I am wondering what the probability of both zawada and kravev signing would be.
It appears due to money issues the nix want only Kosta. Zawada is free to go and Kravev may also be too expensive if the nix are receiving 1 million less from the tv deal.
AFC have indicated that they are wanting to fill all their 5 import spots. Both players appear well settled in nz and particularly kravev. It seems an easy fit.
We all know the import spots can be a bit of a gamble and having those two, mature players with no dramas (lack of English, crazy wives, homesickness etc) would appear a safe bet to build the team around.
Both also well known to the NZ football public.
Then the other 3 can play out, maybe one marquee and the other two with an emphasis on younger players and using the Bournemouth scouting connection in places like Africa and South America.
