Mariners squad HAL 10 ~ 2014/15

[nearlyyellow]

Also up for grabs Anderson, Bosnar and Major, who is only contracted until the end of this season. That was an odd, short term signing imo.

 

[dibo]

He's basically replacing Kim.

Major

Yes, of course, the caffeine hadn't reached brain, forgot.

He's allready done better than kim did in less than 1/2 the time

 

[Capt. Awesome]

Apparently Duke still has yet to sign his contract in Japan. You think it would be done by now.

What's Major done that surpasses Kim? You seem to be forgetting that Kim did some pretty sweet work whilst he was with us. Unfortunately, his game didn't suit ours.

He was too soft imo

He was too soft imo

I agree, but some of his passing and positional play was superb. To say Major has already done better than him is not doing Kim justice. Maybe if they were both playing rugby league then you would have a point.

Brandon O'Neill has just been released by Perth. I expect him to be announced in the coming weeks.

 

[Roy Law]

He was too soft imo

I thought all Koreans were too soft for the A League until I saw Leaky G up against Ferreira; he is a proper defender.

Isaka Cernak gets a bit of a wrap from Seb. Hassett in today's SMH, deservedly so imho :
A-League: Five things we learned this week

4. Isaka Cernak might have finally found a home

The A-League's one-man magical mystery tour, Cernak might just have found a home for a bit longer than five minutes. He's played for six different clubs since 2010 (it would be quicker to list the clubs he hasn't played for) and each of them has been enticed by the prospect of getting the most from his quick feet. It's never really worked out for him anywhere but at Central Coast, he may just be proving his worth as a left-winger. With Fabio Ferreira on the right, they may be able to stretch teams with width.

With Matt Simon out for the season we should be able to get a short term replacement.
As Storrie is trying to re-connect with CCF & the community we should have a look at Joey Gibbs.
At 23 Gibbs has a bit of experience,is a local lad & has a point to prove.
He is currently playing with Blacktown City so getting a release shouldn`t be a problem.
With only 7 games to go it`s a cheap solution & a real opportunity to have a good look at him.

But we already have Major and Bingham. Why another inexperienced striker.

Simon's reportedly gone:

Absolutely dumbfounded by news coming out re Mariners decision to tell Matty Simon he is no longer required. 8 seasons with club count for 0
story on Matty Simon being told he is no longer wanted will be up on @australian website soon

 

[scottmac]

He's out for the season & with new direction for club he more than likely doesn't suit going into next year. Great servant over the years but it's the right decision for mine.

 

[Gratis]

yeah but it's Matty! 2nd only to Hutch for yellow and navy blood

 

[scottmac]

No one comes before the team. He had 12 great months over 2 seasons then left & wasn't the same. Let's see who they replace him with. We may be saying Matty who in 7 months. (or we may be necking ourselves)

Put it this way, we've (certainly I have) been calling for a real f**king striker for years. A true 9. Maybe we are getting one.

Simon's reportedly gone:

noooooooooooooooooo *starts crying*

 

[dibo]

Tough call, but I wonder if there's either someone in the wings or a mismatch between expected salary and perceived contribution.
