Errr, I'm the past I'd have said no thanks but as it stands you could be right

Nicky Carle?

http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2016/04/04/carle-eyes-league-swansong-after-horror-injury-run

He's an actual #10, he's going to be cheap, he's proven at this level (though obviously he's coming off a pretty horrible injury...).

Might be worth a gamble.

He didn't look too great at the end of his stint with Sydney and I think Mate Dugandzic would be a better option.

 

[Coach]

I heard a whisper that we are looking for a senior keeper from the Aleague. I would not be surprised if the name Ante Covic comes up. Now I would scoff at a 41 yr old but having thought about it he may be just what we need. Arrange defence, tough leader, won't accept second best, would drive the troops! He's also still a good keeper. Would be good I think

 

[sydmariner]

If we're going to go for a keeper around that age then I'd rather have Mark Schwartzer.

 

[Wombat]

Agree.
Ex scummer so not a popular choice but way better than Izzo even at 41.
With Covic at the back.....it's possible we wouldn't have got the spoon.

Swartz thinks he is 25 and is still having a love affair with UK and his wife is European.
He may never come back to Oz.

I did like Carle but he is very risky. Dugandzic on the other hand is a great little player.
I'd sign him in an instant.

 

[nebakke]

How long is Covic contract with Perff though?

he's just a scum reject & his brother was just a b-grade coastie reject.

I wouldn't rule out Danny, unfortunately for the wrong reasons for Danny. His young son is very sick. I believe his family is from western Sydney and his wife is a Coast girl. I would not be surprised to see him either in Sydney or here purely on the grounds of being closer to family support. Whatever happens I wish them all the best.

Leo was the talented one.

Yeah, BUT only on a '$'s for each game played' contract and as you said for cheap.

If he's fair-dinkum about wanting a swansong & wants that photo for 'the pool room' then he'll have to take minimum wage or thereabouts.

If not, then he's full of shit & 'tell him he's dreaming' .

He'll be lucky if anyone in the HAL gives him a chance - other than us, even if he proved he is back to fitness.

 

[Rowdy]

Leo was the talented one.

Yeah, but was shit at the cards on the away trips

Wonder if brother Leo's 'poker debts' to other Mariner's that went unpaid will be a bug-bear for Nicky ???

A hard bastard and a team player.
I can't see why we couldn't get 2 seasons or more out of him.
After that i could see him as a guy
That could fill a coaching roll.

 

[true believer]

Nick carle is 10 years past his best.
Look on , jog on.

A 6 inch or a Footlong ?

Agree, he's not the answer. I'd sooner bring back Flores.

Sad circumstances but would love Danny back. I would like to see 3 ex mariners back to strengthen the spine....Danny, Wilko and Matty (can't se it though). Add a couple of flair players (Number 10 and Hersi perhaps) and our young guys and we would be a hard team to beat.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Im with most of that LP, just think Roy is a much better starting striker than Matty and bingham as a backup may be a better prospect to develop at this stage. I personally think he's above where Matty was when he began.

So i'd like a striker who is as good or better than Roy - to both challenge and or be able to play both together. Bingham subbing on, Really, strengthen the spine and add another striker as good ss Roy, and we'll be a very side dangerous.

Josh Rose to be staying on til the end of next season at least
"....But that doesn’t mean the 15-year veteran plans to retire any time soon.

“I love playing and I know the day I retire will be a very sad day for me – I have one more year on my contract and I’d love to keep playing for as long as I can,” he said."
