Heff Off To UK Or Greece?

EXCLUSIVE: Mariners flying wingback Dean Heffernan is being eyed by a number of clubs in the UK Championship and at least one big club from the Greek Super League based in Athens.
It's understood that representatives of two clubs will scout A-League matches in the first half of the coming season with Heffernan a prime target. He has two years left on his contract at Bluetongue.

The highly rated former Nurnberg loan signing (2006/7) was called up to the Socceroo squad for the friendly against Argentina in Melbourne last September.

And Heffernan was to be part of Pim Verbeek's Socceroo train-on squad earlier this year before a devastating broken leg late in 2007 put his career on hold.

The free-scoring defender snapped his left tibia during the Mariners' 5-4 loss to Sydney FC days before last Christmas.

The Mariner is working hard to get back to full fitness ahead of the A-League season opener on August 15.

 

[graaant]

Maybe there was more reasoning behind the signing of Dapuzzo then..
Hopefully not the Championship though :S

 

[mariners4ever]

i reckon heff might want to stay on for the ACL

 

[Deej]

Not sure if I believe the Heff rumour, he's been injured, didn't set the league alight in V3 like he did V1 and still has a little way to go to get back to his best.  If he does then I have no doubt he could do a good job in europe.

Heff is quick, fit, he can score......but his crossing is woeful and needs to work on the consistency of his defensive duties!  He would fit better in a 3-5-2 formation IMO, but does a great job at left back at HAL level!

still wondering who the smurfs are talking about going OS who doesn't take up a lot of cap but will leave a big hole.

tbh, that's a few players - jedi would have to be the prime suspect though.

on the flipside 'harsulas' on there is saying we're getting dwight, and he's usually well up on these things.

there's also some talk about a good new keeper being signed - benw and jaza are making concerned noises about how good.

EDIT - i'd be willing to go out on a limb and guess that osman, clark, mrdja and kwasnik are signing on again, though i have to say kwas would be a dark horse for that OS gig. don't laugh (as i'm sure some will), he's scored a lot of goals over the last few years and is a handier player than he gets credit for.

that would take us up to 20 players signed, add dwight and a keeper and we're on 22. that would pretty well wrap it up - i'd imagine a spot would be kept spare for emergencies/opportunities.

Matt Simon after his exploits in the Olyroos games!

while we all love mile and he is my favourite mariner it would not be a massive loss as hutch can cover that position as well, or even porter

bring in yorke and you have the creativity to cover for the loss of tommy

with the wide players you have one kick arse midfield

 

[Deej]

Mile would be a massive loss he is the best defensive midfielder in the comp!  Hutch is no where near his level IMO

Would Yorke want attacking midfielder? Do we want Yorke on our coaching staff? You can bet that he'd be asking for at least 2 years with a view to being in some sort of coaching capacity by next year.

Caceres and Elrich on the wings looks the goods though! Not many good wingers in the comp

 

[soccersensei]

Yep, without Mile we will not enjoy anything like the midfield dominance we enjoyed in many games last season.

 

[graaant]

midfield dominance we enjoyed in many games last season.

Foster would not agree with that.

 

[goingtoadisco]

Fosters is a twat !

Though i respect the guy.

huh???

Well i think most of time i think he has very relavant and good ideas . I like how he pushed for the start of the NYL and the implementation of a more professional coaching structure.

But then again he is a journo and being a journo he sometimes has to talk crap to keep his job. If you dont read some of the rubbish he wrights in the SMH then you might not understand but some of his articles have got him to twat status.

huh?

the FFA did that work, not him.

while they were getting the FFa were doing the hard work on putting the pieces together of the national development framework (including academy structures, coach education and SSGs for the younger kids), he was sniping at them saying we'd never match up to france, holland and brazil unless we developed a national development framework!

they were doing as he asked before he asked for it, but he never gave credit. f**k him.

 

[Bear]

Plenty of huh moments being thrown around this week

Foster may have been for it, but how much?
I'm sick of hearing the man crap on and on about the same f**king thing, week in week out. With his big stupid grin.
I'm glad he likes euro football and wants the A-League to be that, but it's NOT and will never be!

Anyhow, we've been down this track before.
