Pondeljak to MVFC?

[serious14]

Has anyone checked on the welfare of Serious14? I think he said that Tommy was the only bloke he'd ever take one from. ;D

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

"Devastated and shattered" would be an understatement.  This hurts more than any Grand Final loss for mine......

The team without you will never quite be the same as it was with you.  Best of luck Tommy, you will be missed.

Huge loss. A crucial part of the team.

The V4 recruitment drive is becoming a potential nail-biter.

Good luck Tommy, and thank you: your contributions were far from unappreciated

Not really that bigger loss when you have caceres now

get used to it for when it is confirmed that you lose Bridge, Musialik, Elrich, Durante, and probably Griffiths and holland, when they get offers overseas that are too good to refuse, you will feel as bad as most people on this forum about tommy leaving

Funny thing is griffo and holland are on contract.

well im sure itll come as more of a shock when james "escape clause" holland gets his european offer.
As for griffo they can just buy out his contract

Do you think OS clubs will by a guy who's only claim to fame is being a handball cheat?

On Griffiths, I think he will move on to greener pastures and may be offered something sooner rather than latter IMO.

I hope not but that is probably not how he will be remembered or seen by these clubs

Good luck Tommy P  :'(

This week just gets worse, first we were treated like absolute crap at the game by SCUM fans, then Danny gets that ban, now Tommy has left, and I am SHATTERED, but will still proudly wear my jersey with his name on the back. Good luck Tommy, wishing you all the best, thank you for your part in the Mariners success. You will be sorely missed. Your number one fan always.

Good luck Tommy P

They say He doesn't score many but when He does they are special

That is so true looking back at some of His efforts:

Running from halfway and beating 4-5 defenders and slotting past Bolton away to Sydney
The backheel against Perth
The chip against Adelaide
The preliminary final goal (for it's worth)
The effort v Newcastle in season 3
Against Melbourne to complete the comeback

Ah He will be missed but looking at things from a bright side it does give Me a slight reason not to absolutely hate MVFC

 

[pjennings]

I'm not shattered. I loved having Tommy here but he has a young family and wants to return home. More power to him for putting his family first.

Good luck Tommy - you were a joy to watch. You still will be except against the Mariners 

 

[BrisRecky]

To Tommy P....thanks for all your efforts and the hard yards you put in....hope you and yours thoroughly enjoy Mexico....Cheers mate

 

[Sonic_beats_Mario]

Thanks Tommy for everything in the past 3 seasons you will be missed heaps by myself as you were one of my Favs!

Good luck in Melb and hopefully us Mariners supporters wont boo you in V4.

 

[Wombat]

Sad days indeed.

 

[tommyd]

From the man himself
It was disappointing to get into a second Grand Final and not win it, but Im at Victory now so Im looking to reach another Grand Final and win one.

Will happen.  Melbourne doesn't choke in finals and has what will be the best team in the land.  Also, I would rather have Thompson any day over Aloisi.  Thompson wins grand finals on his own merrits, while Aloisi loses grand finals and wastes time acting like a little boy arguing with the ref.  Every year of the A-League a team with an Aloisi has choked come finals time

Season 1 and 2 = Adelaide (Inbread) United
Season 3 = Central Coast (Bogan Fisherman) Mariners

 

[fedelta]

Thanks Tommy. You're a legend and always will be/
Good luck.

I am very happy with the trade of Caceres for Tommy TBH

The good news is we will have a decent left winger and Kwas can drop back to the bench.

The bad news is the loss of Tommy and Gumps is a tragedy and we will need another QUALITY central middie to cover for Hutcho/Jedi.

 

[Sean]

Im just going off age,cost and performance in the HAL so far. Caceres is one of the most promising players in HAL and how Merrick kept him on the bench i dont know how, whereas we didnt get to see much of the Tommy P that shredded in the NSL.

In saying that i thoroughly enjoyed watching TP at our club and he provided alot of hope and creativity to our squad and hope he does well in his hometown.

All-night Dwight would be good cover!

 

[Penrith9103]

Thanks for everything Tommy. Good luck in Melbourne.

On the other hand, it's a good move from the club.
Tommy is 32 and has been replaced by Caecers??? who is 26.
A few younger players coming into the team is a good thing for the club and for our future.

 

[northernspirit]

Adrian Caceres is also a left footer which gives us better balance
I hope we can gain a few quicker players, particuarly in defence - we're basically slow from back to front

 

[skilbeck]

Im happy that he parted ways with the team on good terms. Its sad when that doesnt happen and we could be experiencing that soon as well.

And elrich as agreed to terms for a new contract

No, the funny thing is how naive that comment is.
