Yorke close to signing with the Mariners

[Sym]

A fit Nik Mrdja is the best striker in the a-league by far

 

[Sym]

One of His freekicks also nearly destroyed a post at home to Sydney

 

[shipwreck]

So 95% on another marquee who isnt Yorke and we should be delighted with him?
Or Suprised and relieved that it ISNT Yorke?

 

[Atomic]

Absolutely WONT be Yorke - expect to be surprised (and delighted)

source and what is happening?

Sworn to secrecy..........95% done though

Any idea of when it might be announced?

 

[Andy]

Has it stopped shaking yet?

Fit Mrdja would easily be one of the best players in the league IMO.

 

[graaant]

Greenpole hated the idea of Yorke, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was surprised and delighted that it just ISN'T Yorke

 

[skilbeck]

Greenpole please dont leave us in suspense

 

[shipwreck]

Yeh, i have a feeling your right graaaant,
We'll be surprised because we all thought it was a done deal
And we'll be delighted because he was gonna be bad for the club, apparantly

But....it still would be nice if it turned out to be because someone else who is SURPRISING and DELIGHTFUL was the reason

that's pretty lousy !    the first time you enter this thread is just as we are ready to accept that Dwight Yorke is coming to the Mariners...but then you tell us "no he's not" and then you won't spill the beans.....didn't your mum tell you not to keep secrets ?  the problem for you is that no one will believe that you already know, unless you actually tell someone before it's announced.....so why not let me know and I can verify your story when Lyall or Lawrie tell all.....and I can then tell everyone "Greenpoleffc was right" !

They are definantly not sydney slops. It just shows how incompetent Sydney are. Look at the coach they employed! Once he gets his hands on Sydney good and proper and is not working with Branko Culina's set up, you watch him stuff it up and lose his cool. I feel a nostradamus moment coming on!! I can see Kosmina and Breeze toe to toe froth coming from the mouth of the SFC coach and Breeze showing him a red card!!!

Yeah you are right....a coach who wins adelaide the premiership year 1, makes the grandfinal with adelaide season 2 and then rescues sydney season 3 is a terrible coach ???

You have no idea, Brankos set up had them struggling at the bottom, kossie went in and played a different style using different players and sydney made the finals, almost claiming the premiership. He has now signed 4 good players in Aloi$i, colosimo bridge and musilak.

But despite all that, he is a bad coach :

Did i say he was a bad coach? Or did i say he will stuff it up?
Branko's results from the ACL prove that his setup could work and if he was given the chance with Bridge at the front as Kosmina was his results would have been different.
Sydney didn't nearly claim the premiership, the Mariners nearly lost it. V4 is the only thing that will prove Kosmina's worth.
(Not that i care either way i can't stand the guy. Thank God for Lawrie!!)

Did anyone watch Foxsports yesterday? Apparently our CEO has said we are not looking to buy a Marquee Player. Can someone confirm this?

 

[graaant]

That's true, if we can get a good squad without having a marquee, we won't.

Give our past form -
We are not signing Tony Vidmar / We have signed Tony Vidmar
We are not signing John Aloisi / We have signed John Aloisi
We are not looking to buy a Marquee Player / We have signed ......

 

[graaant]

Shh, don't tell everyone our tricks!

 

[tyson]

if they are signing someone else instead of yorke, then they must think it is better than yorke, so im happy.

 

[bjw]

is it Josip Skoko by any chance?

 

[Andy]

is it Josip Skoko by any chance?

It wouldn't surprise me tbh.

About 5 years younger than all-night-dwight as well.

 

[skilbeck]

is skoko a creative midfielder?

 

[fish]

Is the Skoko link from anywhere other than someones mate who was down the shops and overheard someone maybe possibly say skoko which could have been "i wish we had snow cones at the mariners games"
