Mariners Squad 2023/2024

[marinermick]

Far out, I’m actually excited.

2-3 visa spots, more money than ever, and the best recruitment team this club has ever had has just returned from Europe, with one hell of a product to sell.

in one year just released players to the prem league, championship, Middle East… and supplied 3 World Cup players.

That’s one hell of an offer for some mid tier euro/South American youngsters looking for an opportunity ala Tulio.

I believe it could be up to four visa spots freed up. Rumours of a Brazilian left back coming.

Money being freed up won’t be as much as we think as we threw the kitchen sink at Tulio to stay.

Not a Monty player and our coach doesn’t do defensive midfielders.

I think he's been playing CB. Moot anyway

Hasn't his kid gone overseas?

Future captain you're talking about there lol

Apart from the fact that he is a right back and is currently in jail, you could be on the money there

Kaltak as well now?

Doesn't invalidate the first point but I think he has played exclusively as a CB in Norway

I think getting tulio to stay is very important. Was the timing of the decision similar to the end of Monty's European trip?

Beau Geste anyone?

 

[Rising Sun]

Hasn't his kid gone overseas?

My reckoning is that there is two things he is interested in and I think Mick was referring to the other.

In any case his kid is a tidy enough midfielder but unless Serge is calling in favours (I believe he is in Portugal) then he will be back playing for the 20s before the end of month

 

[marinermick]

Kaltak as well now?

Sorry, my maths was wrong. Kaltak is still here at this stage. Heard rumours of the Saudis calling but those rumours fizzled out.

If you are a football agent you must be loving Dicky and the Mariners at the moment. Buddy Farah can probably get that sports car now.

This actually pleases me though. Very contrary to the way the club would have responded in the past.

I mean, we probably didn’t have even a sink til now, but still.

I hope not, I'd have sold him if that's the case, surely someone was chasing his signature.

I don't mind a rebuild period following that successful season.

 

[Wombat]

Massive loss up front that will be impossible to replace in one season. JC, Beni and Sammy. 3 of our best.

Looking forward with interest to the rebuild. Not expecting any miracles until possibly towards the end of the season.

If nothing else it will be fascinating to watch as long as your expectations are not high.

I particularly look forward to defending new players when others here write them off early and I can say "told you so" later.

Hang on tight it is going to be a rough ride.

Dingo has been adequately replaced imho by Kuol.
Sammy can be replaced by Theo.
Beni does need replacing and although he was unusual he was very effective. His replacement with be important business by Monty.
We also need to replace Nector with a quality starting CB.

I'm feeling quietly confident Ulysis.

He was being chased by a Japanese side for a lot more than what we offered to keep him here. Can’t understate the importance of his retention.

 

[Ironbark]

Another good season for Tulio and the fee we could ask would be well worth the investment now...provided we've signed him for more than just the one year of course

Does that mean he`s going to Newcastle then?...

Everyone thought the sky was falling in when Urena left

A very amusing time for me, personally.

Good, imagine if the league powers helped us with marquee status for jase too.
