Player movements 2013/2014

Neill??? Did I miss something?

wrong neill dude michael, NOT Lucas

 

[sydmariner]

McBreen? Sterjovski? Fitzgerald? Simon?
As all these players leave we are bound to bring players in. Mat Simon is a great addition. The leadership of Lucas Neil to replace the leadership of Patrick would be excellent. There will be others.

if anything sterjovski would retire, he's allready achieved in his career what most a-league players could only dream of, he played in the 2006 world cup, had about 50 or 60 caps 4 the socceroos, played alongside some of australias best players, (king) harry kewell,viduka,cahill,kenneddy,neill,t.vidmar,schwartzer,emmerton & aloisi

 

[sydmariner]

he is looking real heavy right now. real heavy

what about timmy it'd be win win 4 everybody

 

[Roy Law]

Best of luck to Mat Ryan, he has nothing left to achieve in Australia. It has been a pleasure to watch him play and I hope he responds to his new challenge and makes a big name for himself in Europe.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Yep good luck Matty. You've been a great Mariner. Respect and well wishes go with you mate.

With all those players leaving Matt Thompson would be an ideal signing.
He is the most versatile player in the A League,rarely misses a game, is supremely fit & fits the no dickhead policy.
Thommo also holds the record for the most A League games & has 4 Aussie caps.
At 30 yrs old he would be an asett to the Mariners

There you go again! Making sense!
People will find you out before too long!
He can play CB, DM and FB and for all I know Goalkeeper too.
If Ollie goes we need an experienced player to back up Monty and Hutch; Caceres can play there but may be used more as AM next season so Thomson would fit.
Mind you, does being a former scummer meet with the no dickhead policy? (Lawrie did try to sign him but he went to Heart for a lorra moolah...)
Oooh, I love speculation

 

[Jesus]

Thompson would have been on good money at heart. More money that it would be worth spending on a utility. Even with an extra man on the bench.

If he came at 1/3 of his previous price might be worth a look, if we lose 2-5 more players IMO

He can also play AM, forward, Left side & right side.
It didn`t seem to matter that Petrovski played for Newcastle & I rate Thommo way higher than him.
I`ve known him since he was about 10. I`ve coached his brother ( Sydney United) & I`ve known his parents for 20 yrs.
He comes from very good stock, (his father played at St George in their glory days).
Even when he made Matty look stupid he never enterred the dickhead arena.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Young Bragg is head and shoulders above his peers in the NSWPL.

Admittedly a very poor Academy side but he is outstanding. His passing is a joy. Very quick feet too.

Won't be out of place in the A League next season IMHO even if off the bench

he was @ ccm 1st b4 he was a scummer

 

[Forum Phoenix]

I rate Thompson. He made a mistake, it's true, but he also had the good sense to put Newcastle behind him and move on. Was also one of hearts best last year, and was surprised he did not get a contract.

 

[dibo]

He'd be coming in as a gap-filler, I'm not sure he'd knock any of our starters off.

considering how many of the 2013 side maybe missing. knocking off starters is unlikely to be an issue.

 

[12th player]

Drove my sister to the airport this morning and saw Birnie . Started talking to him and he told me he was off to china for a medical and that he'll be back in 2 weeks to pick up his stuff and head back to china again. Great kid. Good luck to him.

Bragg? Hmmmmm ...............I don't know how much you've seen him play, TBH, I don't see him as HAL material. Saw plenty of him in the NYL ( never a standout ) and PL . Could be better than his CCA ( last in the ladder) peers as there isn't much to pick from. IMHO, I reckon there are a lot of players better than Bragg in the NSWPL.

He may have had a look but that about the limit.
As far as I`m aware he had offers from quite a few clubs before he signed with Newcastle.

He could be signed as a gap filler but I`d be surprised if he didn`t force his way into our run on side somewhere.

 

[dibo]

Maybe at CB (where until/unless we hear confirmation otherwise we have Sainsbury and if not I'd be happier to see us nab Wilko or Neill), maybe RB (where I'd be happier to see us play Morton and get him developing), but his best spot (DM) is all locked up.
