Mariners Squad 2024/2025 ALM and ACL Elite

[Sam_Kelso]

No Mariners players in the u20 asian cup side. Any selections would have meant we lose them from 3rd of Feb to potentially the end of Feb

Faisal was in the last u20 squad and then Di Pizio the one prior to that (that’s when he got injured i assume)

We don't have anyone who would get in that side 🤷🏻‍♂️

Eames?.

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Eames?.

Maybe with a few more starts under his belt. But at 16 I don't think he is ready for the under 20's yet.

Walk up start for the 17's.

DPC, Faisal could have been close

I have to say - as a mariners and Tottenham fan this has been a seriously underwhelming window.

Still a while to go in the A-League window - doesn’t slam shut until 12 Feb.
And in fairness, it’s not for want of trying (well, from CCM’s side anyway… not so sure about Spurs!)

 

[FFC Mariner]

Same as Spurs. Won't pay the money required

I will accept if this does not age well, but I am going to read that as 'we still have a chance/time'!

 

[Coastalraider]

I’m very concerned about how Perth and the jets are recruiting.

Not for lack of trying but nobody wants to sign for us on a free? 🤷‍♀️

Probably more that the players we wanted got more lucrative offers. Unless something has changed behind the scenes we're looking for locals that can fill attacking roles and those are in short supply even on contract.

The players we have gone after aren't going to play in a GF winning side. We are being outbid on journeymen (Wales, Burgess).
Neither of whom get further than the bench in the last 2 seasons.
While we have no money this will continue

 

[Ironbark]

and to go to basket case scenario like Perth is not likely to a better career move...so the difference in money must be substantial enough

For Wales that might be an emotional decision as well. I think we punted him at one stage didn't we? Or at least didn't offer him.

Yeah we treated him badly.

 

[Ironbark]

Yeah I thought that could be a factor too

 

[Tim]

I thought Wales was offered one year but wanted and we were in that period where it was one year deals for most players? Two years gives a bit more security (to the extent there is any security’ in pro football)…

 

[Michael]

Lachie wanted a 2 year deal at the time, we only offered 1. City gave him 2 years, and as far as I’m aware it was on the same or just slightly above the salary we offered at the time. He just wanted some security. Dumb move by the decision makers back then.
