Marinovic will definitely give him a run for his money. I reckon Marinovic can do much better than regional fourth tier in Germany. I'd love to see him in the 3. Liga. He helped Unterhaching be the team to concede the second least last season and the performances for the All Whites have been fantastic. Oftentimes one of only a few players who seemed to care.
Paston was fantastic in the World Cup, no doubt about it. He did have our best ever backline to help him though. The same can't be said about Marinovic's backline or Gleeson's when he regularly played for us.
Gleeson did indeed have a couple of howlers in Honiara, but my God has he grown as a player. He's so solid now his 2012 former self is unrecognisable. In 2012 I, and perhaps a lot of AWs fans, thought he was mediocre in a mediocre team. He deserves another chance at being a starter for the AWs now that he plays in the MLS, the second best league in North America (after Liga MX). He played for the Timbers 2 team and Sacramento Republic, at least I thought that was a black hole for him being there (much like Marco Rojas being in the reserves of Stuttgart)—however he was given a chance and he took it to prove his worth at a very high level.
MLS is definitely better than A-League in my opinion. The US national team is better than the Australian for starters right now. Secondly they have great quality North American/CONCACAF players which is better than AFC. They have players including David Villa (who only care enough to want to play a couple of times for Melbourne City), Sebastian Giovinco (starter/sub at Juventus who decided to take a paycheck in America while young, is now performing well and was selected for Italy until 2015), Gerrard, Pirlo, Bradley Wright-Phillips, and a lot of other quality players that a lot of us won't recognise because we don't watch it regularly.
