Does anyone know which mariners are off contract at the end of this season?

I would assume Mrdja is on the list.

You've got a typo there mate should replace the word "assume" with HOPE!!

 

[cbowden9000]

Lets say that if Mrdja and Kwasnik were to go I'd be very happy, and if Porter and Doig left I wouldn't be sad.

CONTRACT EXPIRES END OF SEASON ????????
#1) Jess Van Stratten (gk)

From what I understand Van Stratten has penned a new 2-year deal.

Some big priorities there - Dutchy, Wilko, WeeMac and Pedj. I think Kwas will be signed because of his versitility but I cannot see how the other three will get a contract.

With probably Wilko, WeeMac and Pedj probably seeking more money it still will not make much room to move in the cap.

Might be time to rename this the 2011/2012 Player thread

 

[cbowden9000]

We MUST keep Pedj! He has grown as a player and I seriously would not want another right-back while he's playing this good!

CONTRACT EXPIRES END OF SEASON 2010/11:
#4) Pedj Bojic Keep
#6) Patrick Zwaanswijk (Fgn) must keep
#9) Nik Mrdja --- Bye Bye
#12) Matthew Lewis (u21).... HHHHHHHHHmmmmmmm worth another one year deal
#14) Michael McGlinchey (Fgn)Keep
#17) Chris Doig (Fgn)-----bye bye
#18) Alex Wilkinson ©... keep
#23) Adam Kwasnik----- bye bye

 

[cbowden9000]

Oh and also, I have a feeling that McGlinchey may be let go. I hope not but I've just got a hunch.

Also, Arnie said he is looking at buying "a couple of good midfielders"...

I'm surprised Patrick is only on a 1-year deal, I can only assume because of his age. I do know he's thinking of buying a house here (I heard him say so at the fan day at beginning of the season), so hopefully we won't have too much trouble getting him to extend. The way he's keeping our last line organised, we would want to keep him here as long as he wants to keep playing.

 

[pjennings]

Patrick is on a one-year deal with an option of another year.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Patrick is on a one-year deal with an option of another year.

Thank heavens for that, I'm sure we'll take up that option.

Lets say that if Mrdja and Kwasnik were to go I'd be very happy, and if Porter and Doig left I wouldn't be sad.

While I don't look at Porter as a starting player, I was happy he was on the bench on Saturday - and that Pedj can adapt to cover either fullback position. I'd keep him as a squaddie.

Yeah I'd agree with that. I did say "not sad" though, as I think he could be easily replaced.

 

[Bex]

I can understand the reasoning with letting Doig go, but who do we have to fill in for Wilko or Dutchie if either one of them is unjured? I think we would have to replace Doig but who?

 

[Redshirt]

The squad's fine for me with the exception of our attack and benchies which could be fine tuned a bit...

Midfielder summed it up pretty well

Bojic/Griffiths to makeshift CB and Porter/Hutch to fill the gap.

 

[Bex]

Bojic/Griffiths to makeshift CB and Porter/Hutch to fill the gap.

Hmmm, wouldn't like to have to live with that for more than 1 match.

 

[pjennings]

I'd keep Doig - as long as he is not on too much coin. He is good cover and I really don't like weakening one position to cover for another.
