Mariners squad HAL 10 ~ 2014/15

[nebakke]

Is the squad size still 25? Because that would mean 1 spot free.

Which has just been taken by Jacob Poscoliero according to the CCM facebook. Whoever that is.

He had a decent match against the Jest - as I recall... To be honest I don't remember noticing much about him outside of a couple of decent blocks, so he can't be all bad

Squad size is 23 - but you can have 3 extra young players that don't count towards squad size or cap. Therefore there is the potential for 1 more if there is cap space or if we sign or have a guest player.

Confident with the ball at his feet is what I can remember; in the first half against the Jets he looked pretty solid. A squaddie for now, it is a big step up, lets hope he takes the opportunity.

Looking very good against the scum in Mudgee. Made one error all game.
With the Central defence looking a bit dodgy he may well be a regular starter by the end of the season.

Looking forward to watching Caceres this year.

Hi fellas, I completely missed the preseason! What new guys are you most excited about? And is there a place where I can view Mariners press conference and the Match of the day equivalent for the A-League as an Europe guy?

Whats the update on Matt Simon. Has he started back at training yet?

Back training and looking pretty good according to Bosnar.

Hopefully not to far away getting back on the paddock. Its always good to see a Central Coast local mixing it up out there.

Rumour alert...

Young central coast born defender Reece Caira terminates his contract with Phoenix, wonder where he's off to?

He is very average.

He is very average.

i thought his assist to mcbreen when he was at WSW was pretty good!

 

[Capt. Awesome]

We just signed Cairncross

[Wombat]

He looked reasonable against Scummers. Certainly not a mug.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Very much wishful thinking, but...
"Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard prepared to ply his trade elsewhere if he is not offered a new contract.

Could do worse than have a look at this guy Cong Phuong from Vietnam.
There is a thread on FourFourTwo which is an interesting read. I think it might be him posting.

Looks good in YouTube clips.
I would love to see him get a trial at least, he looks hungry and has something to prove.

Prediction:
Some other HAL club will get him on minimum wage and he'll be awesome.

There`s enough there to warrant a trial.
I wonder if he speaks English..

I have been thinking about this a bit more.
Say we developed a relationship with an Asian minnow nation like Vietnam and took their best talent to develop and potentially sell overseas (with a sell on fee back to the club as an incentive). We might get top notch players at minimum wage and potentially get a crowd boost from the Aussie Vietnamese community if we start regularly fielding Vietnamese players.
Win for the Vietnamese FA by getting their best players in the shop window and maybe on to bigger leagues overseas.
Win for the Vietnamese clubs by getting an on sell transfer fee percentage.
Win for us by getting access to talent and maybe transfer $$ and a potential crowd increase.

A lot of what ifs and maybes.....
