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

[Big Al]

Tonyik got released but our social media team said not to us

 

[marinermick]

Please Nichols no

 

[Tevor]

I'm truly scared who these signings might be. Like how it is maybe up to 4 players but we have not heard any real rumors and it's half way through the month already. I would at least expect one rumor by now.

 

[rbakersmith]

This may or may not be encouraging:

Mulvey expects the club will be able to announce two new signings within the next week, with at least one of an international player.

Cisse is an international player and we know how that has turned out. He truly has to get this right and show some promise for next year, certainly isn't talking like a Manager under threat of losing his job.

how many spots do we have open? and who is likely to go to make room ?

Still not quite as bad as Asdrubal was.. Or Faty.... Jesys, when did we get so shit at international recruitment???

 

[Josho Howe]

No one has come close to what Zwaanswijk was for us. One of the main reasons Sainsbury is a Socceroos CB.

 

[Rowdy]

Hearing we're talking to the representatives of J. Christ of Nazareth FC

If we sign JC then I'm sure 'Judas' would 'want in', just to fcuk him &/us over
.... again.

 

[Rowdy]

CB Giancarlo Gallifuoco, recently quit SerieC Riete FC for personal reasons.



Absolute unit of a player, can play CB, DM or RB.
- played mostly as a DM as a junior.

Tottenham Hotspur, under Redknapp signed him at 16 yo on a 2 1/2 year deal to be a CB in their Youth Team.

Finished off his apprenticeship with Swansea City.

Had a season with Melb.Victory, but with only x6 appearances (difficult to break into XI as Victory won the double that year 2015) GG left to look for more game time.

Landed in the lower Leagues in England, Torquay and Dover before the move to Italy.

@dibo and I strongly called for his signing pre & post Jaques Faty/Taveraa era,but to no avail.

I've watched him play quite a bit when he was a part of the Olyroo's back when, and he is very adept on the ball with good technique and passing abillities ... akin to a Sainsbury type of player but who can also add height & size to the Defensive Midfield position if called upon.

Surely be a better signing than Cisse, doesnt take a visa spot as an Aussie and would be worth a 2-3 year deal imo.

 

[greenlig]

Ok Rowdy, you've convinced me. Take the club credit card and buy him, please. Thanks.

 

[Timmah]

From Wednesday's match thread

No mention of cisse.. did I miss something or is he actually on the outer?

As inferred above Cisse seems to be on the frog march out of the joint

 

[Coastalraider]

Ok Rowdy, you've convinced me. Take the club credit card and buy him, please. Thanks.

X2

 

[FFC Mariner]

Doesnt MN bring problems we got rid of last season?

 

[priorpeter]

Phew (in response to the Nichols rumour)

 

[Big Al]

Cisse still here for now

 

[Rowdy]

Doesnt MN bring problems we got rid of last season?

Agree, we ship off to Victory a player with a penchant for the 'powder' ONLY to bring in another with Mitch Nichols from across the ditch. - (who's surely on his last legs in the A-League)

Yeah, nah !!

 

[Big Al]

"I’m hoping we can make an announcement after the Melbourne City game.

"We’re looking at a couple visa spots and an Australian guy."

I'm almost dead cert it will be Mitch f**king white nose Nichols. The fact ccm responded to Harry's tweet just make it more probable.

f**k I hope I'm wrong.
