Mariners Squad - 2019-2020

[Wombat]

The ref was blatantly cheating in that game. Remember he was only 20yo last season.

Good luck to him. He is an excellent young player and he put in 100% last season.

Hi everyone, obviously there is lots happening and plenty to announce very soon. By Monday we will have updated the squad list, coaching staff additions and also of course 3-4 new players signings. Sorry to tease but we do have details that are being worked through on every item and until each one is finalised in the next 48 hours we do have to wait until we can make an official announcement of each one.
Also just to manage expectations the players announcements are not the new Visa players that are being worked on as our key signings for the year. But nonetheless they are important additions to the squad including some younger players.

Thanks for the update Shaun. Good to hear there is some progress, but disappointing to agin be going into pre season without our key signings. Hopefully they can be here at least for the FFA cup to try and get some competitive game time with the squad prior to the season starting proper, as we looked very short of a gallop starting last year.

Just to confirm I never said we would be going into pre-season without out key signings just flagging that the upcoming announcements are not visa players. 24 hours is a very long time in football let alone a weekend, so nothing would surprise me to be fair in how quick things can progress and change. Totally agree with you in regards to last years pre-season and FFA preparation, I am confident the football department this year is well ahead in the planning.

Thanks for clarifying, much appreciated.

Looking forward to some news!

de Silva loan has expired at the bling and the bling gave him shit all game time. I think he will be back at mariners as he will want to prove a point for a new contract...i also think our new coach is going to more defensive then attacking so don't be surprised if our team signs more defensive players.

Would’ve been hard to keep disciplined/composed in that side last season tbh. Though, I see where you’re coming from.
I’m not thrilled that we haven’t been able to hold on to him, but I had a feeling this was the way it was going to play out. Just another one of our better performing players from last season now that we need to try and replace... a DM pairing of him and Karacan would’ve been nice to build around, but hey I guess we can make do with McGlinchey and Shabow... right, guys? Right?? Anyone??? Bueller?

Ferris Bueller? I thought he had a day off.

Breaking in to the Sydney first team was always going to be a challenge for him, didnt help that he got injured too. I agree that he would be better served starting with us than fighting for scraps off the bench but dont want him if he hasnt learned a lesson from it. Sydney have put it out there that they are in discussions for getting Cacares and DDS back there again from their respective parent clubs so it'll depend on how much they're willing to pay and what their player movements are like. Best case for us would be DDS has a great season wherever he ends up and we can sell him off. Last year I got the impression he'd burned his bridges with CCM the way things went down, I doubt we see him playing for us again.

My kingdom for whoever finds the audio of him abusing people.

Happy with this.

Happy with this.

Now the club just needs to sign the requisite quality for him to work with....

Thanks for the update Shaun, this is 1000% what I’ve wanted from you. So thank you very much, please keep it up in future. You’re not getting anyone’s hopes up but keeping us informed.

Brilliant news also that Jess VanStrattan is on the coaching staff, as close as we’ll get to a John Crawley and I hope he has a massive say in who will be our new number 1.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Would've loved to see JVS play more games for us, but the knee injury killed his career. Fortunately Mat Ryan was there to take over.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Very good signing, he notably improved every goalkeeper that City had and brought Galekovic back to his best. Apart from signing John Crawley himself I don't think we could have done better. Great job to every involved.

 

[turbo]

Great job to every involved.

I’m glad we made it happen but it sounds like we really lucked out on this one with them expecting twins and their family & support network being here. About time we got a win!

JVS gets real fired up on the sidelines. l remember he got sent off once. Lucky there's no Bunnings chairs to throw anymore.
