Mariners Squad 2023/2024

At that rate it would be near impossible to knock back. If everything fails for a young player making the move to Europe then they are generally accepted back into the A-League pretty quickly.

 

[AuzDutchy]

99% of us would jump at the chance to earn that type of money in our current jobs, let alone as a pro sports player

Thus isnt a choice between money and no money. He could have absolutely stayed till the end of the year and been financially the same. Even looked to stay this year and been in a better place development wise.

And would Newcastle have been recruiting then? Or it would the next shiny toy like Irankunda be getting offered millions instead?

He could have gone to training, done his knee and never played again.
When opportunity comes you snatch it.
Absolutely support him going. 100%

So far this season he has played 9 matches with 7 starts for 521 minutes. I think he only played 7 games at Hearts with 190 minutes. So getting way more game time this season which is what he needs in a good league. The main reason for a loan is for players to get game time and develop, I’m more sure he is at Volendam than at Hearts. I don’t see the negativity towards his move, Holland is playing out a lot better, it’s a long season so he will play plenty of games.

Is Brian Kaltak representing Vanuatu at the Pacific Games?

Transfer window is 10 Jan to 6 Feb.

Only 6 weeks to go, 7 fixtures.

Better not be 1-11.

Unfortunately it's not beyond imaginable. But you'll get me and Meerkat on a downer and I'm trying to be positive... the Jets win was the start of a league run...

I feel like our best case is probably 10 points by the time the window opens. WU and Perth looking like our best shot at wins may scrape a point elsewhere.

I watched WU v Adelaide on the weekend and in the first half they looked tidy. Plenty of pace and a better last option they could have got something out of the game.

We will need to improve to get points. I’m tipping we will be on 6 points with draws against Perth, roar and WU.

WU definitely make some individual chances and if Wales was a bit better on the day he would have had a hatrick against Adelaide. But they aren’t a particularly cohesive team and will provide us chances. Risdon a bit of a loose cannon atm too which is a risk.

I think they are slightly better than us.

They look to be a bit closer to achieving that cohesiveness than we do.

The short turn around after 3 games in a week doesn’t fill me with confidence.

I dont see us beating any of the current top 5. Outside of them there is some dire football being played. Not as dire as us.

I agree, I just think those two games are our best chance to get some wins before the window opens - but those sides are going to be feeling the same about us too for valid reasons. We could easily be on 7 or less.

 

[Ben10]

I think Doka is the only one I'd seriously consider moving on in January. Surely we could do better with his visa spot

 

[gemkayem]

Looks like we’ve signed Luca Scicluna a young Aussie/Maltese midfielder who was last at Wolves in England. His brother is getting game time at WSW.
Bright young player.
Andy Bernal posted a photo with him 3 minutes ago.

Edit- I would assume he’s more of an academy signing, wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a scholar perhaps. Very tidy player.

Is he still with us does anyone know? A Scicluna showed up in the Roar/WSW game last night but I think he has a brother? Dylan?

 

[midfielder]

Rumour ... the horse told me...


We are looking for two strikers in January ... no backs and no mids...

 

[shipwreck]

Dangerous time to be a Striker who doesn't make the bench ?
