Since the season in most countries is well underway, and in spite of the sharkfest NZF finds itself in right now, I thought I'd resurrect this thread a bit to take a look at some names that could work out for the AWs on merit.
Keegan Linderboom - May be an eligibility crisis but the guy is banging in goals in the Singaporean league and did very well for Waitakere in his time here. May be worth a quick scout.
Fabrizio Tavano - Recently gained his NZ citizenship and he's a guy I'd love to see playing for the AWs or even the Phoenix due to his versatility from DM to striker. Him and his father aren't model citizens but I like the way he plays.
James McGarry - Must be doing something right to get minutes in the Eredivisie?
Niko Kirwan - Playing full matches in Serie C, a respectable league. Chris Ikonomidis was called up for Australia while playing for Lazio's youth, so the level wouldn't be too different, right? Already been called up but hasn't played.
Callum McCowatt - Surely better than Billingsley and Patterson?
James Musa - Been called up under Hudson but since then has become a rock at USL level, integral to Phoenix Rising reaching the USL playoff final.
Jordan Vale - For me he's better than Colvey at right back, done very well in the two ACFC games I've attended along with Dan Morgan, another wildcard
