So what you are saying is that our team, The Phoenix is not up to your standards.
I think what the other poster was saying, is that the choice is not risk free for a player moving from Ole to the nix at age 18/19. The Nix doesn't have a great record at continuing development in the critical years. It's not about saying they are too good for the nix, but where are they best placed to continue to develop as players.
That's the choice facing those players; where are the next few years best for them and their long term goals.
It's not disparaging to the Nix or the the A-League to state that the goals for NZ are to have our brightest young talents playing professionally in the best leagues in the world.
