Mariners Squad - HAL 12 - 2016 - 2017

[Mini In Bay 6]

Apparently we are about to announce a new signing. A midfielder perhaps.
I hope he is a good one.

Connor Pain?

 

[dibo]

Weak.

 

[Wombat]

Apparently a decent player BUT sometimes CCM's idea of a decent player is misguided.
Fingers crossed!!

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Connor Pain?

Either Pain or Makarounas I would say. Pain hasn't improved in three seasons at Victory and all he has is pace. Disappointing from Mitch Austin when considering his future before we signed him (non league or NPL). Hoping beyond hope that it's Inman but that seems to be a pipe dream.

 

[Wombat]

It can't be Makarounas because he is no longer on Victory's books. Maybe Conor Pain?

 

[Wombat]

Pain for Austin is a fair swap.

Rumours we were in talks with Makarounas before though. Seems less like a swap and us just deciding to let Austin go. If it was a swap I would say Victory would have released a statement as well.

You cant blame any player leaving after they gain some interest from other more proffesionally run clubs. We attracted some of the young players to the club as an opportunity to get exposure and that we are a 'selling club' then thats what we get...... so Victory will be playing Juventus soon.. more exposure and we will do a tour of canberra or orange....

Pain's an interesting one, would be a good pick-up IMO. He hasn't developed a lot at Victory over those three seasons but it's also fair to say he hasn't had the chance to crack it in a championship squad.

Decent signing if true.

Yes you can. He's contracted to the club and only had interest because he was given a chance. Can't see him being afforded the same latitude at any other club.
Full blown c**t

“Mitch requested to terminate his contract which highlights why the FFA should re-consider the rules around transfer fees between Hyundai A-League Clubs, if not the smaller clubs are just going to develop players and lose them to bigger clubs with no compensation,” Storrie said.

Renewed Central Coast Mariners Members should keep an eye on their e-mails on Friday morning at 9:30am for the exclusive announcement of a new signing.

No swap, very ordinary business, will contain the rage until 9.30 when either gets better or worse

There is nothing in that which indicates that there hasnt been a swap, in fact it suggests there has been given the new signing announcement to come

Mitch Austin is joining Melbourne Victory and Connor Pain is signing for Central Coast

Poor release announcement by CCM should have just done the swap notice at same time as MV.

Personally I like it. Connar is a more skilled player IMO and has stalled badly at MV. Considering Austin wanted out club has done some decent business here. Hope a 2 yr deal for pain is part of the deal

 

[FFC Mariner]

Connor Pain is younger and not a perpetual sicknote.

Take him over the blonde Appiah all day

To be fair to the club, this way they get to make the point that the rules at present are perfect for the bigger clubs to tap up wantaway little shits and force the little clubs into deals they may not be that keen on.

In a better system, we'd at least be able to tell Victory to pay up or f**k off and then choose for ourselves who to get rather than having to shop from the maybe 6 or so Victory players they're happy to let go.

Still could have done that in a swap announcement.
Have left people spewing if only for one night.
On here we went looking for a link which is still a rumour that it's a swap.
Why not say we have had to swap players as Austin was going to cause problems with team moral, we will announce the player tomorrow or just wait till tomorrow for release and announce. Just seems very dumb and stirring up an already pissed off fan base

Didn't think Muscat would be big on porcelain Prima Donnas with no ticker.

I can just imagine the first training session for Austin @ Victory:-

Muscat: I`d like to welcome Mitch to the side..blah blah blah! Now get out there & do a few laps
Austin: I can`t coach my foot is hurting
Muscat: Pack your bags & fck off then!!
