he is in the J league but i heard the money he is on is $150k. Don’t know how true that is. Was in fox football podcast i think when discussing the +1 and why teams don’t have. Asian players.

MM was saying tonight that Thai & Malaysian players would be reluctant to leave there own country as they have a lot of status amongst their countrymen whereas here they would be virtually unknown.

Bugger.

Safuwan Baharudin would be good, he was good for Melbourne City when he was there.

Give Dan Heffernan (the striker) a ring, might know some good Indonesian players from his time with Bali United.

Lol. You scared the shit out of me on that one JP. Very important to read past the first comma.

Where does the squad sit at the moment?
Who are the 10 contracted and who are 13 off contract?

Almost zero chance of that being true. Was getting $1 mill p.a. in Thailand but he is like a movie star there so was not interested in a move to U.K. even OZ.

I still talk to him. Top bloke.

He got a pay rise of 40,000 USD a month in December 2017 for the remainder of his loan in Japan. That is a over a $600,000 payrise.

Behind a paywall, but "Sydney FC's Matt Simon could be heading back up the F3"

HE’S barely been in the job five minutes, but we understand Mike Mulvey already has his first target in mind - bringing Matt Simon back to Gosford.

The Sydney FC target man has hit form at the back end of the season, scoring three goals in five games. He may not have left the Mariners on the best of terms two seasons ago, but we hear that’s unlikely to play a part in whether he decides to return or not.

New Mariners manager Mike Mulvey is believed to want to bring Sydney FC striker Matt Simon back to the club.
Affectionately called the “Wizard of Woy Woy”, Simon’s potential return to his home town would no doubt be a huge boost for the club and region.

I don't care for the knockers, I'd love to have him back.

Someone check Syd hasn't passed out.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

I have been watching his play for SFC over the past season and have been fairly impressed. He is not scoring goals but his ball skills seemed to have improved as has his support play. His heart has never been an issue. If cheap could be a useful squaddie.

LMFAO (not yet) he’s from east Gosford not woywoy so that would make him “the emperor of east Gosford”

He may not be the silver bullet we need right now but I'd be very happy to have Matty home

Dose of Mariners spirit right there

Agree, although he's past his best years having him in on the field will bring passion back into the stands and the shirt.
I see Matty as a Cahill type impact player, bring him on for the last 20 mins.

He's probably scored more goals at Central Coast Stadium in the last 3 seasons than any of our own strikers!

 

[Big Al]

Oh no.

He has everything we want except goals which we need desperately.

I love Mat and still cheer for him at SFC but I’m far from convinced he’s going to get the job of scoring done.

His 15 minute cameos has only been to protect leads. We better be in front is all I’ll say.

That said I’d rather his fight than any of the other players I’ve seen except Monty since he left.

Be interested to see who else might leave now Arnie is moving on

After my rant after the SydneyFC game, I don't quite know how to feel about this - no wonder I enjoy kickboxing, all this confusion and frustration has to be expressed somehow!

Once that's said, with Powell and Bingers presumably on the way out and Rosie definitely going, there's a certain argument along the lines of what I made in wanting to keep him around, when we first let him go. If he can rekindle a love for the club, I reckon he's the sort of character who can spark it around him... As long as it's as a backup forward, I certainly don't think he's worse than Powell or Bingers - probably fairly on-par but with more mongrel.
But perhaps more important, is the signal MM sends with this, as compared to Paolo's letting Hutch go, it certainly doesn't hurt the connection to the club's history...
Let's see...
