Mariners Squad 2022/2023

Wow can’t believe i am disappointed to loose Birraz. I remembered the Newcastle guy who couldn’t stop a 40m bomb that went through his stomach but he has improved alot since then and was an outstanding keeper. Happy to eat my thoughts on him.

Happy wife happy life but he did like it here and with the club wanting a long extension that is great to see the club wanting quality tied up and he was keen too.

The club fighting for a quality player is also a good sign.
Good luck Mark

We do this to keepers. They leave better than they came in.

@Shaun Mielekamp is it possible or do we already add payments to the club from transfers to extensions.

I know it’s common to have a sell on clause but what about the opposite if that player stays and becomes successful at the club. Say like a Rogic. We were always hoping for a sell on in their first contracts but could we also ask for compensation if they sign new contracts at the same clubs?

Ww don’t get the best transfer fees and that might be a way of trying to maximise our return if a player is successful at the buying club

Sometimes clubs will add clauses around appearances. So x appearances/starts gets $xx.

Rowles & Birra fees plus those gone on decent money, should have us in a reasonably good position to get some talent in...

We should be doing this then. Especially with Kye and Birraz and thanks for letting me know

I agree. I dont know how common place it is and clubs like Dundee U might be averse because they have that liability on their books.

 

[Allreet?]

Good luck to Birraz. He's been a huuuuge part of our success in the last two seasons. And if he hadn't been so brilliant three seasons back we might have come even laster...

 

[turbo]

It will be interesting to see if the club goes looking for a real replacement

I don’t think we need to go looking for a like for like replacement. Prefer we tighten up the areas in front of Sozer and ask less of our keepers.

Can’t say we haven’t given them enough practice in the dark years

Sorry to see Birraz go -he has been great for the club and hopefully his career kicks on at Dundee United. Ollie has been criticised for talking up Birraz to the Scots but good on him for helping a fellow professional and that is a fact of life that these guys are professionals and will eventually move on.The club gets some recompense and another player gets his chance .

Yeah let's not forget that Birraz was torn between family commitments and us which was the reason for his emotion at the last sit down. Ollie really not the deciding factor, just helping out a mate who wanted the move for family reasons. Can't say he's f**ked us at all in this regard.

I've got no ill feeling towards Oli for this. Very happy for Birra. Good to know that the personal relationships weren't strained with Oli's fallout with the club otherwise he wouldn't have put in a good word.

I don’t feel it was a revenge move, Birraz has wanted to go OS for many years and Covid allowed us to have him longer than we would have so good on him and you never know when he comes back to Oz we might be a good chance to get him again and keepers can play close to 40 yrs old.

Good luck to Oli and let’s see how he goes working with Rudan. I feel it will end in tears and Rudan will have enormous pressure on him with the $$$ he has splashed around.

just on this (I know it’s the wrong thread), IMO wanderers are poisoned football club. Could be a few years before they get anywhere again. You simply can’t just keep trying to buy a culture for a football club. They had it, let it die and now just throw recycled players and lots of money at it to revive it. It’s fun to watch.
They might get some okay early results but I fully expect rudan to be gone by the halfway point.

flip side is our wonderful little club that despite being purposely underfunded for almost a decade, now (and for the last few years) literally has a production line of talent ready for the aleague every season but because of the way football is set up in this country we can’t keep a lot of them. You could almost say we have too many quality players coming through.

We have our own taint that I can't put my finger on, have wondered about it for years but am not close enough to the back room to know. Players I really didn't expect to leave do so at the first opportunity. Maybe it's low money or poor facilities... always wondered if there is some pervasive influence of some sort that drives it. Maybe it's just the nature of a low budget club... hopefully with Peil on board it'll change.

Also consider that while the coast is a lovely place, it isn't where a lot of people want to be. Especially young men with cash.

As a someone over 30 with little kids I'd love to be back on the coast.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Or we have ambitious young footballers keen to take the next step in a very short career.

Didn’t cumdog get extended.

 

[Allreet?]

Cummings has another two years doesn't he?

 

[Allreet?]

Very much looking forward to the Cummings / Kuol show this year. Suspect one more year is all we'll get from Garang. But he'll leave us as champions.
