good work wodger.  keep us posted on any other signings.  i posted an article a week or so ago, when colin tuaa was named coach which detailed a few signings.  would be good to stay informed on any further signings and how liam mulrooney's injury is going
 
cheers mate
 
and yeah, gill has signed for waikato.  i spoke to gisborne main man kevin whitley a few weeks back and he said that he had a nzfc sides after him, but was going for waikato because his mate dan robinson was going to sign there again
 
on that note, interesting to see robinson on the bench for gissy at central league level now that utting has signed and at this stage will be waikato's number one at nzfc level.

Fallon said he thought Robinson was now basically an NZFC player where Utting was in for the long haul.  Could be tied to the timing of the NZFC.
 
On a different note, anyone know what Gisborne pays its players?

No.  They play in an Australian competition, if they transfer to Team Wellington (even on loan) it will use the one international transfer FIFA allows in a calendar year and they will not be able to transfer back and play for the Phoenix.

Sorry Hard News but your not quite right there...they can be on an international loan to TW and then return to Phoenix...don't know if it will happen but it is within  rules

Steve, almost there with the rules. The International Loan Player clause requires the player concerned to have played for the All Whites after 1 Jan 2006.
Neither Draper or Costa have played for the All Whites and neither was named in Ricki's squad for the World Cup Qualifiers. Looking unlikely to be available to TW unless they get a late call up and play against Vanuatu in Oct allowing them to be named in TW before the start of the NZFC.

Having said that the NZFC rules would allow them to come inot our league but would the A-League allow them to return as and when Ricki required them. Loan Agreements for professionals are very specific.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't he classed as an amateur player until he takes to the field in a A league game ??

it all should be moot in my opinion
 
FIFA doesn't give a toss about the NZFC, the rules were designed for others.  it's amatuer, it's little, it's barely noticed, so why don't we just design our own rules and argue to anyone who resists that they are necessary for the development of our game?!
 
it made me laugh watching glynn taylor trip over himself trying to stop good players from transferring into/around the nzfc last year.  i know these are the 'rules', but what does this do for the game's development!?

I doubt the problem is with the NZFC anyway, my bet is the problem would be with the FFA.  Also, isn;t there a 4 week stand down to transfer between professional and amateur ?

Just my take on the regulation...I think Phoenix could give 4 weeks notice and loan a player to any NZFC franchise and call that player back with 24hours notice however it could only happen once...i.e. that player couldn't return to the NZFC team
 
On the local scene I agree that NZ should behave like the Aussies and write our own rules as stopping players play at NZFC level and below due to FIFAs 3 club rule is a nonsense for us...players on the fringe of NZFC football can end up missing out on playing regional football which is ridiculous...and for the very few that would be good enough to play for the phoenix they should be allowed to be called upon.

I think you will find that a player who has signed a professional contract is a professional player.

As for Loan Players - only All Whites and those players in the Academy are able to be taken on a loan basis. So possibly Phoenix could loan Draper & Costa to TW but then they would have a 4 week stand down to become amateurs.

The first game of the NZFC is in Nov so they still have time.

However, won't they then transgress the 3 club rule? Presumably they played some winter football be fore going to their respective world cups. TW would be club number two and then the Phoenix would be club number 3.

The A League were not concerned last year when Dean Gordon did this playing for Albany, Auckland City and Knights. Although they stopped Sydney registering certain players for the Asian Champions League based on the three club rule.

What a wonderful mess we have created!!

I'm pretty sure Costa at least stopped playing for Olympic before the cut off so Phoenix is only his first club.  Not sure on the other two though
