So in Staj’s interview he says we have two international transfers? Kuol and who? Am I missing something or has Staj let one slip early?

Totally forgot about him.

Rowles is a beast and must be re-signed for the next 3 yrs.

With Roun but the club won’t commit to players for that long with the money problems which is a massive problem because we have invested so much into Kye and to see him leave over the next couple of years would be painful

 

[Ironbark]

With the media deal in place discussions around the sale of the club can resume. Hopefully means an injection of funds and locking down some key players

Kye is almost certain to go to the Olympics and probably gets minutes on that global stage. It would be short sighted not to have him contracted for at least 2 more years to command a fee if clubs start sniffing around.

I still think the Olympics could get canned - keeps Kye hidden for a bit longer

It probably should get canned.

Speaking to a work colleague yesterday who has responsibilities and reports in Japan. She has had to do the job remotely the past six months since her promotion.

She said ninety percent of Japanese don’t want the games to go ahead but don’t want to move to cancel it because of honour. They’re hoping the IOC will make the decision for them but they won’t because of dollars.

The Covid situation is really bad there at the moment, hospitals are full and people are dying because they don’t have access to beds and healthcare., especially if they are a public patient.

Anyway, from my understanding there will be three Mariners players picked for the squad. Rowles and De Silva will be certainties therefore the third will have to be either Bouman, Nisbet or Kuol.

My pick is Nizzy.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Bouman has been in the squad before though but Nis is very much and Arnie type player

Agreed. Even away from teams like Victory.
I remember on the pod the guy in charge was happy with one year deals as it kept everyone hungry.
That’s some stupid stuff when you have young talent like ours that are now proven.

I also think money plays a huge part and MC doesn’t want a wage commitment past each season

I think selection will hinge on depth and versatility- taking a player like Aiden ONeil gives you options in the middle or back line. DAgostino can play in an attacking mid or striker role.

Nisbet can play centrally or wide but is only a mid option. Bouman more of a forward but can play wide if we need him to.

IMO with the amount of breakout seasons we’ve seen being an incumbent player doesn’t hold the weight it did 18 months ago

On the same pod Ken said they were going to start upgrading from the following Monday after the ???? game, which had always been the plan. Let's hope that happened.

I get the impression Ken is a pretty focused and straight-talking guy, so just the sort of person we need as TD.

I also believe he is a big part of why the club is on an upward trajectory once again, so we need him to keep doing what he is doing.

Nisbet maybe half the size but he’s twice the player Bouman is. Surely Arnie has noticed.

Very much got this sense too. Clearly very lucky to have him.
