Mariners Squad - 2019-2020

Joey Lynch reports Mark Birighitti is to leave Melbourne City and move elsewhere in the A-league

There can't be many teams looking for a starting keeper unless someone is getting sold. Thomas or Redmayne would have to be the favourites for that and I'd expect Victory to promote Acton. Perth maybe if they are gearing up for ACL but they've got Reddy who was probably cheap and would be squeezing everything they can out of the cap as is plus he was fine last year anyway. And of course us which would make the most sense.

Mark Birighitti. That is all

I did post before about at the end of last season. MC gave their 3rd choice keeper a game.
4th choice was on the bench. No sign of Birighitti at all.

JVS was also his coach before so there is an existing relationship. Sydney may have been a chance before JC left.

Every team except us has an obvious #1 keeper already. Even Phoenix were quick to replace Kurto
So I’d say we’re the favourites for Birighitti which is great news.

Perth have signed a Seoul bro of their own today, interestingly, we need to get this paper work needs to get done.

I thought the same thing but the dates I could find suggested JVS was off to Victory by the time Birighitti was coming in. But I'm just looking at some google results and transfermarkt so not sure if they did cross paths at all.

I am of the understanding that one half of our Korean duo is on the cusp of getting the transfer paperwork finalised imminently, which is good news if true.

Smart move and bodes well for their ACL campaign. Looks like the Davidson replacement.

Be very happy with Birighitti. And even happier with a new visa striker to boot.

We’d then be missing an experienced CB still, but at least we have a genuine leader in our backline in Ziggy. In his extensive reel he does a good job covering his CB’s ass’s also. And like TB I believe in Rowles and hoping Tongyik proves himself too - at 22, he’s got plenty of promise, but both are still very young and bound to make some costly mistakes across a season.

Reporting on the dailfootballshow.com that they
"understand that the Central Coast Mariners loom as the next possible destination" for Birighitti.
Seems like it`s on...
Hopefully that`ll add at least another 5 wins to our tally ...

Fantastic news, these 2 boys could turn out crucial for us.

Even so the "keepers club" is a very tighknit little fraternity.
I`m sure they would know each other very well...

I hope we get them for at least 2 seasons with an option on a third.
I`d be pissed if we didn`t...
(probably not the right terminology in their case but you know what I mean)...

I would almost be surprised if we did. They’ve been forced out of the K league for a year due to their indiscretions so after that time passes surely their value goes up.

Birighitti would be perfect for us.

 

[Michael]

Birighitti has literally just been released. It’s all happening so fast.
I wonder if Staj wants him for tomorrow night

 

[Insertnamehere]

A boy can dream but imagine getting Birighitti and Keogh.

 

[NoDiggity]

Melbourne city have now officially released MB.

he wasn’t at training today, Pearce in goals & Munford backup. One Seoul brother was training (DM with big legs). Jordan Murray, melling & ziggy all training too.

It also says they've used their visa spots and will be looking for an Aussie keeper.
Glover? Or maybe someone could let them know Kennedy is available.

JVS asked Birighitti if he would come to CCM if he got the GK coaches job months ago and he said yes. Then there was a lengthy delay in signing JVS and Birighitti committed again to City. Looks like he might finally get his man.

 

[Josho Howe]

Getting Birraz would be an outstanding outcome. He is a guaranteed no.1 and won't spend a whole season getting splinters in his arse. Continues work with his goalkeeper coach also. I think this could be the real deal.

Also, one thing annoying the grammar nazi in me on here is the misspelling of Aidan Munford. It's an N, not an M. Munford - not ''Mumford''.
