He scored the equaliser for Shenhua this weekend (Shenhua then went on to win in stoppage time).

Well, yeah; he's much better than Brown ever was - but they are similar players in terms of where they usually fit into teams.

They are both named Tim.

Wasn't there a German youth guy playing in reserve side a year or two ago who was looking close to stepping up to first team?

Shame - I always rated Tobias and I thought he could have acquired citizenship fairly quickly since he had been here for quite a few years since he was young.

No doubt he'll be recruited to play for the AWs.

Merrick spoke highly of him, he was even talking about signing him during his first season. Guessing visa issues might have hurt his chances?

I meant that if he wasn't an import and he continued to play well at ASB prem level he might have been a good signing for the Nix.

We could hardly do worse than the likes of Riddenton and Rufer anyway..

EDIT: That's a bit harsh on the youngsters, but still I would have liked to see how it might have panned out for Bertsch had he stayed in NZ a bit longer and bulked up a bit.

Holland, Halloran, Bozanic all avalaible. None are out and out strikers, but Bozanic/Halloran could be potential Burns replacements if it coomes to that.

Apparently the only reason he left is due to the distance he has to travel to play for Austria.

Saw a picture of Powell kitted up in Nix gear in Fiji.

Never really fancied him at Sydney, looked pretty stock standard. Sounds like he's come on a bit though.

"When the stars make you drool, like a pasta fazoo... that's Zamora..." Always thought he looked rather like that fine young cannibal, Roland Gift. Coromandel goat-shooter.

Just to kick things off again...now that pre-season has started, does this mean Ernie won't return to Europe to scout players and will do that from his office instead?

Yeah I don't have a problem with that - just curious because news on the transfer front have been hard to come by these days......
