DaveF Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Sourced from the BBC Sport Website: Former Middlesbrough midfielder Carlos Marinelli is eyeing a move to Bristol City. (The Sun) I know the Sun probably isn't the most reliable source but it's better than "my mate who works inside the club" in my opinion. Anyone heard anything about it?

gaz897 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Living in hope is better than watching our Midfield perform. Is he a wide player or central? Remember the name, but not the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarksRed Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 looks good on UTUBE, primarily left footer, a bit like Carle with the tricks and turns, but looks a more powerful player. Looks one that Maynard could do well with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveF Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Bad news guys, I looked on google and he's in the team for ugliest players ever. They have a point... http://www.uglyfootballers.com/genpage.asp?DocumentID=63 Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhyde Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Not sure he's of the required standard, who knows when someone plays in a dodgy league. Cou.d be a star here cou.d be rubbish. I'd like to think we'd be looking at south american talent. Christian Riveros would be nice as would a couple of his international teamates that haven't yet made it to Europe.

bh_red Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'm sure we have no doubt taken a look at him. As Gary has said in the past he's constantly getting player videos, all get looked at, most go in the bin, some get further researched. However he'sjust been released by Kansa City Wizards so is available on a free, so it's no doubt just a case of his agent trying to drum up some interest, looking at the below quote from the US, I'd imagine he's one of those that went in Gary Johnson's bin.........Thanks Carlos but No Thanks. Carlos Marinelli also found himself on the outside looking in. The Kansas City Wizard creative midfielder never lived up to the promise of his first game in which he scored a penalty. In 41 games Marinelli never managed to score again. Despite collecting 8 assists, injuries and a training confrontation with Head Coach Curt Onalfo spelled the end for Marinelli.

Tom Fleuriot Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Work permit? Unless he has a Spanish grandparent or got UK nationality when at Boro. Could be exciting but I doubt this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swansea_Red Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 And right under the Marinelli rumour is one about Swansea trying to sign and Irish winger for 175k. A club, in my opinion, of similar stature/ability to City, with good scouting networks, looking for a bargain in Ireland. Granted, they're not all world beaters, but there is some quality over there! Maybe the sort of player we have on our radar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Ferret Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Kansas City Wiz fans say he was a bit underwhelming for them If he can't hack the MLS retirement home then I'm not sure he has much chance with the more competitive Championship!

Dynamite Red Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I would be very surprised if we were interested. Marinelli does holds an Italian passport so no work permit would be required. Very talented player but is light weight and has struggled with consistancy at all clubs, plays in the hole (behind the strikers). Played in the top divisions of England, Italy, Argentina and Portugal. Oh and he is 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easton boy Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Stange(ish) article on the OS this morning. http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,1...1480860,00.html Adam Baker(?) starts by saying we are linked with Marinelli, then GJ goes off saying we will be linked with endless players but without saying we aren't interested in Marinelli - not that I would expect him to - its just strange that Adam makes reference to it - no smoke without fire???
