Least of all he isnt a goal scorer which is a key part of what we need there.

Can you imagine Nikita at the front with Marco playing in behind him with palm trees and sauce bottles in the background!Nikita Rukavytsya is now a free agent
I think it's obvious Niz' biggest weakness is goal scoring. Once he gets that right, he will be even better.
Also l concur with getting Munford back as a no.2. Quality player who knows the club and loves it here and is also a terrific bloke
I thought I saw him signed somewhere todayNikita Rukavytsya is now a free agent
Having seen Oli next to him I believe what Oli does is what Niz's best game is. Box to box distributor.Won’t be a popular opinion but one I strongly agree with
