Player movements 2013/2014

Is Culina worth the risk ... both injury and is he a CC type of person...

No and no, especially the latter.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

He would be a better fit at Newcastle. (with all the other dickheads)

Absolutely correct. Would be a huge mistake to have whiny, 'look-at-me-I-deserve-special-treatment-'cause-I'm-so-wonderful' Culina at our Club. It would ruin our team\Club culture.

Arnie can work miracles, but this one is even too big for him, I think.

Perfect fit for the Newcastle Scummers.

 

[Dutch Wives]

+1 to the calls that Sooky Culina is not Mariners material.

more club announcements coming later in the week...no idea regarding what though

Re culina, a 10 foot poll would be too close for comfort.

 

[true believer]

culina ,one best players i've seen play for the country.
yet a plague of sand flies would be more welcome.

Means we might have our first Testimonial!

*opens article*

The club will commemorate his decade at Bluetongue Stadium with a testimonial match to be played before the next A-League season.

Next year? We should really wait till season 10.

 

[adz]

He cops a bit but I think he's had a great year (tbf so has the whole team) - I like the Hutch/Monty pairing so it's good we will keep this going for a couple of years.

I don't think anyone fires up more than Hutch for the F3 derby!

to finish the sentence...

the next A-League season (after he completes a decade of service to the Mariners)

??

 

[MrCelery]

Hutcho is 'Mr Mariners' and bleeds yellow. Great news.

 

[Dutch Wives]

Much prefer keeping Hutch than Culina or Lucas.

Our squad is too good to mess up by throwing a Socceroo into the mix, imagine that.

 

[MrCelery]

Hutch>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Culina
Legend >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dickhead

 

[midfielder]

Read the comment by GA that you can build a club around people like Hutch... my guess he will get less game time but will help with the kids as they come tho the academy...

Seems the Japanese international deal is off for this season - though he is on a free from June

THE Mariners have failed in a bold bid to bring Japanese flair to the crescendo of their season, but chairman Peter Turnbull still hopes 31-cap international Daisuke Matsui could be at the club next year.
Central Coast had been negotiating a coup that would have brought Matsui to the Mariners for the rest of the A-League season and the Asian Champions League campaign, and the player is understood to have been keen on a short-term cut-price deal.
But Matsui's Bulgarian club, Slavia Sofia, have refused to release the 31-year-old without a transfer fee and the Mariners' ACL squad has to be submitted to the Asian Football Confederation on Tuesday.
The closure of the A-League transfer window also means the attacking midfielder, who played for Japan at the last World Cup, wouldn't be able to play in the last rounds of the domestic competition.
It comes as Western Sydney Wanderers continue talks with Matsui's compatriot, Shinji Ono, about him returning next season. Those negotiations are likely to continue into next week.

While it's understood that Turnbull still hopes that Matsui could be a target for next season, the Mariners do have the prospect of a more immediate - albeit less exalted - signing in former New Zealand Knights striker Kris Bright.
While Graham Arnold's squad heads to Perth to face Glory tomorrow, the 26-year-old will play for the Mariners youth team this weekend in a bid to win an injury-replacement contract as cover for Adam Kwasnik.
