    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

From all reports previously he was quite versatile - but he was not first or second choice in any so was unlikely to get game time. Better for him to get game time - isn't Ben Cahn at Gold Coast Knights? If he is a QLD boy then it makes sense to go home to get game and development time.
Cahn is at roar.

McDonald is at GCK

Tulio rumoured to be off to India.
Mohan Bagan reported to be sniffing around
I really hope we're not stupid enough/greedy enough to do that deal with a mid season release. If we sell our best players in Jan it'll show we really don't give a f**k about the football and it's all about the finances. We've already been gutted enough.

This has now made the cynic in me wonder if the uplift in the last couple games is players trying to improve their chances of an out in Jan.

If it’s lose in January for money or lose in the off-season for a free the club would be stupid to not sell.

Most players have release clauses in their contracts that get triggered by a bid at a certain price.
Personally if I got a call offering to double my wages I'm not even going to think about it before saying yes

Why can't we have both - if he is to be sold - then sell him in January with a loan back for the rest of the season.
Can't see anyone loaning him back. Hes a starter not a development player.

Theoretically his value peaks in Jan because we don't want to sell mid season and teams buying are likely trying to strengthen a squad to avoid relegation or win a flag.

Forgive me if I’m wrong - but we have never really been a team to let go of talent we want to keep in January compared with getting rid of talent we don’t want any more - right?

The only one I can thing of is Garang - and at that same time we got rid of Aqua, Kalechi, Ayongo.

We usually keep the impactful transfers to the end of season right?
