I like Old and apart from Rojas and Ifill, he is the only nix forward who whenever he gets the ball, I look up and get excited when he runs the ball.
I think however he really needs one more league in the A league, before Europe and in particular one of the top 5 leagues.
Of both Surman and Old, I also think that Surman has the ability to transition into a European first team with more ease and has the ability now to be a starting player.
From a NIX viewpoint Surman is also the one who if they are looking for the dollars from their investment is the better player to move as:
1: He is in the final year of his contract and now is the time to cash in
2: He is more easily replaced with two potential young kiwi centre backs in the squad who have shown far more last season then our young wide players.
3: With the Auckland teams arrival the more wow attacking players who excite the nix have, the better. Even better if they are kiwi, they are rare and old fits that bill.
Surman is the one we should look to transfer
