Do We Need A Marquee????

The only reason we wouldn't need a marquee is if there are no gaps or lapses in our team.

At the moment we have:-

an incompetent back line
no DM
no AM
no captain to speak of
a front line that's as skittish as a mare on heat

So yeah, I think it's pretty bloody obvious we need a marquee.

Where?

I'd say AM - time that our team carries the fear that some of the teams with the established and known creative attackers are.  Pity there aren't any good ones that we could afford....

f**k I miss Kwassie - at least he was a creative workhorse (on the few occasions that Lawrie showed the brains to realise he's an AM and not a striker).

I even miss him than Jedi, I think - after all, what use is a DM when nobody in the 4 behind him could stop a sink with a plug, and Danny's about as agile off the mark as a f**king prop with legs like a 7/11's front doors - never close?  If you can't stop goals you may as well bloody figure out how to score them.

If we were after a marquee player, he would have to play midfield.
He would be able to provide opportunities for our strikers as well as giving support to our defence.

Vinnie fcuk'n Grella ftw!

Looks like our golf-swinging Fergie will get Chipperfield up to NQ in addition to GOD

Not only do we need a marquee player to improve our team but also to bring more people back through the turnstiles. I'd be looking for a defender, someone who can work well with Danny and has the leadership and talent to inspire and improve what has become a very ordinary defence.

he offered to return to spurson a pay as you play deal....if we sorted a similar deal he would cost us peanuts as he would be injured for the majority of the season ;)

Dietmar Hamann is 35 y.o so he would be fairly cheap, if Edgar Davids is on a pay as you play he would be dirt cheap!!

Fact is that we need better players, not necessarily a Marquee to pump up the crowds.

If a player we wanted, qualified for Marquee status and we couldn't get him other wise, then yes, have him declared Marquee by the FFA and away we go!

If we are going to rehash this again, why not repeat the Carney rumours ad nauseum

Where is Carney nowadays? If he's getting game time he might improve, but I can't see him at the Mariners.
