[elevated position]

I would say if your not on contract look out

 

[Gratis]

yes, my apologies.
Way too positive on this forum.

Oh no, the mariners might only win 1 title this season.
Only won 3 awards at the a-league awards night
Only qualified for ACL 2 years in a row

Why can't we be more successful!

hehe, no complaints

Who is not on contract for next year??

 

[BaysideMariner]

Pedj will be leaving last I heard

He has been a great servant for us for many years but it is time for him to go and for Sainsbury to get regular game time.

 

[pjennings]

Who is not on contract for next year??

Patrick Zwaanswijk
Pedj Bojic
Stuart Musialik
Tom Rogic
John Sutton
Daniel McBreen
Brad Porter
Mustafa Amini - signed elsewhere
Sam Gallagher - signed elsewhere

 

[Wombat]

I'd keep Pedj, Dutchy and Rogic. Probably keep McBreen as a squad filler on a reduced contract. He has been very consistent this year.

 

[Kareem]

Porter gone
I think Musialik and Sutton (hopefully) will go

Heard McBreen is getting a 1 year extension (reduced $$$)

Bojic seems to be gone

I'd say we will keep Dutchy


Rogic isn't our choice...it's his!

And Zwaanswijk...definately want to keep him...but maybe he wants to retire on top.

I think Zwaanswijk and Rogic will do whatever Arnie does. If he stays I think we will keep both.

My first area of concern is DM. We have looked good at DM with Mile there and then with Rosytn. When they have not been there are whole attack seems to be ponderous in transition.

The second is a striker. We have never had a 'prolific' striker and I include Matty in that. The closest we have been is Aloisi as an injury replacement and Mori.

In my mind if we can hold Arnie and as a result hold Patrick and Tommy (who will have the advantage of a full pre-season) and then add quality for the DM and striker role we will be very hard to beat next year. How does that happen? The only answer I can see is more capital soon.

More capital?!!why not give our young talent the opportunity? If Pedj goes,I have no doubts that Oates can do the job and in DM Anthony Caceres will be the play maker that we're missing.All they need is game time.They'll be on small $$$ and will surely be better players than others that will cost the club big $$$ and might not perform.Lets blood our champion youth.

As a striker we have Duke as a great option.

He has been a great servant for us for many years but it is time for him to go and for Sainsbury to get regular game time.

I don't know about that, Sainsbury hasn't yet shown that he can get down the field and assist then be back in time to defend. Don't get me wrong I like the guy, a lot, and he will be a superb player, but for our system if we let Pedj go I reckoon we need someone who is proven for that role, who can add something Padj can't. In lieu of that I think we should keep him, he's solid.

Zwaanswijk quote -

“We will take the chance to sit down after the season has finished and discuss things, it’s not a case of if it will happen but when it will happen, both sides want a new deal and we’ll work one out. I’m going to sign."

[greenlig]

Yeah, I remember Zwaanswijk saying he was going to play on for another year. Surprised Duke didn't get more of a look-in this year with that nice goal he scored with Ibini/Amini.

[nikko]

When coaching staff are comparing him to Wolfrey Wolfe he is isn't making the grade.

the chicks at terrigal rate Wolfrey Wolfe

 

[marinermick]

Sainsbury is a centre back not a fullback.

 

[Roy Law]

McLenahan is a RB;

 

[BaysideMariner]

Sainsbury is a centre back not a fullback.

Didn't Wilkinson play there in his first season?

Yeah he did

Sainsbury has had limited opportunity but he definitely has talent.
He has shown in the games he has played that he likes to get forward.
As far as adding something that Pedj can`t, I think he offers us a football brain.
Sainsbury a)Doesn`t have the first otpion of playing back
b)Doesn`t see the opposition 18 yard box as the end of the
field
c) can put in a decent cross
d) will give us a more balanced attack
e) will give McGlinchey someone decent to work with

To me it seems like Pedj is looking for more $$$ while Arnie is looking for a higher standard of play to which Pedj is unable to achieve.
