Mariners Squad 2023/2024

[Allreet?]

I hope the academy goes on producing...

I trust Monty to find replacements for those he's sold to maintain momentum, but it's always a gamble when you lose so many stars.

In any case, good luck to Sammy (and Nectar). It must be so exciting to be so young and signing for such big clubs. They'll both be at the Asian Cup methinks.

Excluding finals we sat 5th in attendance a few hundred in front of City. They jump above us if you include finals because they 'hosted' the grand final.

 

[Ironbark]

I have no doubt crowds will increase this season

A leagues socials have been posting a few things about Alou’s birthday, more so than you’d expect for most players. Wonder if they’ve got word he’s back in Aus this season - either with us or someone else.

 

[crock]

Hopefully its us and not another club im sure there would be other aleague clubs interested in him

 

[Ironbark]

There would be plenty of interest but barring a massive difference in coin I know Alou's preference is to be back at CCM if in Aus, for multiple reasons - loyalty, coaches, family

Based on this then kuol is likely and it seems club is interested

 

[Corsair]

So if this is true, we are talking over 2 million in player sales alone. Plus the world cup fees plus the sell on clauses....

There is absolutely no way we didn't turn a profit

I guess some of it might be in next seasons bucket if they run things on financial year. Agree though we've done well this season.

Unless he's agreeing to a mutual termination the financial difference is a matter for his parent club not him. But if the offers are comparable you would want to send the player where they would be happiest and most likely to play even if it means slightly less money.

Alou isn’t on millions at stuttgart. If they wanted us to cover his wage I’m sure we could. He’s possibly on similar money to what dingo was.
I agree though, if he’s loaning back to Aus we’re the heeeeeaviest of favourites to get him.

 

[Coastalraider]

Also have to consider not just game time but squad style and exposure. Asia will help firm that perspective (even from our perspective it looks like we will be beating up on minnows), and the fact we have produced 2 attacking socceroos in the last 12 months doesn’t hurt.

Perhaps his there could a contract termination coming and we get him for a few years and sell again?

Depends on the kind of money he’s on. Can’t imagine he would get say 300k+ from many A league teams so if they’ve got him on good coin he should ride it out on loan. Would love to have him back but need to be realistic about his wage and the alternatives in the market.

I’ve been wrong before, but my mail is he’s definitely coming back ??‍♂️

I reckon your development ain't gonna happen playing in the ressies. They don't play at a level even nearing AL.

Time however for him to reset and go again.

 

[Meerkat]

I believe this calls for.. The Monty Effect ??

 

[Michael]

So Middlesbrough are apparently about to sign a 22yo winger from man city. Verrry similar type of player to Sammy. I wonder if that transfer is in doubt now?

Twitter reporting that deal is done and agreed by both clubs - just not confirmed by either club. https://www.transfermarkt.de/kuol-k...pitel-endet-nach-zwei-jahren/view/news/424399

It does seem now likely now that he is coming now we await confirmation
