Central Coast Mariners squad - 2010/2011 HAL season

[dibo]

I believe today is the start of an intra-HAL free transfer window (translation: I saw the thread on SFCU and I'm nicking the idea).

I think it's maybe a little fruitless to talk about transfers without a view to what our squad is doing for next season.

There are basic quotas we've got to abide by:

1.  Max 5 foreigners
2.  At least 3 players u21
3.  Max 1 marquee

Here's what our squad basically looks like at the moment (also shamelessly stolen from SFCU, where they've got everyone else's lists too):

[size=18pt]Central Coast Mariners[/size]
*The following 14 players are signed
    - 3 u21
    - 2 Foreign
    - 0 Marquee

[size=12pt]CONTRACT EXPIRES END OF SEASON 2010/11:[/size]
#4) Pedj Bojic
#9) Nik Mrdja
#12) Matthew Lewis (u21)
#14) Michael McGlinchey (Fgn)
#17) Chris Doig (Fgn)
#18) Alex Wilkinson (c)
#23) Adam Kwasnik

[size=12pt]CONTRACT EXPIRES END OF SEASON 2011/12:[/size]
#5) Brad Porter
#19) Matt Simon
#20) Danny Vukovic (gk)
#??) Daniel Mcbreen
#??) Mustafa Amini (u21)

[size=12pt]CONTRACT EXPIRES END OF SEASON 2012/13:[/size]
#1) Matthew Ryan (gk)(u21)
#7)  John Hutchinson

And here are the players across the league who are off-contract at the end of this season (and are therefore likely targets in the window) as listed on SFCU:

Who's coming off contract that you would like to see us put in a bid for?

I'll start off with controversy - I think it'd be great to nab Elrich the younger.

 

[goingtoadisco]

Robert Cornthwaite for sure.

 

[pjennings]

Sergio Van Dijk

 

[typool]

Leigh Broxham and Christopher Payne..
bringing some youth in would be goooood

 

[Sym]

Wayne freakin' srhoj, maybe Nathan Elasi
and neil young for some tunes...

How about d'Apuzzo the elder as well, they might be able to stir up their siblings.

 

[dibo]

D'Appuzzo the elder is pure pish. I wouldn't touch him with a 10ft clown pole.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Seeing we seem to be having problems finding the inside of the net, how about Bertos and Sikora?

We don't have a marquee either, and there's one in Sydney -- I've heard he's not bad, but I can't remember the name.  :

Agreed, and assuming we can hold Wilko & Heff, we don't need him anyway.

1.  Max 5 foreigners
2.  At least 3 players u21
3.  Max 1 marquee

+ a youth marquee? I'm pretty sure that's still available... I think it has to be a local player under the age of 24.

 

[Sean]

Milson.

 

[Ithuriel]

The other question is, who do you believe will be released? IMO, unless they improve somewhat, we'd probably be looking at getting rid of:
Mrdja - On account of his unreliability due to injuries and apparent bad attitude
Clarky - He's only there as a cheap squad filler this season anyway. Expected to concentrate fully on his role as the strength and conditioning coach.
D'Apuzzo - Not classed as an U21 player next year and is he really up to A-league standards?

Also, if Elrich doesn't regain his confidence playing out on the wing, we may have to look elsewhere for someone who can get the job done.

fixed for you.

 

[dibo]

Milson.

apparently no longer available. something in commentary on the weekend about being signed up for a 2yr extension?

Who needs polite-ness when you have blatant, blunt honesty?

Fair point

 

[marinermick]

the five priorities for us are:
- boogaard
- simon
- heffernan
- hutch
- travis

you'd probably think that elrich, d'apuzzo and mrdja will not be signed

d-mac and porter will be resigned, as will huke and lewis (still under 21)

clarky i suppose is the only one in that list we are not sure but his body could take him around anothr season for sure

crowell's contract depends on this season

Agree with all that but suspect Clarky might not go around again. So out would be
Clark
D'Apuzzo
Elrich
Mrdja

I would bring in 6 including some young ones a returning Socceroo and a lower English league striker on loan.

Panni Nikas (from youth squad)
Chris Payne
Robert Cornthwaite
Tarek Elrich

Scott Chipperfield (at left wing and cover for Heff)
Billy  Sharp (currently on loan at Doncaster from the Blades). I would like to see this guy. A friend of mine raved about him when he was at Sc**thorpe but didn't seem to make it at the Blades. Maybe we can loan him from Sheffield? 




 

 

[Jesus]

Payne is from umina but said when he signed with bling he is a big bling fan despite being from the coast. Anyone who says that i dont want.

Will be hard to keep simon i am guessing.

Agree with micks list

Clarkey will probably depend if they find someone better, which they have not in a few seasons now.

Not alot i would go for overly

Moore yes but no chance

Sergio yes but unlikely i would think

Jon McKain definately
