The two I would go for are ACFC defender John Irvine (better than Sigmund or Manny imho) and obviously Clapham, who would be more of an attacking midfielder than Riera. What's obvious at the Phoenix is without the terrier quality of Riera then Lia is exposed in midfield by his shortcomings in passing. Still think any number of ASBP forwards could replace Brockie.
I'm intrigued in these 'any number of forwards' Please name these Kiwis - they just signed Watson and probably the best of the imports (Krishna) has shown nothing......
