Jakub sinkurra, Dan Robinson, and Rob Gill have all signed.

Apparently Bunce is signing, plus a couple of English imports.
Will post more news as i hear it.

You never know there is a curious rumour that WYNTON may even sign up. He's been playing in goal for Hamilton Wanderers over the last couple of weeks. And with Wilkinson and Cossey involved in coaching at Wanderers and also the Waikato FC coaching team....add one and one and you may get three. Evidently Wynton is keen for a run. Worth trotting on for the last 25 mins of a game and also just to draw a few more in the gate. Sinkora was a flop last time out with Waikato, Robinson seems to be a good keeper but he does need a good defence in front of him. Bunce will be good value but another couple of quality defenders need to be brought in. Aaron Scott should be a cert. I don't watch Wanderers so can't comment on who is any good there but if Luke Findlay is signed up I'll have a smile on my face. He talks himself up pretty well but he aint NZFC material. I'd rather see a Kiwi in there than a circus freak who can do keepy-uppy all day long. Chris Wood has done enough to get called into the WFC squad and should even get a run. Jeez I dunno why I;m going on about Waikato...I'm an Auckland City fan at present:-p

You think Utts will end up back there? Gillespie has been signed by Waitak with (apparently) the lure of being No.1

I think Melville United' s Eddie Trubshoe should be in with a shout. He only conceded 18 goals in the Northern 1st Division and perhaps Simon Eaddy if he is out of the picture at Ytak. My interest in Waikato FC is rather minimal due to opinions the current coach has about my administrative skills in setting up the franchise in the first place, so until he moves on I'm busy doing what  can for Auckland City. It's all political in the Waikato I tell ya and I'm not one for been criticised by people who have no idea what the truth is.

Fair call mate, he's only in the job cause there is no one else.
 
One guaranted signing for Waikato will be Sam Wilkinson - the only way he can get a game is to sign with his Dads team.

Oh they had applications from Australian coaches right through to ones from Europe but more a case of better the devil you know I guess. Roger is the "Charmed One" in Waikato football circles because he's the most recent coach to bring footballing success to the region after winning the 1988 Chatham Cup final - a final in which the opposition Christchurch United didn't lose over two legs. 2-2 in Christchurch was enough to win it on away goals in the first leg and a 1-1 draw at Muir Park confirmed it. I admire him for what he has achieved but learned first hand via a face to face argument in the Melville Clubrooms prior to him taking the Auckland City job, just what sort of person he is. Bu yes it does highlight just how poor the coaching is in the Waikato.

Waikato will be competitive this season , a far cry from the last 2 seasons under Edmonson and Edge. Wilkinson is the best man for the job and no one in Waikato that knows anything about football is disputing that.
Yes Sam Wilkinson will probably sign, he is Wanderers best player so naturally it makes sense for them to sign him. As for the boy findley, when have you seen him play Stantial, i thought you didnt watch Wanderers?

Best player?  He hasn't improved since he was 18!! He is a good player at northen league.  But hardly a centre midfield in the national league.  Just ask anyone at Auckland city.  Ha ha.

Sam Wilkinson the best player that Wanderers have??? Give me a break. When Sam learns to pass ball to feet and not give away possession (and also cut away Daddy's apron strings) he might get somewhere.
Luke Findlay couldn't find the goal if someone stuck it in his back pocket. When he learns to focus on the game rather than the silly sh*t he does during it like dissent or time waste, he might get somewhere.

There is 2, maybe 3 players I'd take from that Wanderers side. Chris Woods, Stu Watene and maybe Jeff Sole (oh and if you count Chadwick, but he is at Auckland City) 3, maybe 4

Michael Utting has signed with Waitakere.

Is Wyton playing at Wanderers, that seems like crazy talk!  Also makes North League footy look bad with a dude that old playing, no matter how good he was in his prime.

He's been playing in goal for them
 
Look, the guy's a legend; he'd still make the all whites when he's 80 if he made himself available.  Have you seen what we've produced lately?!?
