Player movements 2013/2014

Strong word about that the worst has happened and Liam reddy will sign tomorrow.

 

[shipwreck]

Noooooooooooo

 

[Atomic]

Nooooooooooo

 

[dibo]

Farken.

It's poor form to quote yourself and all that, but I think it's important that we all learn this song:

"Go back to the scum
Go back to the scuuuuuuuuuum
You don't belong here
Go back to the scum"

Better yet, given that there'll be no local community businesses interested in sponsoring him, we should get it put up on the big screen when his face comes up pre-game. Don't want to take any chances that people don't know the words.

About that......
Hearing he's been signed as first choice. No joke

 

[Gratis]

oh dear. Justin doesn't deserve that, especially for a poo bag.
Gatty is confirming signing on twitter too...

 

[Gratis]

I find this hard. on one hand Reddy has earned his poor regard, on the other I want to support the team, the coach who deserves our trust and the team spirit.
any booing or the like at games would be disappointing in that it could create a loss of morale for the players and weaken the trust in their keeper which could be critical at key moments.
also I feel the club has earned the right to some trust with all they've done over the years and they'd have weighed this up well aware of general fan sentiment.
if it's going to happen like it or not I think I'm just going to try and ignore the history and hope for the best, for the teams' sake

That about sums up my feelings.

What it says is that the well of talent has run dry, there is no young gun challenging for an A League spot. Reddy is not the best keeper I have ever seen but he certainly has played some blinders against the Mariners. I leave it to Arnie and his team to manage Reddy's dickhead traits and get the best out of him professionally. I would be surprised though if he is the No.1 choice. it really underlines the severity of the loss of young Mat Ryan (who appears to be doing very well at Club Brugges)

. spoke to arnie briefly on saturday ... he confirmed a signing was imminent

. i wasn't brave enough to ask specifics, because: i didn't know how to do that without using expletives; knew he wouldn't tell me anyway; and didn't want to 'know' if it was going to happen

. what he did say was that there was not much out there to choose from and that he trusts JC can work his magic ... but the signing was a back-up for justin - and deservedly so

 

[bikinigirl]

. afterwards i realised i should have asked: is the signing likely to damage team morale and/or supporter sentiment

... but i was ill-prepared, sorry

 

[FFC Mariner]

Allegedly, the staff are well aware of the general loathing of this piece of scum. They are fans too and remember.

What Arnie wants, Arnie gets and this is a worrying trend and shows terrible weakness.

Ill support my team but not him. Ever.

Abuse until he is gone.

Wonder which poor club will have him as their designated Mariner?

bring on all the haterid I say

 

[localpom]

Oh well, he's signed lets get over it. JC is a very astute goalkeeping coach and Arinie and co are well aware of his past. I'm sure they have given this much thought and can see some potential. I'm not saying i am happy with this but at the end of the day the club is bigger than any one player. He may be a dickhead but he is our dickhead now.

 

[shipwreck]

Im not thrilled, he is a dickhead we all know this.

I'll never forget Perez, Matty Simon or even his punchable face. All I can hope is that he has been eating a solid diet of humble pie these last few years and the time away from first team A-league football has changed his attitude completely.

I also hope that the basis of Arnie and Co signing him was that they identified a broken man who's douchebag past led him to where he was today and he is hungry and talented enough to prove everyone wrong, including the loyal yellow fans who have already written him off.

I hope you are reading this Liam, we don't like you, prove us wrong.
