WTF we need this Beach guy for is totally beyond me. As far as I can see he hasn't made a first-team appearance at Mariners. We let Gauci go, we let Delianov go. In the end Nieuwenhuizen will leave and next minute he'll be starter elsewhere. Edit: I suppose it could be a three-year Scholarship, but he's 20??

Given that there's a major rebuild going on around him, it's better all round, both for Marco and for the club. I just hope that he goes to a club where he's going to play rather than just waste a career on a bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a salary-capped league and I am ambivalent about tying up marquee and designated player places on local players, especially young local players. If they're that good then, like Marco, they will be attracting overseas clubs and for their careers it's better for them to take one of those opportunities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I probably didn't quite word it correctly, I meant more like he would get a lot more playing time here than perhaps overseas currently. Also don't believe we would be offering him marquee status as I can't see our current big earners wanting to take a pay cut... he should definitely take his chances of progressing himself overseas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
