Is this the guy playing for Wellington in the NZFC? Move it.

Why don't you just go watch Team Wellington?

Next home game: Team Wellington v Waitakere United

Yea it is y? he is being linked with the phoenix thats the only reason he is playing with team wellington

He cant sign for the Phoenix this year because of money but will have a crack next year. Wants to stay in Welly in the meantime so has signed for TW.

I see an Auckland club chairman has labelled Benicio signing and TW moving Barron to marquee status as a "sham".
Would never have happened in Auckland would it!!!!!!!!!!!! Get over it. It's within the rules.

Just met him down at Raf's, seems like a good bloke and he speaks English well enough, which is always a plus  He will be playing against Waitak. He also told me to bring as many Feverites down as possible, so anyone who doesn't usually come to Team Welly matches - WHO ARE YA?  (4pm this Sunday at Newtown Park - BE THERE!)

Whoever he is he won't be a pinch on Sandbrook or Robinson! 

After seeing him yesterday - Verdict: He can play.

serious or sarcasm?

serious

Yeah, his passing game is quality. Pure class.

i was hoping that was the case...just wanted to make sure i wasn't misinterpreting DF's post

Has he played any more games?

He was injured today, but he told me he should be fine for the next match. 

Hows he going guys is he Nix class for next season?

I missed the game yesterday. He only came on as a sub in the 66th min according to the NZFC website.

Not so far... hopefully over the injury and match fit we'll see more out of him.

I wouldnt be picking him on current form. He still has plently of games to prove himself though.

Saw him play for Team Wellington vs Waitakere around xmas. Even though Wellington got thumped 6-1 I thought he has potential. Quite short like Felipe but stocky. He played quite deep in midfield quite often dropping back in front of the defenders in a playmaking roll.

On the positive side he has a great first touch and passes superbly. On the negative side he looked well short of a run...looked like he needed to work on his fitness.

Rickie was at that game. I guess if he shows good signs he might get some game pre season trial games with the Phoenix to see what he can do at a higher level

My mate in Wgtn said he has a great touch and can pass but when WU were all over TW on Sunday he went missing. Do we really want a player that is great going forward but can't defend - seriously we can score we just can't defend. I think the Nix have too many players that can't defend making them a team that drops too many points to be top-drawer. Ricki will fix that but I am not sure that Caua is the answer. Felipe is a better player going forward and probably can defend better.

He didn't come on until about the 60th minute, Waitak were dominant in the first half in the main.
