I doubt the fans would welcome James Holland, there's history there.
Griff is a class act and I doubt we could compete with the rich clubs. I'll be very surprised if someone hasn't grabbed him already. Love to have him back though.

They can't really offer him more money than us because I highly doubt anyone would offer him their Australian marquee spot with Brett Holman/Tim Cahill being rumoured to be looking at the A-League. I'd say it'd be unlikely but not entirely impossible.

Thought I might start a new thread for this because there doesn't seem to be a space for it at the moment, anyways.

There already is a thread for this, "A-League Transfers & Rumors".

IT'S pinned at the very top of the "Australian Football" page.

Talk of possible signings for us this season would be in the "HAL Mariners 2015-2016" thread also pinned at the top of the Mariners page.

As mentioned above there is some history ... he said he would sign for us, we let a player go, he trained with us, then he went and signed for the Jerks and left a lot of people upset ... he used signing with us to get a better deal at the Jerks .... played us for suckers...

By Tony Walmsley.

This week I have travelled to the UK to link up with Everton to further establish our relationship as well as catching up with a range of coaches, football directors and agencies across Europe.
Before heading abroad, I thought it would be a great opportunity to give our fans and members an insight to the type of players we are looking to bring in and what we expect of those who are already IN for the Hyundai A-League 2015/16 Season. Are you in?

The off-season challenge for the Central Coast Mariners is to recruit within budget constraints, within the salary cap and achieve a new mantra of entertainment. The key is to recruit potential and reward performance.

As a group we have established some key values around more training/better training and better people/better players. This puts all recruits under scrutiny with multiple character assessments, performance analysis, medical history and physical capability key factors.

What does the new recruitment charter look like?

Our squad audit consists of understanding how our players add value, both on the pitch right now, but also in terms of future potential and increased market value.

The balance of the squad and available funds means absolute care will be taken to ensure a good balance of youth and experience, but to also assess how talent and hunger can outweigh experience, regardless of age.

When ‘goals for’ and ‘goals against’ columns from last season are taken into account, the needs for the Mariners becomes obvious, but we need to think differently and build a squad that meets the demands of the new identity of the club, one that will entertain.

The base is there for success and under a new tactical approach with increased physical demands and a focus on higher capacity for repeated sprints will see the players adapt quickly.

We have a strong midfield with a number of players who can change direction and change pace. The primary focus is to attract variety in the front third, which we have started with the recruitment of both Roy O’Donovan and Mitch Austin this week.

Balance and pace on the left will provide service in tandem with Fabio Ferreira and hard working strikers who can compliment each other; one with aerial ability and one who can play off shoulders and benefit from high quality service.

We are looking at adding a central defender to bolster that area and possibly a young goalkeeper, which will take us to our limit.

We are excited by the progress being made so far and look forward to implementing an exciting program for the fans when season 11 kicks off on October 10th.

So thats only 19 players and he will add 2 more brings the squad to 21. Thats a small squad isn't it???

Still leaves us a striker short in my opinion. Maybe leaving the door open for that marque. Haha

Taking shape....still need 2 more forwards and 2 CB's at a minimum. Looking through that list we have 4 overseas players? Is it capped at 5? Not sure how that will affect who we get from Everton ( assuming we do).
