Mariners Squad 2022/2023

[crock]

i reckon it will be lt will be more likely danny than langerak and ryan tbh

Mick's comment that it is "quite exciting" makes me start speculating wildly

 

[midfielder]

Ryan on a loan deal may work but I think Danny....

Ryan wants his WC spot, and he often talks about the Mariners and has gone out his way when he sees a Mariner shirt at one of his games to go over and have a chat...

Ryan is also the current captain of the Socceroos so he could walk into the captains armband as well...

We also have the pace in the outside players .... I can still recall when we had lighting speed in the outside backs and mids ... Matty getting up quickly and throwing those bullet like throws to fast moving wide players...

I would love Langerak.

Young kid probably about to go to school. Might be wanting to come back to Australia and get settled before that happens. Certainly that would be a great signing.

Exciting for Mick reasons rather than someone like Joe Hart or Langerak.

I also noticed a “Son” on that word jumble. We will go back to signing Koreans?

 

[Michael]

That’s it.
it’s Danny Vukovic and Paul Hanlon after they get their current contracts terminated.
and the fan base goes wild, end of discussion.

 

[shipwreck]

Honestly would be stoked with Vukovic and Hanlon

 

[shipwreck]

Just from an expectation management perspective I'm not sure suggesting that we could be getting the likes of a J Hart, Langerak or Ryan is the best way to announce a new signing IMO, it has the potential of making what is actually a fantastic signing seem underwhelming in comparison.

 

[Wombat]

My choices

1. Maty
2. Hart
3. Langerak
4. Vuko

TBH I'm gonna be STOKED with ANY of those guys.

Just reading another post and it feels like it will be Danny. That is great for us and him and will push the Wiggle out of the Socceroos squad as well.

Was thinking exactly the same .. I really have to assume though that the marketing department are not this silly (I really don’t think they are) and stay excited!!!! ?

Yeah, I didn't even think of that. But let's be honest, Hart was never leaving Celtic and Australia's captain shouldn't be looking at our club to prep for the WC.

No - he shouldn't - but he also shouldn't be prepping on the bench or worse.

TBH - I'd be ecstatic with 'Danny, Danny - what's the score' and Hanlon.

Everyone has overlooked that it's Monty coming back as player-manager!

Lol good try but he wouldn’t be a visa player now…

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Set your hopes too high and be disappointed.

Just be patient.
And in the fullness of time I am sure everyone here will learn to love Ziggy and Vedran Janjetović.

I thought possibly Craig Gordon GK from hearts when I saw gordon in the crossword. With rowles there I thought it made sense haha

Credit to Charlesworth here, he has conditioned me to expect so little that it is almost impossible to disappoint me.

But shipwreck has a valid point, the club needs to be careful with the tease. Danny announced "cold" as our new keeper would be exciting news; Danny announced off a short list including Maty, Langerak and Hart less so - would feel a bit like winning the bronze medal not the gold.

I hear what you are saying - but in reality we are months away from the season and people will forget or even not be aware of the shortlist. If it is Danny he will be seen as (as he should be) a returning hero and Socceroo keeper.

I think the club over estimate the impact of only using Facebook and Twitter.
It becomes an echo chamber of talking to the converted.
Talking to someone yesterday who "used to go before they were rubbish" and his only awareness was that we have lost players.
The people the club need to connect with don't follow their every post (of which there are far too many)
I'm not sure how you fix the disengagement during the Charlesworth years other than a few winning seasons.
