Current Player Thread Marselino Ferdinan

Yes, that and his complete lack of any of the physical attributes needed to make it as a professional footballer outside of the Far East.

I'm still curious to know to what degree Rowett has instructed to play him in the dead rubber against Swansea.

This isn't a fair comment.

Lots of players with smaller than average physiques have made it as top level professional footballers and Tyler Goodrham is an example of one who can still dominate his central position in the Championship.

Dominate is a strong word.

Yeah, so what are you suggesting?

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

That he’s massively disadvantaged by his size and gives away loads of free kicks trying to over compensate

You can’t believe he has dominated his central position in the championship? Jury is still out on him at this level, obviously will be for a while yet due to injury.

I’m not sure that’s what happened against Southampton.

Your first line doesn’t make sense.

Regardless, the jury may be out you, but under Des, GR and Short, his best games were played centrally.

Yeah but have you seen his Instagram following?

Its not a big enough sample yet though. Needs to come back and put a decent spell in for me, his good games are to few and far between at the moment. Obviously nothing he can do about that at the moment.

 

[Emilio]

If each of his followers donated £1 to the cause, we'd have one hell of a new striker through the doors before the deadline closes.

 

[Mojofilter]

Whats gonna happen with this lad? Will they let him be sold?

Hate to say it but I hope so.

 

[CaptainOx]

Back fit and 'on the grass'.
He'd count to squad cap next season so will surely be sent on his way

My thoughts exactly. I dont mind us carrying favour with the owner by carrying his pet project but if it'll cost us a meaningful player I hope we can see sense

 

[NorthWestOx]

I doubt he'd be 'sold'...
I think it wll depend if we stay up.
In Lge 1 you're only allowed 7 subs, so 7 players miss out on the match day squad.
In the Championship, we need 25 top quality players, so we don't have room for any passengers.

 

[SwissYellow]

imagine him being sold to an Indonesian club for $40m. Helps the old FFP rules.....

 

[ZeroTheHero]

We haven't really seen that much of him, but what we have seen wouldn't fill me with excitement if we were playing in L1 next season, never mind the championship. I hope that the owner will be much more sensible in terms of our preparation next season (again, wherever we end up) - no daft preseason tournament, no players included from Indonesia unless it is on merit, sensibly planned spending on the squad rather than seemingly moving the goal posts half way through. Unless he has suddenly improved, not keeping Marselino would be a part of that.

 

[unification]

We have to do right by the player as well. He’s 21 and will want to play to make sure he keeps being called up to the Indonesia national team.

He’s not at the level we need so let’s call it quits in the summer.

 

[Emilio]

Still training at the club, as he makes a brief appearance in the background of the latest club video. Not clear whether he's at all involved in first team squad training, or in a reserved/youth group.

 

[Boris]

Saw him at the training ground last week, with Gatlin

hmmmmmm - can anything be read into that?

This is the next QAnon conspiracy.

Only that they had both finished training together and Gats was giving Lino a lift home (or vice versa)

 

[carefreeoufc]

He's living in Didcot at the moment (Lino).

 

[Basham Wonderland]

Feel a bit sorry for him after reading that.

 

[Wallop]

Blimey - that's a step down from where he was living.

 

[holdsteady]

Is living on one of the new estates in Didcot any worse than the new estates around Bicester? As that’s where he will be living, pretty much like for like.

Didcot is closer to Berkshire so yeah, a lot worse ;-)
