Mariners Squad - HAL 12 - 2016 - 2017

[JoyfulPenguin]

Palm Tree = No sale

Oh well, stick with the S3 one for at least another year

Don't fret FFC there's one on the back!

 

[FFC Mariner]

I could ask you the same question.

So you have NFI then?

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

So you have NFI then?

I think what Timmah is trying to say is that it's pretty unlikely that we would use the same design as on a school holiday clinic as we would use for our first team kit.

 

[Timmah]

Exactly as JoyfulPenguin said. I wouldn't be surprised if we returned to something more similar to S10 - the plain yellow with a bit of navy trim.

Like most I'm hopeful the palm tree no longer adorns the jersey - I'd be happy for it to appear on the shorts or socks maybe but plain yellow like S10 would work best.


Sidebar: @adz / @dibo should we break this out into it's own 2016/17 kit discussion thread?

Not sure how much it'll change, if it's true that it's been our biggest seller by far tbh... Once that's said, I actually also have to admit that it doesn't bother me so much anymore... Having gotten used to it I don't really mind it and, controversially, I think it's nicer than pretty much any of the Reebok kits and the blue Hummel kit... But that's just me...

Either way, it's far from the biggest concern for me - much more worried about the squad composition

While it's cosmetic I think the palm tree design will forever be tied to our spoon season and the club would want to escape that? JMO though.

 

[dibo]

Based on what?

I wouldn't even bet that we're with Umbro next year based merely on the holiday clinics getting Umbro kit.

Umbro do simple stuff and turn it around quickly. They also do balls, but the kids are using Nike balls - do we think we're going to be with Nike next year? Probably not, it's just that the Nike Team Training ball is cheap and readily available. I like the Umbro balls better (and they're just as cheap and available) but we didn't use them...

The good side of dealing with someone like Umbro is that they're hooked into the Rebel Sports/AMart Sports machine through ProSportsGroup. They are likely to feel less like a cottage operation than Kappa. Umbro does all the apparel and PSG can provide shedloads of other equipment (where currently we use Hart Sports).

Dealing with a single person to shout at is sometimes a bit easier than having multiple suppliers for different things...

Article also says an agreement in principle has been reached with Dylan McGowan.

That should take SFC out of the Wilko stakes

Unlikely......more club blarney more likely.
If it was so hot they wouldn't have been selling them for $50 at the scum game.

Gosh, I hope you are right.

That they are our best selling of all time and that they are heavily discounted at end of season is not necessarily contradictory.

We could've sold piles of them and just have leftover stock. If we're changing supplier the club will want to get rid of the excess rather than having it clog up a storeroom.

I considered buying one (partly so I could always point to it as the answer to "where were you when you were shit", partly because I suspect it'll be a classic like the Socceroos' vomit kit), but none were available in my size.

I had heard a *rumour* that we re-signed Kalik and he was staying at Hadjuk for another season. Appears it may have been lost in translation. Of course it was too good to be true...

http://dalmatinskiportal.hr/sport/hajduk-ce-zadrzati-kalika--pocinju-pregovori-s-velazquezom/11909

Here is the always fun Google translate.

"They both meet and Julian expiring contract with Palermo
Hajduk will keep Anthony Kalika. The young midfielder, born in 1997, signed a six-month winter loan with the option of purchasing and evaluation of the profession that he met, and is expected to soon sign a contract.

He came from the team of Central Coast Mariners on a recommendation Josip Skoko. Upon arrival was supposed to determine whether he is the first or second team, but coach Buric quickly he joined the first team and remove all doubt. Now it 'white' want to keep.

The Kalika would go easier, and with Julian Velazquez harder, learn from Poljud. He arrived on loan from Palermo, but in June expires contract with the Italian club, Hajduk and has the ability to sign a contract with him. Velazquez liked and live in Split ...

What's the problem? The key is how the 'white' with Argentine agree on wages. We have no information how much he earned as a player of Palermo, but from Poljud learn that it far exceeds the dimensions of the 'white'. Will he find a solution that will be acceptable to both sides, remains to be seen, in any case by FC wants to keep and will go into negotiations ..."

I might be being optimistic but considering his potential and how highly they seem to rate him I hope we would be asking somewhere within the 400k range.

Actually...his contract was up wasn't it? So we will probably get 2 peanuts.

 

[pjennings]

No - he has another year

[owenmcleod12]

Any rumours or talk about a new number 10 for the club. i believe and i think so do most fans that this is an essential position to fill?

 

[dibo]

We're getting Maradona

 

[MagpieMariner]

I was hoping for someone a bit younger. Still, he's got good hands.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Probably more committed than Garcia
