Ahhhh the boy from Forest, Mississippi. Good pick up by AFC.
Their Aussies are proper experienced ALM players, not NPL journeymen.
YoungHeartHM Geez, how many Full Backs do they need? De Vries, Elliot, Sakai & Galloway is ridiculous depth in that position.

Guess you can't remember when Galloway played Left Back for the Nix? Galloway can play both sides. City played him mainly on the Right cuz Scott Jamieson was locked in at LB.

Look out for the mutual parting of ways. Have heard this from 3 very solid sources this time around.

Low balled J-Mac, getting mutual with Galloway, I wonder if they are feeling the financial pinch?

They're not short of coin, but perhaps a few chickens have come home to roost from CFG about continuing to pump money into their Australian outfit?

Champness played for Adanaspor last season before injuring himself.

Hall was born in Melbourne, and then adopted by white Australian parents. Maybe he just doesn't feel that Fijian. I read somewhere that for now he just wants to concentrate on his club football, but maybe one day will declare for Fiji.
He wants to try Europe at some point, but at age 25 that could be a bit late now. It's a 2 year deal with AFC.
Arnie has picked alot different players for the Socceroos in his tenure. Spread the net wide. So Hall will still think he's got a chance if he dominates in the ALM.
Jaushy Sotiro has never bothered to play for New Caledonia (both parents from NC, and he has a French passport). To be brutally honest playing for OFC teams, you are going to be playing a lower standard than your club football, with almost zero chance of going to a World Cup.
Re fullbacks, wouldn't surprise if 35 yr old & 6 foot Sakai is being looked at as a CB, or defensive utility.
Not much fanfare surrounding these announcements is there? You'd think they'd try and build it up more. Maybe that's just me though.
loyalgunner To be fair, Turkish league can be volatile at the best of times

Tommy Smith is obviously the other potential CB starter. And no doubt they'll sign a few scholarship CBs.
Champness or JOWIC is obviously a different sort of cat, with the whole music thing going on as well. But he's also a proven performer at ALM level. Sounds like he's still got some family in Auckland. Life there should be a bit more stable that Turkey. As long as he's always on time for trainings etc, no reason why Corica and co can't let him continue his muso stuff on the side.
AFC hoovering up all Unattached FC Kiwis. And yeah also surprised by how low key the club are doing these reveals.

De Vries is a left back, though that is right back nailed down if you have Elliot, Galloway & Sakai.

Just had a look at the spreadsheet of ALM contracts someone on twitter runs, he has Scott Galloway down as contracted until 24/25

Is Hall good enough to play for Australia or has he made a silly choice in not representing Fiji?
Also, has anyone worked out the Adana, Türkiye link? I'm presuming it has nothing to do with a kebab!

I’m a bit unsure of Champness. He had two spells in Turkey and both of them petered out into nothing. Were there fallouts on both occasions?

Yeh I wondered if they saw Sakai as a CB also. Or part of a 3 in some formations?
At CB they have signed Hall. Anyone else who looks like a potential starter CB?
And Champness bailed on Brisbane for a music career, had a club that stopped paying its players and then hardly played in the second tier iirc. Seems like a bit either way? In any case, a character and someone who might appreciate Auckland life. Probably could manage music and football if he wanted!
