Yorke close to signing with the Mariners

[Kareem]

i was about to get annoyed but then i read your 2nd post. I just dont see him having an offeild effect. I mean he should be good on the field.
Please be aware that I like the mariners even more with him. Me, Being Arab he used to be my favourite NSL player and my favourite Socceroo. So I'm not having a go at him (i looked up to him).

 

[SNOWMARINER]

Potential Socceroo and have watched him play before that IMO warrented further caps. I don't think he has realised his potential with Welllington but it certainly sounds like signing with the Mariners and his former mentor Lawrie has given him incentive to perform to the best of his ability and any club that has a national player in it's ranks is rewarding off the pitch.

I watched one Socceroos game (I can't remember which game) that made me consider that he was definately of great ability and was suprised that he was not playing the next one. I'm not sure whether this was to do with his injury or just the selection of the gaffer but personally I think you won't be disappointed next season. I hope I'm right.

 

[Kareem]

does anyone think his non-selection for WC06 may have been down to racism? I mean he was playing regularly for socceroos b4 that?

 

[Rowdy]

Oh yeah, definiitely. I mean look at the facts , pre September he was playing well then, on the 11th his chances went up in flames, then came crashing down. Really came from out of the 'blue yonder', makes you wonder doesn't it.

there's no small 'violin playing smiley' so this will have to do.  8)

i dont think so, he was playing regularly for the socceroos when farina was coaching, i think he only played one or 2 games under hiddink, which was probably because of the formation he was using compared to farina

lawrie said in the news tonight that the telegraph story was over the top

he said the club have compiled a list of ten overseas players that they could negotiate with and yorke is one of them

 

[trev]

Yorke would be a massive signing and it would be great to see him play in the yellow and navy colours instead of them sydney scummers

 

[Tez]

i heard frm a fairly reliable source that he could be coaching the youth Division - and still play for the mariners, and will probly be under the salary cap rather than be our marquee.
Which would be good because then we can still  go after another player for our marque..

 

[Flash]

I'd like to know the other overseas players before considering Yorke's signature.

 

[Tez]

iv heard rumors that one of them is dutch.. who has played for their national team

Perhaps we could get Lawrie and Lyall to set up a meeting with you before they continue further negotiations

 

[offtheball]

Tomorrow's Express Gorman still maintains the signing of Yorke is most unlikely.

Hope he's foxing because i still hve the image of Yorke sucking in three defenders and delivering a perfect pass to Corica in V1 GF burned into my brain.

If the Mariners signing Yorke pisses anyone off at Sydney then I'm happy about it.  irate:

 

[tyson]

speaking of Dutch, if we scored Dwight Yorke under the cap, and then Cocu (spelling?) as marquee, Sydney would hate it... didn't they pursue him?

Turnbull, Petrovski, Ceccoli, Yorke, Aloisi (in the first battle for his signature) and Cocu.
Poor Sydney.

That's the biggest laugh I've had at a post here yet. Bloody funny.

Edgar Davids

 

[~Floss~]

Hmm... the only thing making the DY rumour stronger than the Davids one is that it was picked up by the telegraph shortly after appearing on here.

The "Dutch" rumour does add weight to the Davids suggestion

 

[Marquee]

Who is better?
Yorke or Davids
