Still no sign of A-Rod

He was at Weka Park. He was at New Plymouth. At New Plymouth he said he was 2 weeks away.

I meant no sign of him playing yet.

I wonder if Ernie is thinking about converting him to a CB. Might need a bit of work on his tackling and aerial play but he reads tge game well and would definitely help us play out from the back.

Considering the glut of import midfielders we have and the struggle to get them all on the field in a formation that Ernie wants to use, then this is not a bad suggestion. I still think a 4-4-2 diamond is our best.

The only thing is can he play there and does he want to play there?

Apart from the fact I assume he has never played CB, isn't a great tackler and doesn't seem all too commanding the air - great idea! 

Would make more sense to put Roly back there as he has played there before; though that means taking away our biggest creative threat. Riera the other option of course.
