Mariners Squad 2023/2024

[Insertnamehere]

If they are contracted they can’t just go without the required $$$. Not sure Monty will strip us bare to be honest.

I mean that is the implication.

Either do I. I'm just suggesting my 3 strongest candidates. No idea the state of the hibs squad either.

 

[Tevor]

Maybe some loan swaps?

Why would we??? Monty will have so many players to pick from in Europe he will not need to steal ours. I’m sure the club is still focused on being a successful club so there is no doubt we will not make it easy for players to leave for nothing. Why it’s so important we get the right replacement and players want to stay.

 

[Insertnamehere]

I think he'll be looking for Balard as well, who I'm expecting to have a huge season.

Think Max needs more seasoning yet. I didn't think he was as good as others did.

 

[Meerkat]

The scouting network that Monty often referred to and spoke highly of.. have we still got that? I know Sergio had good influence there…?

I suppose what I’m asking, are the cogs still working and people still actively looking or have we ground to a halt.

Not exactly enticing many I wouldn’t think, with no coach.

 

[Spacks]

I hope Monty sets us up with some loans.

I guess that’s also my question too.. will he be looking in our direction at all or will it be a “central coast mariners who??” I think very highly of Monty but something tells me it will be the latter..

Nah. Monty is a quality person as well as a quality Manager. We are lucky he was connected to our club. I believe he will always support us. He will shine in Scotland and will soon be in England....hopefully throwing us a few bones.

 

[shipwreck]

Isn't the type of guy to take a backward step either, I. E if results or circumstance don't go his way in Scotland he won't be back coaching Sydney FC....

"don't go into the midfield, they are bulling us"

I doubt he will raid us too much, maybe one or two players he can get for a relatively good price but his focus needs to be on getting results not bringing others along for the ride.

As for the scouting side we might get the odd lead from them especially in the next 18m but beyond that will likely settle down as his focus will be elsewhere.

I think we will be in the back of his mind, but he has far greater resources at Hibs to draw on than we have here. BTW is there still a Sheffield Utd relationship with us?

I dont much trust in fotmob ratings, but it suits my narrative here. It was his worst rated game since November 2022 at Macarthur.

Don’t disagree at all that he is a great person. He is though a person who focuses 100% on the job ahead which may not have room for looking back at us.

I'm sure he will see plenty of videos etc from players/agents for HIBs spots. If they don't fit his needs but seem a good fit for us I can see him passing on the details. We certainly won't be front of mind.

 

[Ironbark]

If Monty ends up recruiting from us it'll be to support that player because he believes in them. He won't give them an opportunity at the expense of Hibs though.

He might be the only way Nizzy gets a gig overseas for example - and Niz really does deserve it. But only if he's going to add to the team, not at the expense of it.

I don't think he'll take much from us though. Hoping he and Serg will still send player contacts our way though when the fit is right.

fotmob is a great resource especially for judging the contribution of attacking players with XG, XA, big chances, dribbles etc but there aren't many specific metrics to judge a pivot /6, most of their work is marking/ tracking players, keeping/ receiving the ball under pressure... all of which Maxi is among the best in the league at

 

[true believer]

Would probably be a very good fit for him tbh

no . slow grounds and cheap shots .
one of nizzy's strengths is his speed over 5 metres
scotland is a grave yard for quality

Maybe check his season then...

i'm curious which a-league pivots you prefer/ rate higher than him?

Transfer window is closed, this is what we did.

We've replaced senior players with scholarships. I think it's going to be a tough season. We will really need Kuol, Torres and Tulio firing on all cylinders. Without Monty organizing and inspiring I get the feeling we're in for a rough ride. I think communication up front might be an issue, I hope someone blossoms into a leader and organizer.

Who do we think will be captain? Vuka? I'd have loved to have a senior outfield player in that role this season.
