The general consensus is that Roy is next year, as for Albert - wasn't there something about him going back to spain after his first year here? So he's probably a few years away still.

Roy Krishna will apply for residency in May and then will have to wait five years to become a citizen, so still an import for a while yet.

Seems like a waste of a visa spot if that's true. Yes he's playing well and is a good import whom I've always rated BUT is he really worth that visa spot of another 3-5 years?
People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.
Probably isn't helped by our history of mediocre imports... I still believe imports should be on a level that you cannot find domestically, otherwise whats the point? But quality imports often comes down to money, which Welnix don't want to spend too much of.
As long as Krishna holds onto his form I dont think most people will have a problem with him taking a up spot.
The greater implication is that if he is an import, then Kenny is gone and we can't sign any other imports for next year.

Seems quite likely that the rule about imports will be pushed back, all the teams are against it.

No, that is NOT what the club's are saying.
That infers they want either no limits, or an increase in the number of imports allowed.
The article specifically states that what they are against is a reduction in the number of imports allowed from 5 to 4. They are arguing that the number remain at 5, NOT that there should be no limit or a higher limit.
Limiting imports further seems a bit stupid. If you are a talented Australian then you are going to get your chance. Even though some of the imports right now are low quality, having 5 imports does give teams a bit more flexibility. Either way, this is an issue which needs to be cleared up immediately because teams want to negotiate new contracts.
I think Cunningham would be on the way out anyway. I would like to have the possibility of using an import spot on a defender.
I would like to see it moved to 4 imports. That means you are going to put a bit more emphasis on bringing in decent ones that will make your team better not the over the hill Fowler and Heskeys that we have seen.

If they expand to 2 more Aussie based clubs that's at least 12 more starting spots available for Aussies. I think there's a risk that expansion plus a drop in number of imports combined could lower the quality of the league as a whole by spreading talent more thinly. From the Nix perspective though that would be a good thing because the relative advantage of having both kiwis and Aussies count as locals would be greater.

With only 4 imports would we have ever risked Riera, Krishna or Rodriquez?
Ryan De Vries anyone?
He's looked very useful, as have all the defenders, Spoonley today looked good, Midfield sound too. hmmm
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

Yea, he is missing that golden touch in front of goal that set him apart from the pack las year. ACFC could have been in the final if he was more deadly with his finishing.
Not enough syllables. Needs to change his name by deed poll to something like "An-te-li-mi" for it to scan in most chants.
Our whole squad has got to be chantable

Although there is potential with "Patrick Can't Tell me..."
I'd take Aucklands left back.
I have been underwhelmed with Doyle thus far and Muscat is getting older...
Unfortunately, I think he's an import so no go. Devries has a kiwi passport now so he can be signed as a local, same with Burfoot soon I believe.
Instead of signing new players I'd be keen to see Rufer and Boyd get more opportunities.

Ernie has never sounded keen on signing more players in Jan anyway
