Central Coast Mariners Squad for 2009/10 HAL Season

[jaypee]

I think Newcastles squad recruits are vastly over rated.

Sasho will not have the impact of sackwhack (although he will bag a few) and Ange wont go a full year with those knees.

Ljubo has the potential to be a stand out but is a nutter and is likely to go off at some point.

Will finish below us - bet on it

Hmm - big call AT - may have to wager a Drink on that one..... I think if Newie can hold onto De Groot and that Italian guy they have a good chance of finishing above us.... All depends who we recruit...

The advantage of Recoba is that he is not only a name that will be recognised (I'm amazed at the NRL / AFL types that follow the Socceroos that do know him) - but his worth as a dead ball specialist would be immense. How many times do we get an opportunity and waste it?

If we dont recruit well we will have a shit season no dout

Agree - he would kill most keepers with his dead ball skills..... Jedi wouldn't come close.

The great El Chino would easily be the best player ever in the HAL. Magnificent left foot, in my opinion the best since Maradona. Was once the highest paid player in the world with Inter.

I don't care who signs him. I just want him playing club football in Australia. If Glory can get him, the have my utmost respect.

Agree with your marquee comment ...I would love to get Vinnie Grella to the coast he would be my choice of marquee ... I reckon he would put thousands of extra bums on seats .. give us a midfield general and hard man all in one ...  imagine Matty & Mac running off his passes not to mention Elrich .......... ahhhhhhhh dream on

the italian guy won't be resigned as he is too injury prone and de groot is still unknown

agree with FFC Mariner in that summation

also, adam griffiths is leaving to GC and if they don't sign another keeper ben kennedy will have plenty of lol moments for the jets

Then he will replicate covic

 

[marinermick]

for all of newcastle's faults his did save the jets' butt on some occasions last season and did provide confidence for the backs as well as leadership

newcastle will be poorer with kennedy in goals

 

[Bear]

They wont keep Kennedy as 1st choice in v5 imo, watch for then to announce another keeper signing soon

as long as it isn't Bozza.........

 

[daddy cool]

Why are we waiting ??? ??? The club must have some news by now even who we are chasing something anything would be good

 

[mariners4ever]

more then likely is that IF they have players in mind they will probably wait till after the ACL

 

[dibo]

ACL window closed months ago, so that's done and dusted. no more players can be added.

the international transfer window is closed (opens july 1), and as perth glory found out earlier this year if you go around talking to players (or even talking about talking to players) who are under contract you get in deep shit with FIFA.

the club's said they're looking to buy for the coming campaign, but unless they're picking up off-contract players from other HAL clubs or from the state leagues, they have to wait for the window.

"We've already started looking for some players to help fill in, although there's not much available elsewhere in the A-League. We'll probably look at the lower leagues in England and see if there's any interest."

I have a problem with this comment. I want creative ball players. Do we potentially want more of the same rabble we already have?

 

[Roy Law]

I want players who can defend...

 

[Blair]

I want players who can defend...

And a play makers!!!!

 

[FFC Mariner]

I want players who can defend...

And a play makers!!!!

and prepared to play for the money we have available - we do need to be realistic, sports teams in all codes are seeing revenue decline at the moment.

That article mentions the possibility of losing Simon, Vukovic and Heffernan to overseas.

Of those mentioned I'd only rate Simon  as being at risk of leaving. Heff has tried his luck overseas and ended up wasting a year in Germany in lower grade teams for Nurnberg (and the fact he's now starting to struggle against better opposition in the A-League) & I can't see any os team having a look at Danny's CV and being too excited about some of his transgressions, despite his skill.
