Player movements 2013/2014

Money talks...players walk.

First I heard of WeeMac potentially going, was admitted - at the time - as outright speculation with absolutely NO foundation in rumour or realities. Somehow it seems to have gotten legs all on it's own - as we say where I'm from
Sofar, whenever I've heard or seen it mentioned, it's been as entirely unfounded rumour, not even the sort of thing that was claimed as "insider sources say", so to me, this is pure speculation at this point, caused by discussions about who Arnie would potentially take with him IF he was to bring anyone etc. etc... I honestly don't see it either... I really rate WeeMac... A LOT... And I know nothing of Sendai... AT ALL... But I would assume that, finally having a budget to work with, Arnie would be curious about the experience of actually shopping for some of the more expensive players, to see what he can do with a potentially higher rated team in a tougher league.
That's not to say that WeeMac won't go/be poached somewhere eventually, as mentioned, I do rate him... Just don't think it'll be to Sendai...

this is what I think/hope too

Reports Moss is keen on bringing Bernie back BUT says we'll have to offload players for it to happen?? Que mcglinchy!!??

 

[scottmac]

Losing McClinchey for Bernie would be suicide for us. I find it hard to believe that we have a spot available but don't have the cap space.

 

[scottmac]

Anyone thought about losing both Sainsbury & McGlinchey in Jan?
I'm sure more than just Arnold has their sights on them.

Yep - Telegraph says Trent keen on Europe
Both articles Re: Ibini

[scottmac]

Everyone knows Trent is keen on Europe, that's nothing knew. What I'm suggesting is that while all the articles are talking about losing one to make way for Bernie (as ridiculous as that is) we may lose both even without getting Bernie.
Especially with the way MC has been talking.
Let's hope mossy has a contingency plan. Backs are ok. Ando & Griff are both capable but Weemac is irreplaceable. Unless the young fella we signed for nyl is ready to do an Amini

I would hate to lose either Glinch or Sains. Of the two I suspect we are more likely to lose Sainsbury. He would probably be the easiest loss to cover. Let's face it McGlinchey is irreplaceable.
But yeh, I would take Bernie back at the right price.

But would you take him back at the expense of either Sainsbury or McGlinchey?

 

[pjennings]

In spite of what Mossy says we can sign Bernie without making room in the cap. 3 under 21 players can be outside the cap which should allow for a half season loan move very easily.\.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

No and nor would the club move either of them on just to free up cap space. However if either of them had a better offer to move to a bigger league the club would not stand in their way.

quote of note:
"With Vegalta having gone cold on the idea of signing an
Australian player, their attention has switched elsewhere"

Arnie's best service for the mariners this year will be to take a star from another A-League club.

But seriously unless they are tight as well surely he can be getting better players with the coin they'd have?
Berisha might be pretty good but it maybe shows Arnie only knows the A-League when it comes to scouting.

Lets face it where still waiting for the Africans that he was thinking about for us unless his geography his pretty bad & thinks Argentina is in africa.

Interesting the Vegemite sandwiches have gone cold on getting an aussie.

He could be having a bit of fun stirring the pot with other clubs?

. who arnie? surely not

 

[FFC Mariner]

Can you imagine if he took the Pikey? Oh joy

Central Coast mentioned. Could be our own "Big man Japan"?

Might be a better option than Ibini with the ACL.

If he plays wide then maybe, but if he's a front man then why
