Daniel Bouman liked this FTBL article on facebook, but I wonder if he liked the article or the picture.

Off Contract Players:

Central Coast Mariners (15)

Mark Birighitti, Daniel Bouman, Jaden Casella, Jack Clisby, Danny De Silva, Daniel Hall, Matthew Hatch, Stefan Jankovic, Michal Janota, Stefan Nigro, Adam Pearce, Kye Rowles, Matthew Simon, Ruon Tongyik, Marco Urena.

Think I'd offer Birraz, Clisby, Hall, Janota, Pearce, Rowles, Simon and Tongyik new contracts

 

[Huddo]

I'd be offering Urena a contract before clisby

 

[Michael]

Clisby can be improved upon and then some.
Not to say he hasn’t been in probably career best form for his standards. Still makes stupid positional errors, yet to be massively punished as he has been many times in the last 2 years. thankfully.

Thank God you are not in charge of retention!!

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

With this many of contract players, where on earth do you even begin as a coach? Nervous times for many players.

I suppose you envision your core first, recruit that, and go from there. Probably be even tougher recruiting from such an open pool than a normal season.

 

[Huddo]

Nissy is key as the playmaker when DDS is gone.

 

[Melange]

Birra
Kye
Ruon
Stens
Oli
Nis
Khoul
Urena

Then build around them

We already have Miller, Bozanic, Stensness, and Nisbet and apparently Kuol so you are adding
Birra, Kye, Ruon, Urena - all good calls

 

[greenlig]

We already have Olli for another year?

 

[Allreet?]

Gotta keep DDS also.

 

[pjennings]

We already have Olli for another year?

It means that the minimum term is more than one year and there are options that can trigger it to be more than two.

 

[Pirate Pete]

We already have Olli for another year?

Yes

 

[Huddo]

Gotta keep DDS also.

Noting his career best form, coinciding with the end of his contract, and the fact he'll be in the shop front if the Olympics go ahead, I'd be very surprised if we could snag him for another year, he'll want to make his push in to Spainish, or Dutch leagues.
All power to him, but he'll be missed when he goes.

Another reason to lock him in, with a suitable release clause. We resurrected his career, let's see a bit of return, including sell-on percentages.

I agree with you, but a return I feel secondary to ensuring the sound future structure of the team, yes we need the finances, just think structure is key at the moment.

 

[Allreet?]

Sod structure! Let's go for excitement.

 

[Michael]

In all honesty DDS would suit the Portuguese top flight perfectly and if he turns this current form into his base level he’d smash it.
i love the idea of locking him in, get another season from him then sell but that is the very least likely scenario. If he gets good offers with guaranteed regular starter status overseas he will take it and all the power to him.

Lock him in now for two years - accept a transfer OS if he gets offered and wants it in the next window after the end of the season.
