How did he ever manage to snag a contract with Roma in the first place? His agent must be good! Also have it on good authority that Wales was training/fitness with MC NPL on the weekend...so he is definetly there.
ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

We'd be the only club that can fit $500k into our cap space for just a young player with potential - which is all DDS is at this point. Presuming that we only contribute $150k still.
He should take this opportunity by the horns to get regular game time in the no-nonsense team Mulvey is building.
If he doesn't want it - don't let the door hit you on the way out.
It's win win for Mulvey. Either we keep him and he has a red hot go to get his career in track, or, we don't and let go a player who's heart isn't in it and costs too much.
It's actually in our best intrest (the fans) for him to go cause that's 350k towards the floor that MC needs to spend extra without him there.
Correct, we were paying $350k BELOW the floor last season thanks to the DDS/Roma dealAre you saying the 350K Roma pay we count as our payment ...
Agreed. I actually think De Silva is a decent guy, albeit ruthless, ambitious, and entirely focused on his own career. Grella has a lot to answer for though. He was dead against De Silva coming to us, repeatedly delayed the deal, negotiated the Okon get out clause, and leaked that De Silva wanted out. Football would be a whole lot better if we just got rid of agents.I am sure his agent has plenty to do with his current situation.
What goods a get out clause if no one is willing to pay to actually get you out of your contract. Hahaha.Agreed.

Prrsonally I think many here have been overzealous in regards to DDS. I reckon grella has 99% of this shite to answer for. I would suggest DDS just said to Vinnie suss out the interest and we'll go from there, expecting he would actually have some and probably thinking Vinnie would keep his mouth shut. What he didn't expect was his agent dudded him in that he's a 150k player getting 500k. That's somewhere near top marquee money, 10k/wk. Not even citeh will suck that lemon without total control of his contract.I'm not sure how much truth is in this but, I was told his dad has told him to suck it up, stay and rebuild some severely damaged bridges. Especially with the fan base!!!!!
It would seem his family are aware of the apparent attitude problems.
Very good pointIt's actually in our best intrest (the fans) for him to go cause that's 350k towards the floor that MC needs to spend extra without him there.
So how is that in our (the fans) best interest?It's actually in our best intrest (the fans) for him to go cause that's 350k towards the floor that MC needs to spend extra without him there.
Not sure you could describe finances as deteriorating when your spending the minimum required.He is implying that MC would be forced to spend the extra 350k on other players (to reach the salary cap floor)
So our squad would improve, but our finances would deteroriate...
Most fans would prefer this scenario.
But it doesn't make it the logical option.
