Central Coast Mariners Squad for 2008/09 Season

[marinermick]

Reliable.

source or STFU

 

[marinermick]

still light in quality defence IMO

need to sign both a quality stopper and and a fullback to push the others and cover for injuries

 

[bakery5]

at least he not going to sign with another a-league club

he does own land on the gold coast

might be holding out for word on what is happening there

I always though Viddy would go back home to Adelaide eventually. Not happy if he goes back to play a season with them.

. is it just land? does he like camping?

. any type of house he would own is likely to take some time to build - 1 year +

. don't know if he would be the hands-on type

Caceres has scored for Melbourne against the Socceroo's.

What's the latest on Caceres??  Just reading on the Melbourne forum that his signing for us is as good as done........ anyone in the know want to enlighten us as to what's going on??

Bump.

Answers farkin'...... please?!!?

We will need to sign wide players in midfield and defence and no strikers, a complete reverse of last season when all we wanted were strikers.

interesting to see whether there are any aussie scouts at the African Cup? 

I wouldn't mind seeing  a couple of young african players at the mariners

Caceres would be our first South American signing isn't he?

Born in Argentina and played much of his early career there. Wikipedia defines him as Argentine-Australian.

Defender Nigel Boogard, midfielders John Hutchinson, Mile Jedinak and Bradley Porter, and striker Matt Simon all extended their stay at the Gosford-based club until the end of the 2009-2010 season.

Most players at the African Cup of Nations play in france, holland, belgium etc, even if in lower leagues. That said, There is plenty of good african talent. PLenty of great african talent around

 

[FFC Mariner]

Where would African players stand in regard to work permits etc??

 

[Tassiemariner]

Jonas Salley (Ivory Coast) and Malik Buari (Ghana) seemed to get them without a huge controversy.

 

[dibo]

can't see much point unless they're significantly better than locals - simply because there is a limit to OS players for both HAL and AFCCL.

As would be the assumption for all imports.

True. There is a rumour that Michael Bridges might play for them, however I dont think they would pay a transfer fee for him in addition to his >$650,000 salary.

3 million reason's why Aloisi won't be at the Mariners next year,each one a dollar. Off to Japan.

I suspected as much and it would not suprise only disappoint. Japan's better than another A-League club and if he goes hopefully he hates it and comes back to us.
