Floating Kewell

As Sage himself points out Perth have no spots left but we do...and Kewell is not after the $.

Thoughts on Kewell at Mariners? There's no deniying his ability, what about the cultural fit? I guess Kewell & Arnie's relationship would be the other big factor.

Not that's it's being talked about at the moment anyway

only if he brings some really serious dollar sponsors other than that no I want to see how the current team progreses.

HAhaha no way Kewell would play for Arnold

We have 23 players on our roster - no space available.

I think you're right actually...

Perth will sign him for a guest stint

Firstly, having seen Arnie and Kewell together at the Victory game last season I suspect that the media stories are just that.

Secondly, Harry would still have a lot to offer - I thought he was on another level (not that hard) to most of the Victory players last year.

Thirdly, Harry at the time of the Sydney Blues consortium was keen to develop a 'world-class' academy where he would attract sponsors to offset costs so that the family of talented young players would not have to choose between mormal living costs and supporting their kid's dreams. If he was interested in aligning this ideal with the Centre of Excellence then my interest would be a lot greater.

That said - I'd rather Harry went to Perth. Though to be honest I think that Harry going to Perth on a guest stint is not ideal. If Sage is serious he should look at paying one of his U23 players outside the cap and squad limit and bringing in Harry on a full contract.

The only way I could see Kewell at the Mariners is as a guest - although I don't know the rules of using guest players. If, for argument's sake, Kewell, who is not fully fit, trained with Mariners until January and then joined on a guest stint and then was later named in our extended ACL squad I could see logic to it for HK's sake as it would have him playing enough football for Holger to consider him for the Socceroos. From Arnie's point of view it gives him an experienced player for the ACL. It could work but it is a very long shot: wouldn't hurt at the turnstiles.

I don't believe that HK would benefit mariners.He's had his moment and imo,he did nothing special while at MV.He would also decrease the hopes of any game time of our very talented youth (Birnie,Duke,Caceres)which I believe will contribute to the team a lot more than HK.

If take Kewell in a heart beat, kidding ur selves if u don't think he would be worth it....

Won't happen in any case, but I'd still take him any day

 

[dibo]

He'd play in Sterj's spot wide on the left if we did sign him. Seems far more likely he's going to Perth though.

 

[midfielder]

Heavens it would give PG some fire power when Smeltz is back... as for a guess stint on the Coast ... any time I get a chance to see Harry play I would go...

In our team more see him as the striker up front holding the ball in our new formation..

NO WAY he would sign under Arnie.
