Mariners Squad - 2020-2021

[Coastalraider]

This on both counts. Though if we did land him it would have a glory days vibe about it with Oli and Amini back in the squad. Definitely not the worst thing the club could do and would give us a real reason to think the tide is turning.

I love those return to glory day feelings.... remember when we signed Simon and McGlinchey??

Well yeah there’s definitely a right and a wrong way to do it. I don’t think many thought that was the right way, I certainly didn’t.

WTF?

This f**king better f**king be f**king bullshit f**king

 

[midfielder]

While I agree with that - the problem he had was that when he did it he was the deepest of our midfielders and the opposition were on us in an instant. I get frustrated when our wingers put in a poor pass which is all Stens is doing. Football is a simple game, concentration and technique only needs to be combined for short periods of time for a player to have a great game. However, players tend to treat each of the 90 minutes the same and mentally fatigue. The recognition of the need for heightened concentration on your technique at key times can be the difference between an average player and a very good player. That goes as much for Stens as it does to wingers providing crosses, strikers taking shots and all other players.

Thats a cold hard fact of Football.... a striker can make heaps of mistakes... poor passes poor tackles .... he is forgiven if he scores goals and the rest is not his job...

But a keeper is allowed less than a handful of errors a year ... a deep sitting holding mid ... acceptable mistake rate is 1 every say two to three games .... a holding centre back maybe two or three a year...

Deep sitting holding mids ... are not expected to give the ball away ... as it often leads to goals being scored against you...

Um....

I'm erring on the side of bulltwang first up

 

[Insertnamehere]

Um....

Didn't he just sign a new deal?!

 

[Michael]

Um....

you’d love to know the source on this one
What an absolute stitch up
Don’t buy into it lads, that page has got plenty wrong before and basically just posts quotes from actual news sights. Only with this Ziggy “rumour” there’s no paper trail

 

[turbo]

Um....

If this is true the Wanderers recruitment strategy is a f**king embarrassment to the league. Troisi, supposedly Ziggy (alrhough potentially a swap deal according to Twitter but we can’t afford the player) and no doubt still trying it on with Ibini.

 

[Michael]

Didn't he just sign a new deal?!

Yes, literally a month ago

 

[Tim]

I would be devastated if Ziggy left but absolutely feckin furious if he went to the WSW! Can’t that stupid club sign their own players and coach, it’s a big wide football world out there, do some hone work and find your own players!! I thought it was a very low act poaching the Jets coach when they were down and out but I will be equally disappointed in Ziggy if he’s tempted by that club...

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Ray Gatt saying we are looking at a swap deal with the Wanderers but can't afford the wages of the player we want to swap for.

 

[Michael]

In this hypothetical scenario, if it happens I’d love to see staj and Shaun come out and absolutely blast Ziggy and the wanderers. This would ruin anything the club has attempted to do.

I repeat, don’t buy into it.

Gatt was lending weight to it being legitimate on Twitter so maybe not without any basis. Whether we have the $ to get a player we want and have it come to fruition I’m not so sure.

Why would they blast those two when the Mariners can’t pay his wage and are involved in the swap deal? if Gatty is on the money and he mostly is.

Explains Ziggy’s absence in the trial game against APIA.

him saying it’s a swap turned my head.
But we need another defender on top of already having Ziggy? So common sense tells you no matter what player we get in return, we would still need another defender and that’s now 2 more players to integrate into the squad a week out from the first game.
the whole thing is (and I don’t mean to offend anyone) retarded

If it were a swap deal I would be expecting a CB to be our target. Ziggy can play CB but he’s not a specialist, Ziegler perhaps but $$$, maybe McGowan. That would leave Rowles or Tongyik in CB as well. Nigro likely drops in to RB.

Gatt now backtracking
