Wouldn't mind seeing Nordstrand in the Yellow and Navy.

Carrusca for sure. Cirio, McGowan, Devere, Moss. Id rather have a keeper from outside the comp as well as a cb.

Any of Alex Cisak, Tom Glover or Danijel Nizic would be good realistic goalkeeping targets for us in my personal opinion.

What about Alex Grant and Shane Lowry from Perth. Both big strong Old school centre backs.
Perth Glory's A-League revival built on central defenders Shane Lowry and Alex Grant.
Defenders who defend? Now that is a revolution.
Observe the Perth Glory renaissance, and something becomes abundantly clear. At the heart of a committed, determined back four are two centre-halves, Shane Lowry and Alex Grant, who keep it simple. They win tackles, they win headers, they play the obvious pass. Short back and sides? You bet.

Kenny played them over Rhys Williams but Perth were very leaky this year

My impression of Okon is he is not interested in 'Old School CBs'. He wants modern ball playing centre backs. Hence why he used Liam Rose in the back line in the later part of the year.

Lowry is 6ft 1". I dont think he played for Glory this season but played 12 times last year. He is Irish u23 international and was picked in Socceroo squad but has never played for Australia.
Grant is 6ft and has only played a couple of games this season but played 16 times last year. He was in Stoke's EPL squad but was loaned out.
Both imposing hard CB's...........exactly what we lack.

Rumour town:
* Ferriera to PKNS FC http://www.goal.com/en-my/news/3889...s-pkns-targets-ferreira-pknp-aims-for-schrock
* "MARINERS boss Paul Okon has left for Europe to do some scouting of players in Belgium, Holland and Spain — but not every game is entirely vocational. Okon was due to be at the Manchester derby on Thursday night UK time, and we presume Okon won’t be making a pitch to David Silva or even Wayne Rooney.
IN Okon’s absence, speculation continues about the comings and goings in the Mariners squad. We hear Joel Chianese is keen on switching to the Central coast next season, but Mariners defender Jacob Poscoliero could be heading in the other direction — the word among his teammates is that the centre-half is off to Perth."

. sorry i just can't see the sense in us having a marquee ... i think they are possibly more disruptive to our squad than any other
. it is kinda superfluous ... what is needed is spending a decent amount on a decent squad - our 'average' players need to be comparable to other teams in worth and above average in value
. i know it is a different sponsorship model with a marquee but how many people do you think a marquee will draw into the membership pool? if you are drawing from the coast fan-base i would guess very few. even most marquees would be unknown to the average coast fan i reckon - for example i may have heard of del Piero and Garcia before their arrival, but i knew nothing about their careers ... and therefore they would not have influenced my decision to buy a membership

. only if you spend the money ... apparently we barely even made the floor when we hard Garcia so there was no added value in that sense as you imply (but i know exactly what you mean yet personally i think that part of the system is wrong)
. can we just get the basics in place first

I don't know what type of marquee your thinking about but I'm thinking berisha broich castro fornaroli. f**k marquees for memberships that will never work. Win games and get a crowd favorite who is f**king good. That will help memberships. But that request has nothing to do with memberships and everything to do with wanting a good mariners team again. Couldn't give a f**k if next season is played out in front of 7000 a game. Can give a f**k about another shit f**king season.
Smart use of import spots will be a great step towards going further next season. And like i said a berisha in the front line or a Castro in the midfield will accelerate our March up the table. Don't care if its out of reach or not smart business. That's what i want.
