Word on the street:

Same contacts and agent as Perez were used. Mariners will sign an Argentinian Striker currently playing in the Segunda División (Spanish 2nd division).

Reliable source

Hey man, sorry to kinda spam your thread. Why is he wearing white shorts in your pic? I've only watched 1 CCM game and can't remember if it's the uniform, alhough i'm quite sure it isn't. Could you clarify? Thanks :)

Lol well it's a compromise for Sydney FC. See, they have dark navy in their kit which clashes with ours, so really we should wear our away kit when we play there. As a compromise, Sydney FC let us wear our home shirt, but with our away shorts and socks. Aren't they nice?

Thanks. I guess given their situation they have to try everything to put off the opposition! :p

you should throw some names out.....if the pay segunda div and your source is reliable there cant be more than 10 striker options that arent gettng game time, are mates with perez and who wanna come to australia to dive and have a holiday

there cant be too many Argentine strikers playing in Spain div 2

Striker from Las Palmas, Mauro Quiroga. Don't think has played a game yet based on Soccerway. This guy is 21 so I don't know if it would be him.

He's the only one listed as a striker, but there's also a Segunda B.

There is Emiliano Armenteros, but he's listed as a midfielder (doing alright for goals so far, on loan from Sevilla).

It is either 1 of the follwoing 3:

1) Óscar Trejo - 22 years old:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%93scar_Trejo

2) Facundo Coria - 23 years old:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facundo_Coria

3) Mauro Quiroga - 21 years old

(no Wiki page)

Which one would be best? :-k

trejo.

if you want a fast forward.

Perez's time at Velez Sarsfield sort of overlaps with Coria's time there, they both seem to have been loaned out to different clubs at the time though, so that could be possible a hint towards it being him. maybe a bit of a stretch.

Quick question (sorry to spam again), what would happen if Coria's Villareal B side won the Segunda? Would there be two Villareal sides in the top flight or would the promotion spot go to the highest finishing not-promoted side?

wasent this thread a brailian striker before?!

Currently most probable candidate:

Damien Zalio
[youtube]s8cH8x5GW5o[/youtube]

He seems to be more of a winger or second striker though, which will suit us because we have 4 big target men. Depends if Arnie is going to keep playing the 4-4-2 diamond though.

If it's this guy I'd have

---------------Ryan---------------
-Bojic-Wilkinson-Zwaanswijk-Rose-
--------Griffiths---Hutchinson--------
--Zalia-------Perez-------Bozanic--
-------------McBreen-------------

Subs:
Simon
McGlinchey
Amini
Henderson (GK)

I don't really like the idea of not having McGlinchey start though :(

Stop living in the past man!

Apparently it's someone called "Frandinho".

I can't find anything on him. Does anyone know who he is? And besides the Brazillian sounding name, he is apparently Argentinian.

Poor Mariners looking for some no-name South American....the Jets though.....

I'm liking this high horse

Perez was a "no-name South American". So was Flores. What's your point? Because the Jets are getting someone from Europe "who has represented their country at international level"?

I would only be jealous if it is Michael Mifsud. Infact, if it is Michael Mifsud I will travel to Newcastle and watch every home game you guys play. I'd also go watch when you play Sydney. I would also probably cry that he didn't choose CCM :cry:

*coffZuracoff**

Your horse isn’t that high son.

My polished toilet seat suggests otherwise

[size=2]*hurr durr wooden spoon lol*[/size]

=d>

they wont be allowed to be promoted. if its anything the same as my football manager game where real madrid B not only won the segunda, but also won the copa del rey xD, then they have to stay in the segunda and the next highest ranked team goes up

Ok it's definitely Zalio. Turns out he arrived here late last week and is going to start trialling with us this week.

Double post

Edited by cbowden9000: 18/10/2010 11:56:23 AM

He plays as a right-winger in a 4-2-3-1 system. Not sure how Arnie is gonna use him.

[youtube]TFTUKme1dL8[/youtube]

He looks like an exciting player!

4-3-3 perhaps?

-------------------Ryan-------------------
-Bojic-Wilkinson-Zwaanswijk-Rose-
----McGlinchey-Griffiths-Perez----
--Zalio-------McBreen-------Bozanic--

Subs:
Simon
Hutchinson
Porter
Henderson (GK)

I can't find info on him anywhere! Does anyone know where to get info on footballers besides Wikipedia?

More likely

--------------Ryan--------------
-Bojic-Wilkinson-Zwaanswijk-Rose-
------------Griffiths-------------
----McGlinchey------Bozanic-----
-------------Perez------------
---------Zalio------McBreen--------

FM? lol

TransferMarkt.co.uk is pretty handy, but I couldn't find any info of him on there either.

Also with this boy, also try

http://www.google.es/

http://www.google.com.ar/

It may STILL be Google, but it's Google Espana and Google Argentina. ;)

The both will feature mostly links in the Spanish language ofcourse, but they will feature many links from Spain (Where he plays) and Argentina (Where he's from, also played) and so the odds may be slightly higher they will have links on the player from sites there.

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villarreal_Club_de_F%C3%BAtbol_B

That's been updated and I presume he was released a while ago, because no mention of him there or in the page's 'recent' history (like this year) of squad list changes. Though with Wikipedia you can never be too sure, the page may not be updated that reliably.


Hmmm now those Youtube videos are interesting, you see, who posts them? Often people from those countries, leagues, and not always, infact often, they're NOT English speakers! That Youtube clip actually revealed enough information to glean closer - The club featured in that 'Damian Zalio 2009' that he played for was C.P. Cacereno - I searched for them, through the es.Wikipedia, and then the page's revision history and found 'Zalio' listed during 2009, but he doesn't even have an es.Wikipedia site, let alone English one.

http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Club_Polideportivo_Cacere%C3%B1o&diff=16395174&oldid=16394598

http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dami%C3%A1n_Zalio&action=edit&redlink=1

So no luck through any language Wikipedia lol, except to confirm the video footage that he was there during 2009. lol

So again, just search the Espanol sites.

Wow! You're very resourceful! I wouldn't even think to use a foreign Google or Wiki haha!

Thanks heaps bud :)

Yep I agree with this as being the most likely scenario. Arnie sure loves his diamond 4-4-2. I actually like the formation and where it's got us myself to be honest.

If in doubt....then definitely check football manager. There is some truth to it.....THINK its out in four days and 5 hours and 31 minutes.....

My FM 2010 stopped working but yeah I can't wait for 2011. Cheers mate.

I'd help you out with mine but I deleted my 2010 to get my life back.....(well not that drastic but you know what i mean....)

Haha well I pre-ordered FM2011 on Steam for $90US cause it came with some free Sega games. I'm hoping the opposite of you that I can get lost into it again.

So is this Zalio guy a definite signing? And is Arnie gonna bring him in as a guest player?

Zalio is definitely here on the Central Coast trialling with us this week. The actual signing isn't definite yet but word on the street is that Arnie is planning to sign him anyway but wants to go through a few precautionary things first. A medical and other things too.

Whether as a guest player or a permanent signing I don't know.

From his youtube video he looks great :)

If it's the damian zalio video, i concur.

type zalio as xalio thats what they ha din him down as in the video

Yeah I've tried that. Good spotting though.

Damian Zalio has been trialling with us for the past 2 weeks and is still here trying to impress an indecisive Arnold.

anybody got the goss on whether he's the goods? I assume he must be doing at least OK if he is still there. Where is Perez? Injured?

After a full 3 week trial, the Mariners have opted not to sign Damian Zalio. Good to see we're holding out for quality.
