Central Coast Mariners Squad for 2009/10 HAL Season

[Bear]

so now we have the ACL draw does the club bring in some fresh talent to boost the squad?

yes

 

[marinermick]

if gold coast are using mile sterjovski as a fall back marquee we should go for him

we should also pick up the ogmonster as his commitments in korea are not until next season

 

[northernspirit]

those would be great aquisitions mick
two areas we are a bit light... good thing with the sterj is he can play a few different positions too

 

[Bear]

Good ideas there Mick, I hope at least 1 comes off for us, im more inclined to think Sterj as more likely

 

[Bear]

Chippers?

 

[northernspirit]

its pretty exciting to think we might be able to draw some quality players to the club, i guess its the start of the silly season with rumours etc

 

[mike88]

Link to SMH story re draw, mentions Lawrie interested in David Carney, as previously mentioned on other thread unlikely to come off but no harm in trying.

damn, he's good
send that vid to Laurie
seriously though, i've often thought it would be good for clubs to allow fans abroad to somehow contact them about possible talent (if theyve got an eye for such things) as a club can never look everywhere, and even with the mariners, there seems to be a fair amount of fans at different corners

[FFC Mariner]

Isnt that how the scum buy their marquees?

(Albeit they have broken the mould this season and just signed up some "Griffiths")

 

[Dutch Wives]

lol i have no idea how they do things, i just thought it would be fruitful to use the resources around

Surely either Nik or Saso will be leaving us come season end.
How about Robbie Fowler? Yeah, he's old, but would still be a quality signing, playing with any of our three other strikers. Oh Asia..

I'd rather pay Sterjovski the money, a current Socceroo looking to go to South Africa.

yep same, especially when culina has confirmed he's coming back to australia to play with the gold coast (source 442)

 

[Razorback]

I don't understand how Sterj fills the criteria of a Marquee player (same goes for Culina for that matter)? He can't get a game at Derby FFS, surely we should be setting our sites a little higher! Fowler, Juninho, Yorke these are the types of names that we should be chasing. Superstars in the twilight of their careers that come with massive reps to draw in crowds!

Whats Zizou, Maldini or Larsson up to these days?

The fact that they are current Socceroos may have something to do with it :

[Razorback]

So is Holman, Milligan, Carney, Wilkshire, Covic... So was Aloisi and everyone thought that that funny enough when SFC signed him. What a stupid f**king arguement.

The idea of a Marquee is to bring people who perhaps are not familiar with the game. A chance to see a great or someone who has done something in the game? I was think more along the lines of three above... Names that people who don't follow football as much would have heard off.

I'm not sure of their contract status but here are a few others...

Rivaldo, Figo, Pires, Roberto Carlos, Seedorf, Recoba, Salgado, Shevchenko, Guti, Nedved, Oliver Neuville, Veron and Christian Vieri.

Past greats of the game who can really boost the profile of the league domestically and internationally!

hmm let me see, most of these are retired, some are constantly injured and some are still playing top flight football
