So are Auckland waiting for the end of the A-League season before they announce any signings?
End of the ALM & most European seasons I reckon. They will want to unveil their first signings in person, complete with obligatory scarf held above head. Maximise the PR and marketing. Could be 10 plus guys all in attendance at once as a bit of a statement.
All a bit lame if make annoucements now, without the players actually present. Plus yeah all the NZ ALM focus is currently on the Nix. Better to wait for clear media air.
I presume the AWs will have an Albany camp, before June's (15th-30th) OFC Nations Cup in Vanuatu. So players starting to arrive in NZ early June, some of whom could be new Auckland FC signings. ALM Final is 25-26th May. So maybe a first Black Knights squad unveiling early June.
