Mariners Squad 2023/2024

[Insertnamehere]

I’m honestly fine with us being a selling club. The timing sometimes can be annoying ofcourse. But it is what it is, just as long as the fee’s we receive are adequate for the players value and there needs to be an understanding from the club powers that if a youth player isn’t ready an older player has to be brought in so that we stay competitive. Which is the case right now, thankfully.

Problem is I don't think we've received fair value by and large. Sell on and appearance clauses are risky.

Did we ever get a cent extra from Rogic?

We would've cashed in massively if he'd gone to Arsenal, but when he re-signed for Celtic was there a bonus for us or just diddly?

My recollection is that it was a rumored sell on. So we got 0 extra.

does anyone know why Matt Hatch isn't playing in an A-League team? He's in the NPL, which is very strange to me as he looked quite good when he played for us.

 

[pjennings]

Matt may not be first XI material but he would have been the perfect sub when we went to a back five like the other night. His transition speed would open up a great outlet for counter attacks.

How's he going in the NPL?

I was reliably informed it was a 20% sell on, however the clause expired when he renewed with Celtic. Had he have made that move to arsenal during his initial contract period, we’d have been in for a tidy pay day.

The club have become a lot smarter with the structure of these deals, so hopefully over the next few years we’ll see some further benefit there.

It'd be interesting to ask Tommy about that situation. He must've been convinced he'd never get to play at Arsenal whereas he was a star at Celtic and must've really liked the city.

If Wenger wanted him (and I'm told by someone who knows that he did) then it would have been fascinating to see how he went in that side and in the EPL.

CCM would have made a fortune also.

I thought he signed with Marconi at the end of their last season, start of the Aleague. I see him floating around the southern part of the coast sometimes.

I am literally stunned a player with his impact and versatility hasn't been picked up even by a struggling team.

Monty and Zadshite both cut him.
I'll trust their judgement

Was effective under Staj, but that's about it

Think you might have your timelines mixed up. He played far more under Mont than he did under Staj, and was definitely more effective.

He signed a short term deal there during the NPL mid-season transfer window. Sydney United have had a few move on so would think he’ll get some decent opportunities there.

Even coaches - Ross Aloisi hasn’t even coached 6 months here and just grabbed the first thing that flew by.

China is throwing around stupid money. Yes it sucks but objectively almost everyone takes what’s likely a 2 or 3 x wage bump - maybe more with favourable tax rates - and runs with it. He will get another gig here when he chooses to return. Now if he abandons ship again it might become an issue but few will hold this one against him beyond some roar fans.

I suspect he was viewed as close to his ceiling and although yes it’s better than some those younger players are regarded as having more development and sale potential. This new youth focus is great but if a player doesn’t make a level to be considered A league starter or sell on potential it won’t be too forgiving

Unfortunately Tommy’s career was one of those “what could’ve beens”
One of the most naturally gifted footballers our country ever produced imo. We were privileged to watch him play for us.

Does anyone know if Garang is here for Christmas? Saw Alou and two others at the Haven today, think one was Garang.

 

[Stuartmcateer]

My kid said he saw him at Erina today.

 

[AJames]

Gonna be down numbers at LB for Sunday - Steele in a moon boot, Faz suspended and I believe Noah still injured.

Does Doka start RB and shift Storm left?
