A New Marquee

[FFC Mariner]

Elrich believes himself to be a genius and world beater.

Voted worst Fulham player all time (and there is some pretty tough comp for that).

Kwassie on one leg and stoned will add more to the side.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[ccmariners21]

Elrich simpily is NOT a MARQUEE player, and do we need him? With Hutch, Jedinak, Owens, Kwassie, Porter, Ossie, Caceres. Surely enough midfielders.

 

[Rawmarinator]

Agreed. Stupid buy, especally with his serious attitude problem.

most players in this league hav attitude problems

 

[graaant]

I've yet to see anything saying we HAVE bought him!?
The only thing I've seen is an article on SMH linking him to us?

I think everyone might be getting a bit ahead of themselves here?

In the terrorgraph today Lawrie said . . .  People can think what they want but we'll bring in a couple of players who we think can do a job. We're definitely not a two-man team." (referring to the loss of Aloi$i and Tommy)

McKinna said the structure of the existing squad would be finalised next week.

"We've got three or four names and we're looking at filling a couple of spots for now and leave the others until later in the year," he said.

"Viddy (Tony Vidmar) is looking at TV options and media stuff first, but might still have a role in the academy."

So maybe all this conjecture will be revealed (some of it anyway) in the not too distant future and then we can play the crystal ball game again as Lawrie finalises the remaining spots for the squad later in the year.

I would say mariners are into major talks with elrich and others

 

[marinermick]

elrich won't come in as marquee

 

[jaypee]

elrich won't come in as marquee

Agree - Elrich may come to Mariners but it will not be as Marquee...

 

[Ursus]

To tell the truth I really do not know what he would come as. :

If Cockerill mentions it, it usually turns out happening.

 

[tyson]

who was it who suggested we were going to sign juninho?

Bring back Michael Beauchamp IMO best Mariner ever

Well...we do need to find someone to work in the backline replacing Vidmar. As good as Beauchamp is, and a great bloke to boot, I think even he will admit to not being 'marquee' material - personality wise. He's a rather quiet reserved sort of guy. And he wouldn't be known to the general public as one of the Socceroos etc. He'd want to  stay in Nurnberg too I think.

Not so sure about that. There might be the possibility that he leaves after that season although he is contracted til 2009. It all depends in which league we play next season and what players the new trainer (we now have) likes and wants to have. Meggsy wasn't in the squad the last match.
So I see the possibility that he might leave.

I think he is good enough to stick it out overseas if he does leave. Would another Bundesliga club be interested do you think?

Yes, he is definetely good enough to sray overseas. In my opinion it all depends on in which league we play next year.
I we stay in the Bundesliga I think he has to leave although I personally don't want him to.
If we relegate to the 2nd Bundesliga I think he will stay with us.

I don't know if another Bundesliga club will be interested in him but maybe a 2nd league club.

If Elrich wakes up to himself and gets fit, then I think he'd still have a bit to offer.

_IF_ those things happen though. 

 

[Andy]

who was it who suggested we were going to sign juninho?

Good point.

Although Cockerill wasn't the only journalist to mention it though.

 

[jaypee]

but has Juniniho signed with anyone yet?????

 

[Andy]

No

 

[tyson]

yeh, that was kind of my point... just because Cockerill said, he MAY not sign, but that doesn't mean Juninho might still sign.

...as others said, apparently Lawrie said we weren't signing Heff and Aloisi and we did. They might still be in negotiations, or the club may not feel the time is right to announce the signing. We will find out soon enough though...

 

[FFC Mariner]

To tell the truth I really do not know what he would come as. :

An object of scorn and derision??? Someone who will be almost as good as Maradonna (todays fat version of course)?? Water boy??

Surely fail the no DH policy??
