Mariners Squad 2023/2024

[Corsair]

The other side is being a Brazo he might have a group he supports financially back home. Like I'd imagine Brian does.

Why ain't Brian asking then? Cultural differences I'd imagine.

1 season of pro football, the first half of which was highly questionable. He is definitely on a steep curve of improvement and played well the last 3rd but at this point he should be very grateful for the opportunity, not asking for a pay rise. I doubt they are queueing up to sign him, still a raw talent.

Is this for real??!

Transfermarket says he is worth 300k. Not even big money. You can’t tell me he’s not worth more to us than selling him off.

Got to love having a GF winning squad. See you in another 10 years, championship.

Figures quoted have been over 500,000 GBP

That doesnt sound alot very good chance he will end up out on loan somewhere in Europe if he goes I feel he needs another season in aleague

Quoted from where? I can’t see anything other than “6 figures” which tells us absolutely nothing. Transfermarket is usually pretty accurate.

I know we are a selling club. But to sell all our top strikers a whisper before pre season starts again, (rumours are that Tulio will go as well), is ridiculously over confident unless we’ve got people of the same quality or better, ready to bring in. If we had a rubbish season, sure. Cull and rebuild. But we are supposed to be taking our championship winning side to Asia. Are we not?

Tulio likely to stay i reckon

 

[crock]

Have we been to linked to anyone else outside Alou

I did see something about 520,000 GBP but this is another one

"A player that is attracting a lot of attention from several Championship clubs is Sammy Silvera, 22-year-old prospect who plays for Australian side Central Coast Mariners," Palmer said.

"Apparently the board have said they wouldn't stand in his way and they would accept an offer of £500,000.


"So it's worth having a go at, you never know whether these players can make the step up, look at Jamie Vardy, who would have thought that he would have gone on to do what he's done?

"You have to take that gamble and at £500,000, it's a gamble that's worth taking."

I’m not as concerned about this one as I thought I might be, should it come to pass. Would have preferred another season out of him but £500k sterling is good business. The fact that we’re essentially getting double bubble for him after selling him in 2020 is a brilliant bit of business.
Just on Transfermarkt figures - they’re very, very rough, especially in the case of Australian-based players. I wouldn’t put too much stock into them.
We were always going to be fielding offers for these guys after an incredible season. I’m a big fan of the fact that we (apparently) knocked back a number of offers initially rather than just taking whatever we could get and seeing players go for a fraction of their worth.
Opportunity for players like Hammond and Migzy to progress.

 

[Corsair]

We need the money. But the fans have only just come back from the wastelands and the wilderness, this was a very special team, understandable we don't want them gutted.

 

[Coastalraider]

Chill Winston.

In Monty we trust.

At the end of the 21/22 we were ‘gutted’ losing Miller, Rowles, Urena, hatch, bozanic, Birraz, smith, Tonyik. However will we cope?!?!

We recruited Vuka, Tulio, Sammy, Triantis, Kaltak, Aqualina, Rhus, Ayongo and Kalechi. Run strong to the transfer window, then get rid of what isn’t working in Aqua, Rhus, Ayongo and Kalechi, and lose one of our brightest ever in a Garang. We bring in McGarry, Theo, and DWH plus start using youth more on the bench with a view ti this year.

We turn over a LOT. But one thing we should have learnt by now is that we find diamonds that others don’t with our visa players. We find immense talent in our own, and our oppositions youth structures and give it a chance. We rarely don’t hit the mark with recruiting, but when we miss, we fix it quickly and ruthlessly. And most important of all - the culture of this club and standards set within it means that whoever comes into our system will flourish, and play their best football.

I don’t particularly like that we are losing some of our best players, but I also don’t think the sky is falling in.

Arguably we have never been a more attractive club to come to. Arguably we haven’t had this kind of budget, since we nearly went bankrupt. We are in the best recruiting position we have ever been in - if we lose good players I have full faith that we will fill with good players. But in traditional Monty/Serge form, we will have never heard of them, and they will be better than the nonsense recruits on superannuation tours that the big teams sign.

 

[Michael]

So almost a mill AUD for Sammy. Few more pennies to throw at Tulio then….

 

[Michael]

Have we been to linked to anyone else outside Alou

I wouldn’t worry about the quietness of us being linked to players. Monty’s probably already signed replacements or about to.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Can we send a thank you card to the scum for the freebie

 

[Pirate Pete]

I'm surprised Sunderland haven't come in for Sammy.
There some comments by Sunderland supporters the other day about a winger they have.
Apparently Burnley offered 9 million & the Sunderland mob thought he was worth 20 million.
If he goes I would have thought Sunderland would need a replacement.

... But that cross to Beni in the GF.

Hopefully someone got Brian to photocopy the one they sent to Western Sydney for Nectar.

 

[turbo]

We need the money

We do but at the same time we've made solid money on Cummings, Triantis and Kuol this season. Plus the world cup money whatever the final number is. At some point it wears a bit thin. Something like bumping up Tulio and extending him until the end of 24-25 would really help and allow us to sell him next season.

 

[Big Dog]

Bumping up Monty and Sergio would be my first priority

This is a big thing that people don’t always get. Teams make signings but from a media perspective you want to announce throughout the offseason
