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

[turbo]

I am not liking the noise coming from MM at the moment. Recruiting another DM and two more defensive options, when the team’s pressing need is clearly higher up the park just makes no sense to me sorry.
Unless one of the rumoured new players is a quality keeper (and by that I mean goalkeeper), then I will be very cheesed off, especially when we look likely to not be able to field a single experienced striker on Weds.

I dont think another defender or two is a bad thing, clearly based on recent selections MM has little faith in Cisse or Golec and marginally more in Clisby. But they shouldnt be short term deals, we need to be improving our defence and creating a foundation for next season as well. Also our most promising performances have come against a 9th placed Roar that's very hot and cold and City who aren't the most attacking team at the moment, lets not assume too much about our defensive strength until tested a bit more.

No noise on a like for like replacement for Ross as we were told is a worry, I can't help but wonder if we've got all our eggs in one basket and are likely to come out of it empty handed with a shrug and a "well we tried". Simon wouldn't get a starting gig anywhere else in the league and we're expecting a lot from him. He's averaging a goal every 262 minutes and has one season in double digits. We can all see the effort he is putting in but it alone doesn't score a lot of goals.

If the word on Jem joining for 6 months is true it's an unusual choice, will be interesting to see how that one works out.

Kennedy agent says Hi

And he would have been quite a reasonable number two if Mulvey signed a proper keeper

 

[NoDiggity]

Speaking to a player last night and he said we have a signing arriving tomorrow and either one or two players arriving AFTER the Adelaide game on Sunday.

 

[Insertnamehere]

Currently our squad for next season.

Gauci (Scholarship so may not count to squad size)
McGing
Melling
McGlinchey
Oar
Shabow
Simon

It is difficult to know what to say.

Don't forget DdS

We may hold his contract but it is unlikely he will feature in our squad.

Can’t even agree with that. He should never have been signed. A permanent backup coming off an achilies injury over and NPL keeper. No way. Our Keeping recruitment has been horrendous recently.

However i meant as that type of deal does get done not as a pisstake. But both works

We absolutely should have that clause in NPL players contracts and you can always not pick them if you don’t want them and pick them if you do.

 

[Rowdy]

At the very least there should be a trigger clause. You play a certain amount of games in a season and that triggers another one or two years.

That protects you against the duds.

EXACTLY what I was saying a while back !

Its a 'Ben Kennedy' Contract'
... BUT 'in-reverse' !

Kennedy only had to play X number of games and then HE had the option of activating the 2nd year of the contract.

With Millar and ANY OTHER PLAYER'S we bring in from NOW and till ETERNITY:

THE CLUB SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO ACTIVATE
..... not the player !!!

This is basic shit that the club are fcuking up, & shows that there is a real HOLE within the Football Dept. that has been created/from ever since Lawrie left at the end of the Arnie era.

The deals that were the most fruitful for this club ALL CAME from Arnie's insistence that both Ryan & Rogic's contracts had sell-on clauses that pay CCM XYZ% of sale price to the next club that either Brugge or Celtic sell to.

Ryan's paid handsomely, Rogic's expired because he re-signed at Celtic (and that can be future avoided with clause of additional re-signing with the buying club )

You'd think Phelan would KNOW 100 different ways to structure a deal that ultimately benefits CCM in the long run with these speculative player's.

What did we get for the $$$'s spent on Phelan's review ...... NOT even a training module on - " 101 - Basic - Arse - Contracts for Dummies"
- & IT'S AVAILABLE on eBay NOW :

Thankz Mike ...... & thankz Mike

Which is what most people expected. A new number 1 - Gauci as a project and BK as a backup

 

[FFC Mariner]

Watched a lot of Pearce in NSWPL2 and anyone who believed he deserved an AL contract should have their coaching quals cancelled.
He is a local keeper at best.

We may hold his contract but it is unlikely he will feature in our squad.

but still nothing announced by the club on signings....or exits ????

 

[Antlion]

Our new Jem is supposed to arrive today, yes?

(The media is going to have a cringe-worthy field day with his name aren't they?)

 

[Big Al]

Needs to get off the plane and have his photo taken in the shirt for the release. Probably tomorrow but wouldn’t worry they’ve told that many people it’s no secret he is coming

I went full stalker style and looked at Jems girlfriends Instagram account (side note: she’s hot as). She put up on her insta they left last night with a stop over in HK then arriving here today. He’d have some stuff to sign, get the standard shirt holding photo then they’d announce when they think would benefit them most

Bit rude not sharing her username mate. Selfish too, might I add..

Speaking of instagram, Gameiro trained today by the looks of it (ccm account posted a clip of him)

Was anyone there to confirm how much he did?

He seriously needs to get back on the pitch, I want him playing for us. It’s beyond frustrating that he’s stealing a pay cheque for just niggling injuries. With no club update. He’s a good player.

Just_lka.. eat your heart out



I did go down to training today at 10;45 but the boys were leaving.. must’ve trained earlier due to the heat

Yeah went ahead and did some solo investigating. She’s fantastic, so we know we’re getting an intelligent player.
He’s also bringing his golf clubs.

 

[greenlig]

C'mon guys, don't think we need to be wolf-whistling on this forum. Plenty of other places to salivate over instagram pics, doubt the squad thread is one of them.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Agree 100%

 

[BrisRecky]

So, Gameiro is on paid holiday ain’t he....whose calf can be that badly damaged , yet the recipient ain’t on crutches or even got a mild limp....hell, he ran up the steps, past us, to the players box on Sunday night....I don’t get it
