Central Coast Mariners Squad for 2008/09 Season

[fedelta]

but seriously i think we need to sign Ty Owens
i think he has amazing talent, and could go far
in the a-league

How old is he?

 

[skilbeck]

17 i think, a bit young but if he is good enough give him a go

17 i think, a bit young but if he is good enough give him a go

Yeah, he's worth a try

Yeah, he's worth a try

The HAL youth league will be going ahead in season 4 so we will need a lot more .....

 

[Andy]

Heard yesterday that Tommy is on his way Tardistan on a two-year deal.

Not confirmed yet, but has been mentioned a couple of times since Caceres signed for us.

Does that mean we get to see 2 games on matchday or will it be played at different times??

Hope its 2 games

Wonder who we'd sign to replace him???

I know Sarkies is off-contract and isn't probably going to get another.

 

[skilbeck]

Apparently Felipe is too, but out of those 2 id go for Sarkies, We'd have to compete with GCG and NT for them I guess and Felipe is likely to piss off and never be seen again

 

[ryan]

i'd take Felipe for sure and I have heard very good things about Ty Owens so hopefully he will be added to the squad

 

[boony26]

tom pondeljak is off to victory. is on the news n internet

 

[skilbeck]

Im just thinking would the combined wages of Tommy and Gumps equate to that of say Ty Owens and Fred or some other good 200k+ player. Because thats my suggestion

 

[northernspirit]

Fred is not coming back
we should be looking at some overseas based Australians in lesser leagues like Romania, Poland etc...

 

[skilbeck]

Im sure every Australian expat has been considered by every A League side when they are short on players in a position. The only thing i can see would be a loan deal for Oliver Bozanic because he isnt getting much experience at Reading, though when they get relegated to the championship this might change and then again I dont know if Bozanic is a suitbale playmaker or just a winger. Maybe this is where Lawrie and Lyall are looking at Asian players. But I reckon we should budget 200k+ and sign Ty Owens as replacements for Tommy and Gumps and who knows we might get lucky and wont have to spend that much

 

[northernspirit]

Well Asia would be good to tap into, and probably not too expensive from some parts too

 

[kevrenor]

The Persek Kediri left back from the last ACL might be a good support for Heff, and he had some pace too!

id only buy a fullback that can play on both sides though

 

[fedelta]

There's bound to be some decent players in the MLS.
No A-League clubs have really considered USA have they?

bozanic is getting experience at reading. i dont know how he isnt...
i think they are loaning him to a lower division team...im assuming its a bit better than reserves and that they dont think he is ready for premier league yet. i know they are being careful with their timing of introducing him into the EPL. he did, however, get a few runs with their 1st team during trials and managed to carve up... scored a goal that ended up being offside and then scored another that got deflected by a striker, and the striker got the goal on his name.

i dont think he will come back to the a-league any time soon. i could b wrong tho, id love to see him playing for us.

agreed. buying a specialist LB just to cover heff is a little silly and just a waste. the only reason he got injured this time was because of Ufukurself Talay's tackle.
