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

[Kalvin]

Ok cool... when are we announcing a decent signing?!

 

[Insertnamehere]

If we play 532 then having 2 screening DM's gives us effectively a 7 man defence when we dont have the ball. If both screeners can play the ball out (ie not Melling) then a quick counter is on.

That would involve O"Neill at 10

I think we get a bit obsessed about having a 10. If you've got a midfield 3 like that a 10 isn't the be all end all. Plus I still think oar is worth a run there.

 

[Big Al]

Sorry, was just reaffirming my earlier post.



Him liking CCM page & a post for them doesn’t necessarily mean confirmed, but pretty likely.

@marinermick I think you’ll find he’s played bugger all games since leaving Victory

Be interesting for how long. 6 months or 18months

IMO, it's pointless signing anyone now unless we are looking at next season too. If we can have an improved second half to the season that flows into next that would be the best outcome.

I do agree with this but I also think we’re in damage control at the minute. With the FFA breathing down our neck, I think the club will have to make a few temporary signings to show that we can still be competitive. This is the only reason why we’d sign Fornaroli, it’s not to push for a top 6 spot or anything like that.

Barring Millar, we don’t have the pace to be a counter attacking side (or the distribution)

It’s true...

We just need a clever, creative, central midfielder who can work well in tight spaces, beat a man and play a proper through ball... ahhh damn... I’ve just described a number ten

Seriously, we lack a quality playmaker, no getting around it I think.

 

[scottmac]

They seem pretty adamant

That just means he hasn't signed the paper yet. Maybe tonight?
It's all bad for me until I see it

Isias isn't a 10...
We need a playmaker but it doesn't have to be a 10

From memory the club doesn't usually respond to his sort of speculation unless they can rule it out.

I think we could with Hiariej, Millar, Pain and Murray.

 

[AuzDutchy]

CB and CDM being looked at says Mulvey

 

[Fadetoblack944]

And hopefully 2 players signed tonight. 1 experienced and 1 youth

You heard it here first.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Millwall contract cancelled yesterday, ex Reading, good player

 

[Coastalraider]

Jem Karacan

You heard it here first.

His wiki page said his contract at Millwall finished on the 15th...

 

[Michael]

Similar kind of player to tommy h from my vague memory of him.
If he’s been training regularly I’d have no qualms seeing him off the bench for 20 then starting next to Tom and aiden.
Must be atleast an 18month contract though.

 

[Josho Howe]

I fixed it guys

I actually heard the rumour somewhere else first lol

Maybe, but did hear it on this forum here first.

By the way your source was probably my source on this one.
