Player movements 2013/2014

[12th player]

Perez (Argentina) left because his wife was homesick.
At that stage JC was the only one we had that spoke Spanish.
We now have Caceres (Uruguay) & if we get Flores (Argentina ) that builds up the Spanish speaking contingent, which would lesson the effect of homesickness.
Not so silly really....

See your point.It would surely help him to adapt quicker. BTW, Caceres was born and raised in Liverpool, NSW. He's aussie. His background might be from Uruguay. The kid might not even speak spanish .

 

[localpom]

Would take Smeltz but isn't he a Kiwi? Not sure how many foreign pozzies we can take (4?). If so, and we get Flores then that is about it. No harm in another striker.....especially one as good as Smeltz, we would grow to love him. Matty,Mile,Kwas,Danny, can all play in midfield too so don't see us having an abundance of strikers. With Danny not having a rest for a year or so and no preseason i can't see him getting much game time till mid season anyway.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Reddy will be too expensive, even if he is free and plays for nothing, we could never afford him.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Reddy would fail the NDP massively.

 

[localpom]

Reddy would fail the NDP massively.

Agreed. Can't belive that this is a legit rumour. Also, JP deserves his chance. He has done absolutely nothing wrong when called upon.

 

[eenfish]

dont know why we would be.

unless we are going to be playing 4 up front

Hey now, the 2-3-5 formation was all the rage back in the 1890s. We've got the personnel for it, so why not?

We're allowed 5 visa spots, currently have two in Wee-Mac and Monty. Flores would make three. Smeltz would be four. Then a fifth spot... for Ambrosini? Or maybe they'll re-enter a new bid for Beckham...

 

[Gratis]

Pedj is now officially a smurf

definitely Pasfield over Reddy. he's worked under JC all this time and will have a cracking season for sure, and has most certainly earned his shot at 1st choice

Don't forget we need an extra visa for our African arrivals - Drogba or Roger Miller (might be nudging 60 by now - But how good would it be to see the hip swivel at Blue tongue - He'd be cheap!)

[FFC Mariner]

Lots of very good sources talking up the Reddy link.

Interesting feedback from 2 rusted on Mariners members last night while at ANZ. Both deferring membership if we signed him. On the grounds that the club will have totally departed from all of its core values.

In truth, knowing both of them, they will be there as always but I cant think of any potential/rumoured signing that has got loyal fans waiting to abuse the shit out of him from day 1.

He has to be up there with Sackwhack and that little Judas Holland as most loathed players by Mariners fans.

For me I'll support most players if they come to the Mariners but there are exceptions and you named 3 of them there.
Can't imagine Reddy getting anything but a whole heap of abuse every week from bay 16 if he does sign.

I believe gents that you will find both Musti and Patrick spoke spanish

 

[MagpieMariner]

Musti certainly did (and probably still does lol), but was Patrick here then?

 

[Kareem]

Patrick and Perez arrived same off-season

I remember hearing at the time that Patrick spoke Spanish...which I found interesting (since he spoke fluent English as well...I am a sad person)
