n-bomb, this sounds very promising! i've read what you've written about this dude over the last couple of months. is he really that good? i'm just wondering because the standard of the welsh league is not great and northern 2 is a wee way off a-league
also, we've had former premier league reserve players over here before and they've been pants
please don't take this as negative, i just really want to push you hard to confirm that this guy is phoenix (and therefore also all whites) quality
He's an absolute class above the Northern League, and definitely deserves to be signed by Auckland - I think the massive interest in him shows that. I'm confident he will shine at Auckland - but there he'll be in a place where more forumers can get out and watch him, and make up their own minds. If he plays well at Auckland, then I would have no qualms with him as a Phoenix player. Obviously, he'll have to play at a high level to make that happen, but his talent is undeniable, I personally think he can do it - you guys can make up your own minds when you get to see him regularly.
that sounds really good and very promising for auckland and the league. nice scouting mate!
i read his extended profile on the acfc website and he certainly does look to be the real deal, having captained the everton reserves and won player of the year
