Mariners squad HAL 10 ~ 2014/15

[Mini In Bay 6]

I would take Griffiths purely for the Jests tears, of which I would collect to water the pitch for the next 100 years.

 

[MagpieMariner]

No, don't even joke about taking Sackwhacker. It's not funny.

 

[nebakke]

So, Omar Abdulrahman looks handy... Reckon we could scrounge up a couple of million Euros and maybe trade him for Triff? (I like Triffiro btw, just think I'd like Abdulrahman better ) you're all saying we need a #10

Omar is quality. A passing game second to none in the Asian Cup imo. Like you imply, we couldn't afford him... not after his efforts of the past couple of weeks. Surely he's put himself front and centre in the shop window and it will only be a matter of time before the big offers come his way.

He's destined for great things i think. The weight of his passes was just unbelievable, top shelf. As for a #10 i wouldn't have been upset to see us make a play for Saba.

Omar or any other AM would also struggle to play as a 10 in the present mariner's team. He would starve to death waiting to get properly served by our defenders and midfielders (except Cac) and he's not the type of player that would chase or fight for ball possession.
We've got our own Omar in Caceres. Don't waste the money we don't have on a number 10 when we have good or better options already available. Lets get two decent CBs and that will solve 70% of our problems.

Defender Daniel Mullen, who played for Western Sydney Wanderers in the AFC Champions League final win, has left the A-League club by mutual consent.

This guy worth getting, do you think? Considering the discussion about our defence.

 

[dibo]

I think he's going to the Jets.

 

[MagpieMariner]

I think he's going to the Jets.

Wonder if he's having second thoughts?

 

[nebakke]

I think he's going to the Jets.

Abdulrahman!?

 

[nearlyyellow]

Well, Timmy Cahill is gone! http://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/...ue-side-shanghai-shenhua-20150202-134kgn.html

Damn, and there I was hoping MC would lash out with the $'s and secure him as our Australian Marquee player, the *best* of the best, to play out his dotage with the Mariners. Anyway, Good Luck Tim.

 

[nearlyyellow]

From that article this little gem:
"Cahill said he had talks with Sydney FC officials "but as far as offers, there was nothing".

Arnie's purse isn't quite big enough, eh?

 

[sydmariner]

Maby we should of used that stupid "Arnie Cash" after all

 

[VicMariner]

Maby we should of used that stupid "Arnie Cash" after all

Probably can....in Greece.

 

[Gratis]

so is that it for transfers then? are we full up?

 

[VicMariner]

I was reading another article about the Jets current saga:
http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2015/02/03/ffa-warns-tinkler-put-or-shut
and saw this:
"Argentine striker Jeronimo Neumann reportedly wants out"

I wonder if we could make a play for him?
Another striker wouldn't hurt and he might link up well with Ferriera having played together at Adelaide.

I wouldn't judge him on his recent form, toxic Newcastle would smother anybody.

 

[shipwreck]

What an incredibly underwhelming transfer window.
Thanks for nothing

Cahill looking for an offer than includes more than just football. We would have been the perfect place as we can offer that but we just lack the funds. Oh well.

I said it over a year ago that he would be the only marquee to do the job of increasing our crowds in that way. Such a shame nobody had the foresight to put in motion some type of offer. Even just finding out what it would take. Sanitarium is only just up the road too.

Thing is, Cahill has been adamant, as late as last year, that he wasn't going to be playing in the A-league.
So it was a bit funny to hear the shock-horror on the radio today, that he didn't receive an offer from anyone in the A-league and that he was delighted to be playing in a developing league now...

He needs to make up his mind I think... would've been happy to see him play in blue-yellow though
