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!

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.
