Whats happened with these rumours of players being offered contracts? Has anyone left?
Only Tade. Players v WaiBop yesterday included Tavano, Irving, Berlanga, De Vries, the Serb CB. Ivan seated next to Ramon.
Len Brown and Phil Goff pressing the flesh.

Emi heading home to Argentina after signing pro contract.
Huge huge loss to City.
Yep, he will be playing at Mitre de Santiago del Estero, a very small third tier team.
Not a smart move in my opinion, the team is professional but the contract wage must be pretty low. Plus the living conditions in Santiago are one of the lowest in Argentina.
It's his hometown team he's supported all his life though apparently.
And not having made it in pro football in his home country when younger, you can understand him wanting to take this opportunity.
Financially, I think Auckland City don't pay their foreign players that much from what I've read? I saw $260 / week mentioned?
Emilano has got family in Santiago so living there would be cheap for him.

We catch up with successful Auckland City coach Ramon Tribulietx to find out what’s been going on with him and his players since the side’s giant-killing run at the FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco.

Journeyman striker Óscar García Guerrero joins ACFC
Tavano and Payne leaving?
Journeyman striker Óscar García Guerrero joins ACFC
Tavano and Payne leaving?
so in summary two NZ eligible players out and two non-NZ eligible players in?
will make team selections interesting?
Payne the only one eligible in that lot

One kiwi out Two more foreigners in, I thought NZ Football had put a restrictions on how many foreign imports you were allowed in your squad. One may argue what are the doing for the development of Kiwi boys.

I think that 50% of the match day squad must be elegible for NZ
NZF regulation on national league....
19.10 The Start List must include a minimum number of New Zealand Qualified Players, which:
19.10.1 In the case of The League and The Championship Semi-final Play-offs shall be a minimum of 8 Players; or
19.10.2 In the case of The Championship Grand Final, shall be a minimum of 9 Players.
As long as Auckland are complying - along with all other entries - there's not really an issue here, is there?

no i was purely saying with two players out of the team who meet this criteria and two in who don't you might see some odd team selections to make sure they comply.

We talk local football with Auckland City's' Ivan Vicelich.

Can Tavano play for NZ or is that just all rubbish?
havn't seen it 100% confirmed but the evidence at this point suggests yes.
Tavano....? Good lord. He is an ok footballer but not AW material.

Could become a lot better tho if he gets game time in Mexican Primo Liga. Still only 21. And if we cap him first, we keep him. Just a thought.

Don't know anything about regs for Mexican League but would being an NZ International affect his eligibility ?
So we are giving away AW shirts now, must have to prove himself first just because he played for $uckland $ity doesn't mean he gets a Jerzy I'm with Vader on this.

If we are giving Benjamin Van Den Broek a cap for depth then Fabi should be in the same category. Not sure how the Romanian league compares to Mexico but...
