2014/15 Transfer Speculation

I won't believe anything until nufc_nz hears it from his source and he puts his balls on it

I save my brain for uni, not yellow fever.

fuk u

Well folks, there you have it.

The future of New Zealand! Tomorrows Leaders!

C-Diddy, those in glass pasta jars should not cast stones....

leadership takes effort and some form of responsibility. Something I will never aspire to because it makes life less fun.  

wouldn't want him to go for less than $1.5 mil in any case, at least make a decent profit for losing a proficient player.

politics lol

Less moron in this thread please.  Would hate to have to offer R/Os.

Hopefully nobody puts in an offer for Ernie, harder to compensate than losing Burns. Ernie himself said that he tried to contact the chinese agent! What about that for some angst?

not sure anyone would be interested in ernie, without the promotion of the acl it'd be hard to get noticed.

How long until lectures start again?

Not until March 2025 I think

That is a piss poor gif, he could be saying anything, but he's not saying the message that's for sure

Easily the worst one I've ever seen.

more fiction or some fact in this one?

I wouldn't believe a word Ante Alilovic utters. Who know's if he really is acting for a club or just being a chancer. As Ernie said in Pineys' clip (taken down from soundcloud), if a club is serious they will put it on letterhead to the Nix Board.

The rest seems like Burns playing a straight bat

"I'm always open to new challenges but what's meant to be is meant to be."

ill still be talking bollocks to you lot.

I went to university but what's an R/O? Sounds like something you would devour?

I think he meant T/O as in time out... R close to T on keyboard (and ya' know fat fingers and stuff)

You've obviously never seen Toy Story........

Yeah saw it ages ago, if he says it in the film then make a gif of it.

 In your gif Buzz seems to be saying "nufc_nz is a cock".

Your other one is better as I imagine you look like Mr Bean, just younger

So how bout that transfer speculation?

I signed eli babalj and jake gleeson on fifa; pretty good buys. Not sure if the club is interested in them or not.

Read Only.

Devoured by remorse, belatedly.

This thread needs more Kirsty Allsopp

Agree.

Looks like there will be 5 visa spots available next season.

Cunningham is the only "foreigner" whose contract expires at the end of this season - IMHO I don't think there's much doubt he won't be renewed with his visa spot being used to open up the options for recruiting a striker.

Shanghai Shenhua  moving on from Burns - I sure hope so !!

"Shenhua chiefs have not totally shut the door on Burns, though the club has made it clear to Wellington that its asking price is too rich and that coach Ernie Merrick may have overplayed Phoenix's hand.

Burns is contracted until the end of the 2015-2016 season and is believed to have a buy-out-clause in his contract which would enable him to leave the club for a nominal fee at the end of this season.

Shanghai's hierarchy is perplexed that a player who is not a regular starter for Australia should be valued so highly on the transfer market, with the club unwilling to sanction a bid of more than $1 million."

What an amazing coincidence, all that interest before the China-Aussie game, then once it's played all of a sudden they're not interested anymore...

Nathaniel Hallemariam is class. Remember seeing him for the first time for Hawkes Bay Utd vs Phoenix Reserves in the ASB Challenge a few seasons back. Would love to see him get some first team action before the end of the season.

Don't you think they would have been targetting Cahill before the match if that was the case?

There's still no word/direct quote from the club itself is there?
