Mariners Squad 2022/2023

[Big Dog]

What are the nationalities of the CB's mentioned?

 

[Michael]

In this interview he says 2 defenders plus a goalkeeper.


In this one (5:30) he says a contract has been agreed with a visa CB who's "played at a high level", pending the visa being approved. And also another CB that he knows very well, which sounds like someone with Aussie citizenship.

These interviews are what I keep referencing and coming back to.
the Vanuatu CB doesn’t match the “played at a high level” or “waiting for visa clearance and flying over”
But does match the “knows very well” if you consider he was on trial last season too.

so unless the high level visa cb has fallen through, forcing Monty to sign this Vanuatu player as a injury replacement…. Then I guess so be it.

I agree. He never played at a high level and is certainly a development/money ball player.

We are still desperately lacking that leadership across our backline.

I've heard the Vanuatu player is a replacement for Moresche and a non-australian CB coming in

This would make the most sense, no need for anymore attackers (perhaps Katlak will only be here until January when Moresche is expected to be back) and with hally still a concern with his knee there’s more depth alongside this mythical “HQ Visa CB”

But in saying all that, I’d prefer triantis/Windust to get any minutes if hally knee gets dodgy.

Relax Mick et al, it’s all under control the quality visa CB signing still happening, just held up due paperwork delays. We all just need to trust Monty’s plan.

Another Patrick Zwaanswijk would be great. Cool head, great leader, superb vision, can score.

Are any of the names mentioned on the money...

Arguably the best back visa player and in the top 5 of all time visa players and he trained Trent well...

Can't think of one that would challenge him

They have all been on the word search so far…..

 

[Corsair]

Anyone got any updates on how Simmo is going?

Great showreel, this has me excited, I'm thinking number 6 enforcer paired with Niz rather than CB.

Way too early for that soundtrack though

I'm going to have a guess....Kevin Long. CB at Burnley. EPL experience.

Great non-answer. Have you ever considered a career in politics?

His EPL experience was mainly spent on the bench.

(Is in the find-a-word though)

When you say "quality", are we talking "recently-released-by-a-championship-club-but-has-played-MUCH-higher-level" quality?
