Mariners Squad - HAL 11 - 2015/2016

[Wombat]

Rich, coming from a Leeds fan.

We smash your car, we don't steal it.

Garcia will take some time to build fitness but with that experience and technique he will do well. As I've said before the effect of just his draw on defenders and inevitable through balls...what that'll do for Bingham, Austin and Fab...can't wait

I'll tell you what if 3 weeks ago you asked me would I trade Cac and Fitzy for Garcia and Hersi....

 

[localpom]

Would have been good to trade Fitzy with David Williams from MC. Shame to have let him go without any benefit to us apart from a free space.

I'mm thinking it might actually be for the better anyway... Whoever's going to be playing as out CAM more permanently, is going to ned a bit of time to learn and settle into that role probably.
That being the case, there'd be no harm in having Garcia start - while the other side is still fresh an up for a bit of a challenge, then swap him out when he runs out of puff, for someone with fresh legs but perhaps not quite the same vision.
So might work better from a mentoring point-of-view

Still not sure about Hersi, be interesting to see though, I think.

it has just been confirmed that Caceres is to be 'loaned' to Melbourne City

 

[crock]

what is the latest on hersi

 

[Gratis]

no news

 

[Rowdy]

Just needs to pass our medical then the announcement.

I suspect late Thursday arvo, that way Friday's CC Express will be a bumper issue filled w/ Mariners news, the Garcia build-up etc. for the WSW game this weekend.

Bahahahaha. Indeed.

"Garcia will take some time to build fitness"
Well, he'll need some match fitness for sure. But look at the other thread and the instagram links I posted. Luis is a fitness freak and true athlete. It's clearly part of his lifestyle. This is a guy who enjoys it and has not stopped working.

Club has done very well here. Hats off. I really didn't expect him to be in such great physical shape. I'm feeling way more excited and optimistic now.

I was really hopeful that something would eventuate from the Everton relationship....but it seems very quiet on that front unfortunately.

letting him go was a net positive for us , its more than free space, we have looked better since he hasnt been there...

Everton with the rest of the EPL helped make him a LFC legend

 

[Capt. Awesome]

We might be getting another big onset fee for Sainbury

Soccer Stoppage Time ‏@SocStoppageTime 1h1 hour ago
Massive transfer news will be breaking on @FOXSportsNews at 4 pm this afternoon.The Story is about @Socceroos defender's big money transfer

 

[dibo]

Could also be Wilkinson being signed to Sydney for megadollars

 

[FFC Mariner]

Josh Risdon is a socceroos defender

Just saying

 

[Atomic]

I noticed that Sains wasn't in the squad for PEC on the weekend. I assumed he was injured. Could it be he was rested due to a big money transfer? Is that how the game is played?

Probably a bit optimistic to be looking at Sains as the sell isn't it?
I mean, he's almost spent more time injured than on field thanks to that bl**dy sprinkler... Not that he's not good, just that there's been limited time for someone else to look at him.

Yeah Risdon or Thwaite would be my guess... Has Thwaite's move actually been officially acknowledged yet?

 

[Capt. Awesome]

Stealth on SST is Sainsburies manager. They also said it wasn't Wilko.

 

[Capt. Awesome]

Wilko still an option for us:

“It’s great that they signed [Luis] Garcia,” Wilkinson said when asked about the former Liverpool player, who arrives in Sydney on Thursday.

“Hopefully it gets a lot of the Central Coast people through the gates and gets them out to support the team.

“If I do decide to come back to the A-League the Mariners could be an option…I’m not sure.”

that would just be such a great thing, I'd be as excited about that as about Garcia - and I'm sure a large number of coasties would too. Former captain/Mariners hero/legend returns, brings that level of experience to CB...awww please do!
