Mariners Squad - HAL 12 - 2016 - 2017

[dibo]

Beats Ivan the Terrible.

 

[Gratis]

He confirmed it's just talk going around at this stage

Ray Gatt tweeted today

Danny Vukovic to the Mariners might be an interesting move....

He confirmed it's just talk going around at this stage

Which to me confirms that Necesvki agreeing to terms is also just talk.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

What am I missing? Didn't he sign with MV last year on a 3 year deal? Why and how would he come to us?

Combo of sick kid and Thomas' stellar performance has "rumour going 'round the town, that they don't want him around" to lightly paraphrase The Sweet ;-)
Anyway there's been all that talk that he'd like to get back Sydneyway to be around family and that MV is happy for him to go if he can find a role, so they can clear him off the cap.

 

[Wombat]

I'd take Danny over Ivan any day.
Maybe only a 12 months contract to see if he still has it.

 

[Wombat]

Can we get one of these please Tony?

 

[Gratis]

Victory would have to release him for us to get him, I'd refuse to swap Austin for a keeper, would rather keep searching to buy keeper

Rumours about Austin abound:
Austin asks for release
Central Coast Mariners forward Mitch Austin has asked for a release.

Austin is said to be considering offers from Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory, but the Mariners have rejected the approach.

The Gosford-based side would only consider a release if they could get a player in return as well as salary cap compensation.

We are told that Austin is considering not returning for pre-season with the Mariners.

Another rumour:
Mariners want Makarounas
Recently released Melbourne Victory midfielder Jesse Makarounas is said to be in talks with the Mariners.

The midfielder has been promised game-time be Central Coast coach Tony Walmsley and is seen as a perfect fit with other midfield recruit Mickael Tavares.

[FFC Mariner]

Old news isn't it?

Rejected a new contract ages ago.

 

[Coach]

First - we do not need Makarounas or Donachie we have plenty of those sort of players now, 21 yr olds with little experience. If, as rumored, we don't want Covic then please don't take Necevski he is simply not up to standard, Danny is the minimium. If we can swap Austin for a seasoned player and some cash please please do so. Look at the stats - 5 goals, just 18 tackles, 20% cross success rate, can't play a full game sub'ed 15 of 23 and that doesn't include the send off! If he is to stay it must be as a shock weapon off the bench. We stiil need an experienced CB and AM.

I disagree with the Makarounas /Donachie & think they are actually better than what we currently have & would fit what we are looking for.
I was not a big Danny fan when he was here,I thought he was too big headed & wasn`t surprised at the send-off,in saying that a water of water has flowed under the bridge & I`d like to see him back.Long term I think he could last a decade here.
As for Austin,where did you get those stats? I really have a problem with them, in so far as I think the 18 tackles has been massively inflated!

 

[Coach]

I agree to a certain extent in that Donachie is very good but we have similar already on contract. I was being nice, Makarounas is a fabulous attacking player but hates the hard stuff and of course Musky hates that. Stats - official FFA stats go to the CCM web page look up players select Austin and then stats. Any decent manager would immediately ignore such a player.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Austin is a squad player (at best) for a side running say 4th to 8th.

He plays like a rugby winger and was punted from a league 2 side dont forget.

Excites the "take more shots" NRL part of our crowd but i think we ought to get what we can

 

[Big Al]

Neither of those teams have anything to offer that we might want.

Maybe Elgy or what ever the left CB's name is.

MV might be using Danny's situation to try forge a deal.

If Austin has asked for a release, then that is very disappointing. One of the few positives of last year and I think he would be better with taveras

I think Makarounas would make a good back up creative midfielder he's definitely an improvement on Stella if he's signed as a starting eleven player I think it's a mistake but as a backup he could be very useful considering we have no players currently in that position.

Mitch refused to sign a new deals months ago so it comes as no real surprise. I would be quite happy to trade Mitch for Danny for a number of reasons.

1) We need a first team quality keeper.
2) If he doesn't want to be here then Mitch's output will drop
3) We need a first team quality keeper.
4) We have Bingham, Fletcher, Trent and McDonald that can all fill Austin's role - some better than he does - some worse.
5) We need a first team quality keeper.
6) We don't have anyone that can fill the first choice keeper role that would fill you with any confidence.
7) We need a first team quality keeper.

If true I would cut his pay
