Mariners Squad 2023/2024

[Hello Sailor]

Ah the annual Mariners squad sale has begun. I'll prepare the departure lounge ??

Here's what I expect:
Nisbet
Hall (rumour to Auckland)
Farrell
Kaltak
Wenzel-Halls

Plus there will probably be offers for our visa boys particularly if we end up winning the cup.

Torres
Doka

Would love one off season where we don't have to completely rebuild the squad but that's the curse of success. Enjoy this season while we have this special group of players.

I wouldn't be surprised if the quiet achiever Max gets an offer too.

All in in AFC now. We will make more money winning that than selling players.

Reality is if we can’t sell a player within a few years then we can’t afford to keep them. Either as they now wanted by other A League clubs who can pay more or we need the next sellable player to play.

If Niz manager can’t get him an overseas move after this year he needs a new manager. However he is now the best Australian in the League (more like best player) so we can’t afford him. City can afford a massive pay rise and the overseas club connections to cover for his manager.

Wouldn't surprise me if FA and APL took a cut of the prize purse.

Coveted Mariners rock opts for Auckland in blow to champions

Sought-after Central Coast defender Dan Hall has rejected offers from four A-League clubs to ink a two-year deal with competition newcomers Auckland.

At least he turned down scum

At least he turned down scum

Of all the Clubs courting him I'm less annoyed by the new franchise, they will be paying him good money which he deserves. I've no doubt Paull is very much in our plans for next season at CB.

Good to see he has aspirations to go to Japan or something similar.

 

[Corsair]

My worry is if they get Kaltak as well, you'd imagine that's what they're trying for.

 

[FFC Mariner]

I hope that they have more influence than Niz's agent.

Ah sweet summer child. It's only about money. Nothing else will be a factor.
If the OS deal isn't done then he will go to the highest bidder.

With his Euro passport. He'd be the most in demand I would think.

Prepare to not be surprised

We reportedly have him contracted for another year, though. Auckland can’t tap him up yet and I can’t see us willingly letting him walk unless he was desperate to leave (which you’d hope is not the case).

Can be sold though.

 

[pjennings]

Can be sold though.

but not to Auckland - maybe to another of his club's and loaned to Auckland.

 

[Paolo]

If Niz has to go elsewhere to get the bag he deserves, I won't begrudge him...he has earned it.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at-I am guessing that a player agent [like a real estate agent] doesn't care where the property is sold so long as they get a fee.

Bugger. I hope that we are still on good terms with sergio

Depends on the agent. Some genuinely care about the player being in the best place for their development. Few, but they do exist.

 

[midfielder]

What irks me a lot is the lack of transfer fees in Australia richer teams can cheery-pick off smaller teams who they want... for no reward to the smaller team....

 

[priorpeter]

The agency Niz has signed up with has Andres Clavijo as their Head of Football/Head of Scouting. Dampens the CFG rumour a bit for me.

I hope Andres has decent scouting network cos he's gonna be busy in the off season.

Losing players overseas hurts but it comes with a sense of pride, if we see a few of the boys next season in opposing jerseys that’ll be hard to swallow.

I could even cop movement to new teams.

But going to SFC, MC or WSW ain't sat.
