Didnt I tell everyone this 3 months ago??? Smeltz would be off? I mean its not a hard decision 3 year contract, great lifestyle, great weather, who would want to live in that sh*thole backward cold city Wellington anywayz!!! No opportunity, no future!!
Steady on Hortus....yes we are lots of those things but it is only cold 10 months of the year....Jan and Feb are often warmish!!!!!
Trouble with recruiting a gun striker is that it is so hit and miss....excuse the pun. For every gem there are 10 duds. Look at the A-League...lots of examples. Currently the two import strikers at the Mariners have failed to score!!!
There also lots of examples of players who score by the bucket load with one club and then chase the money and are crap at their new club...Mr Aloisi springs to mind. So be warned Mr Smeltz. Ricki and the Phoenix took you from oblivion playing for some backward shiite hole suburban pub team in the UK. Where would you be today if it had not been for the Phoenix?
We wish you well if you do go to Bling2 but remember that a new coach, new team, new setup does not always mean continuing personel success!!!!!
