Mariners squad HAL 10 ~ 2014/15

[Gratis]

we need something better than Ando, meaning no offence to the guy. He's a fine player but nothing amazing and we need some serious quality in that position if we're to build back into a powerhouse again

damn shame about Vernes

Word on the street (twitter) is that Ando is off to Sydney either this transfer window or end of season. Pretty safe to say he won't get a run for the rest of the season.

I saw Mossy abuse Ando at half time against Bling and thought that is not going to end well. His first touch in the 2nd half was the gift back pass to set Sydney 4 nil up......I think I told Middy that I'd be surprised if he played against Adelaide.
Not great coaching and even worse because Mossy's recruitment has been so poor. Having said that I don't think caincross (or whatever his name is ) is going to be any sloppier than Ando and Bosnar.

For me we need to bring in a defensive coach because we are fundamentally flawed at the back.

Anderson makes a bunch of errors and it's Moss's fault?

There's a reason they're called coach killers.

Better than Juric?
Clearly?
Wow.

Last time I checked Juric was putting them in the back of the net in massive games for both club & country.

We'll see. A goal against a horrible and defeated Oman off the bench and one lucky (though yes important) assist, accompanied a bunch of poor decisions and mistakes.

A year ago I was ridiculed for saying Taggart was stupidly over rated too. Have watched many of Juric's games. Strong 2013 but too often looked lazy and was fed well by Ono, Mooy and Hersi. Wonder goal against Juventus. Otherwise poor 2014.

Duke has better strength pace, feet and contributes more. He's still young, polish will come over next three years. Being on the wing has hurt him. Anyone who thinks he's gone backwards was not watching the game today.

If in 3 years Juric is proven to be the better striker I'll buy you a beer Scottmac.

Moss said in the post match Vernes has to have an op on his shoulder. With Duke possibly going he said he will have to go shopping. Williams might be on his way this week.

Where did you get the news on Williams?

Williams left winger
Ferreira right winger
Simon/Major/Bingham centre forwards

Our attack will not look to shabby!
Some good speed on the flanks by players who can score in their own right, couple that with some decent crosses to our strikers...could be some excitement ahead.

It's just a romour that he has been free to seek a move if he wants. Back a few pages we were discussing it on this thread.

I remember discussing it. Thought you might have new information.

 

[shipwreck]

I'll take Mcdonald for Duke any day, anyone heard more about that?

 

[Capt. Awesome]

Nah sorry. It's probabl wishfull thinking anyway.

Have not heard anything but I think he is a free agent.

Scott McIntyre's reporting that Duke will sign with Shimizu today, flying out on Tuesday for training in Kagoshima.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Well good luck to him, hope he does well there. Looking forward to seeing him in green & gold. Hope they don't play him on the wing.

[BrisRecky]

I tweeted the club and lightly sprayed them for virtually sneaking Dukey out of the country, I'm sure the fans would of appreciated a chance to say thanks to the kid

To be fair, there isn't much the club could do - the deal wasn't signed last night, and the club would have looked like a right goose if they had announced he was going and the deal fell through.

 

[BrisRecky]

Fair enough cheers RBS

Its also only a pre deal. Still reliant on a few technicalities when he get over there. That is why there is no official announcement.

 

[Roy Law]

Is it a Gentleman's Agreement?

 

[BrisRecky]

Knowing our luck, the technicalities will collapse and Arnie will snatch him up
