Normann deserves a crack at the ALM. Voted best player in the OPL.
Prins was frequently mentioned as one of the best young players in the CL, and someone the Nix should consider.
He's obviously a very skilful young guy, who enjoys the fancy stuff. But watching some of those early OPL games, he was often trying little futsal flicks etc that weren't coming off. Maybe coach Casserly told him just to stop doing that low precentage stuff.
You go into a full time pro setup you have to really want it, to succeed. From memory at Olympic, Prins was still juggling playing football and futsal.
Anyway I hope Auckland sign him, as there could be a proper player there in the right environment.
Young Bailey Ferguson another to watch if he gets signed. Kiwi heritage who has come through the QLD NPL scene, and only had a couple of OPL games before Corica promoted him briefy to the ALM squad. Pacey winger, that might replace Francois?
