Mariners Squad - HAL 14 - 2018- 2019 - The challenge for Mike Mulvey is over

[Offsider]

I've been ignoring Offsider's stuff for a while now. You could tell there was something going by the posts so it piqued my intrest and unignored to be faced with the reason why I ignored in the first place.

Thank you .......... I obviously confuse you with the use of punctuation marks.

but I think I notice a trace of humour in there scottmac ............ and you did refer to me with a capital “O”...........

No one is getting carried away by the result of a trial game. I think the main points are that we comfortably beat a strong team and weren't threatened. This result won't matter when the season starts but it's good signs that we looked like a good team in the game yesterday and Mulvey has got the team playing within his tactics and structure a month out from the start of the season.

There will be more trial games to come and they will be judged accordingly.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

And that our attackers showed signs of linking together well

 

[Coastalraider]

Im ready for a sweet little Friday afternoon press release....

I think all of us are not expecting miracles. But we are expecting improvement, more fight and a good chance of either making the 6 or been in it coming into the last few games.

Lol. The big O. That could be your new nickname Offy.

You can be the moaning pensioner as much as you like but don't diss Bikini Girl Offy.

That's the only rule on here, ok blud ?

Matty Simon and MMM are both fighters. The game against Adelaide (with 4 or 5 yoof playing) was woeful but since then we are starting to look like a Football team.
Still a couple of jigsaw pieces to fix and then its game on.

Ross McCormack being linked to a $13m move to the Seattle Sounders.

Bummer , I hope we've got a striker plan B.

That’s shitty pay back Hutch.

I actually do think Matty can lead us, so was worried McCormack might cause ripples - depending on attitude - our system and who needed to be left out - or we’d play Matty as a false nine. But now question is can Gameiro and Murray give us enough potency up front to make a real go of it this year... possibly.

But McCormack... well reason he’s getting a 13 mill pay check.

not good

 

[pjennings]

Only a rumour at this stage so don't give up yet!!

That's ahhh....bad news

 

[Josho Howe]

Where's that McCormack to Sounders rumour come from???

Was from https://metro.co.uk/sport/ Can't seem to find it anymore??

Ah ok, makes sense. I just google'd ''ross mccormack seattle sounders'' and nothing came up. What l found interesting though was he is on 40k a week at Villa. Villa would have to offer to pay what 70-80% of that if we were to get a deal done.

 

[scottmac]

Yeah I've done an exhaustive search and can't find anything. Apparently there are clubs in Turkey willing to take him if his contract is torn up but I don't think the lifestyle there will suit. Wil be interesting how this plays out. He has options

 

[priorpeter]

Hahahahaha oh dear.
That McCormack to sounders rumour was from @transfersbot on twitter, which gives us such reputable rumours as Chelsea bidding £6.8m for Sergio Ramos, and Newcastle United readying a £16m bid for Messi. Oh my days.

 

[Wombat]

Seattle have $13m to splash....I don't think so.

 

[Ozhammer]

I spoke with a solid source after yesterday’s game and was told that MC has loosened the purse strings to sign the rumoured better players, so that is most encouraging.
