Mariners Squad 2023/2024

[booney]

So the oil loving desert dwellers and their Melbourne minions are getting their revenge for the GF result by stealing our best player.

 

[crock]

Unless club come out and announce it its only a rumour at this point

 

[Spacks]

Let's hope the hibs rumour is right

if it's not, I got a bag of salt and old mate's address ready to go!

 

[Ironbark]

I'm holding out hope it's not true.

Balard - happy for him to make the most of that pathway. He's ready and deserves it and supports our goals.

Niz - on a free to city would be a straight up anger making disaster. Even a free to an overseas league I could accept, but not this. I want the best for Nizzy and he has given us his all, but to city.....fu*k no.

 

[ryan]

Niz to city would be such a crap, backward move for him. I am quite upset that this is even an option he would be considering. Don't do it Josh. You are currently at the best club in the country.

 

[shipwreck]

You just know what's happening here. Free to city, sold to a CFG club, loan back. Classic

 

[FFC Mariner]

Won't it be funny if he ends up at some obscure Italian club
?

 

[crock]

Starting to think the nizzy to city is definitely rubbish

Hope so.

It was by FTBL, aren’t they usually bs anyway.

 

[Huddo]

If he does go to City, I'm laying it squarely at the feet of GA, without the international exposure, scouts would see him (unwarranted) as a risk.

He should have been heavily involved for years in the Australian development set up, it's a bit of a Rogic situation.

and some random Dave Lewis guy, someone I've never heard of before.

 

[priorpeter]

Yes Maxi has signed OS.
Niz’ agency has Andres Clavijo as their head of football so i initially straight out dismissed the City rumour, and while I’m not panicking just yet I am mildly concerned Dave Lewis has doubled down on his initial article.

 

[crock]

Yeah it's worry surely club can at least offer him something to to temp him to stay but as someone else has put up there seems to be interest by an Italian club so would prefer that over city if that's the case

Transfer fee?

On the subject of Andres Clavijo being Nizzy's agent, how is that possible when he's also The Mariners Head Analyst?

 

[crock]

Surely someone like a matt simon would advise nizzy against a move to city i mean give him advise on why it's a bad career move

Maybe he is looking to become a cold hearted killer ??‍♂️

I heard a minor fee.
Rich recently said that the deal with them is to give pathways back and forth (i.e. Barcellos) and that the deal is we give them players free or cheap but get a big percentage of their on-sell. He said they can sell the same player for 10x what we can based on the relative leagues reputation so if they sell Maxi we'd get a bigger fee return than if we sold him ourselves.
