    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.

Player movements 2013/2014

I heard straight from the man himself today that it is all rumours. NO movement from Sainsbury!

I have to admit, I was left wondering a little, after reading a comment from Trent somewhere, saying something to the extend of how he has had one good season, that's far from a good career and so, he's still consulting with others about whether going is the best move... I paraphrased quite a bit there as I couldn't find the article right now. But it left me feeling like he was indicating that he intends to stay for another year in order to better establish himself before moving on. That perception gels fairly well with what you posted dpro, so suits me quite fine :) I figured that it was just the little hopeful child inside me that saw that in the article ;)

Unless of course Mike Charlesworth decides the club needs the money...

I think Trent is ready... And we definitely want the money

But Bolton is the wrong team...bad football and they might move him to RB
He should stay as a CB

On Bernie...
He definitely needs another year, but with 1 year on his contract...the club won't actually try to persuade him to stay
And i would rather sell him tbh

I think the time for bernie to go is now. He had a sniff and it lifted him heaps. If he stays he will stall IMHO. He needs to go and keep his ambition burning to be the best he can be

Can't agree at all.....regarding Bernie.

I hear you Jesus...BUT....On a selfish level, I want him to stay and show us his best. He still has a lot if development to go and I don't want him to be another no mark Aussie that comes back after two years to get the splinters removed.
He is a rough diamond that I want us to polish and the bottom line is he is a very important part of our team.
I'd like to see a further year put on his current contract.

Ibini needs to be careful where he goes, don't want to do a Djite who was looking like a socceroos prospect but spent too long sitting on German benches

I just have a different opinion regarding youth

I'd prefer to see them destroying the comp like Rogic, Rojas and Kruse with consistency before they go to the cut throat nature of European football.
And don't forget not everyone is lucky enough to end up at Celtic :p

Yes, but really Bruce was stupidly over hyped by some of the Oz pundits. Was just never that good really. Bernie has showed far more than Bruce ever did imo.

Just Wanted to ask now that aleague and group stage of acl are done ...what's the deal with the contracts of Matty mcbreen patty and sains ? Will they be playing in the champs games in a few weeks ?
Are their contracts finished now ?

Berni needs more time but not sure the A league has the quality to help him improve & now is time to sell. Lets face it if we improve him even more next season he will definitely go & we get nothing. Sell him now you must sell players with overseas ambitions before there contract expires to get some cash for them. While it sucks a small team like the coast needs to cash in on every player who is capable of attracting a transfer fee - Especially when they will go any way when there contract expires.

Good luck Berni but you must be sold - Bring back the Wanderer who player for Hersi Bar at the GF - Super quick good feet just needs game time & he will flourish like Berni then we can sell him to.

Contracts finish end of may. Sains contracted for next year.

Bernie & Maty off to Lille for 10 days & back for the round of 16

Agree.

Bernie just needs composure on his last decision & he would be great. Currently looses his head when he has time to decide what comes next.

I think he would be great in a right back position, he has the speed to get around most opponents, work his way forward and then lay of the ball. his defensive skills look sharper than his finishing also
