Mariners Squad 2023/2024

[Corsair]

So looks like we aren't losing anyone else this window. Including our player of the month and best midfielder in the a league!

I hope for Nizzy's sake he gets offered something decent in the off season. And that we replace him adequately

Booo

 

[Wombat]

He is getting a lot of attention now. Part of me wonders if that's natural or if someone is pushing that angle behind the scenes. Would love to retain him but if his stock has risen too far we also need to know when to let him go..

We can let him go in approx 10 years time.

 

[Ironbark]

Would love for him to be a one club man. Would happily pay him the big bucks and include in his role being a mentor/developer of youth products in the midfield, ala Zwaanswijk with Sainsbury

If he stays in Australia, he will finish up at one of the big 4 city clubs,

NSW club wants him

Is it us???

 

[crock]

Why would he want to leave us to join another aleague club yes maybe money but if he wants money would be better off going overseas

Money. It's always the money.
If he runs his contract down he might pocket a signing on bonus too

listening to stefan mauks latest "Football Frens" episode he said Nizzy asked him if he could speak Japanese.

 

[finally retired]

Nizzy was probably having a lend of Mauk ?

Mauk didn't put enough effort into his penalty shot tonight, might as well have stayed on the bench

Lol

He actually played pretty well, with the exception of the pen.

 

[Spacks]

Thats because Mork wasnt on the same page as Ibonsuki…

 

[Ozhammer]

Because he took the ball off Ibusuki he then absolutely had to score that penalty and looked like the absolute flog that he is when he missed.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke if you ask me

Why? If you’re reasoning is that we might someday not be able to afford him, I just think that’s wrong..
He said himself he’ll only go overseas if it’s a very good regular play time offer. We have also proven in recent seasons we will reward our best players with improved contracts in the meantime. He’s our most consistent player and definitely top 5 mids in the country. So unless the club completely shit the bed with his contract, I refuse to believe he will go to another aleague side. Nizzy is a pure coastie the same as Fazz and Steely, in my eyes anyway..

Our improved contracts aren’t the same as a decent contract at the bigger clubs. There’s no way we start paying him 300k plus, they might.

Money talks. We haven't got any. For the younger generation loyalty is a much shorter rope. Besides he's done his time with us, I wouldn't begrudge him a move to a bigger club even if it is in Oz. Yes I'd hate it but he deserves it. The list is long of players we should have retained but for money.

Not sure why you would say we have no money. Have received transfer fees for Cummings, Triantis, McGarry, Tulio, Sammy and others over the past year plus upcoming fees probably for Faz and Torres.
I would hate to see Niz go to Macarthur for no fee then have them onsell him in Jan for a big fee.

We've been told the fees on all those players were much less than people expect and the club is running in the red constantly. Any time we hear from Peil is to tell us about how the club is struggling financially.
