Brindell-South
2015/16 Transfer Speculation
So can we get a list of every player that has actually left the team?
Burns
Boyd
Brockie & Grffiths
Boxall
Who have I missed?
Cunningham
...maybe more?
hicks
That's the problem we now have - we are barrel scraping for a CB.
Is Eager the new Clapham? I guess you can say yes if you are being objective. The thing with Clapham though was that he talked loudly about looking for a pro gig and has not got one where as Eager has not. There was a story that the Phoenix wanted to trial him but he didn't want to get his ass to Wellington. He expected to be signed from Christchurch while he was hosted What Now and not go through the effort of trialing. Not sure if thats true but that seemed to be the story at the time.
The story about not getting back to wellington is complete untrue..

In: Powell, Sarpong
Does Ernie hate the letter B?

You have to admit though, that was the strong story at the time that this was the case.

Boyd, Brockie, Burns, Brindell-South, Boxall
Bert gets jealous
Next year is C
Next year is C
Is that why I have never seen Ernie and Stephen Fry in the same room?
Eager is worth a look. Really composed on the ball...suits Ernies style... I think we had the Eager debate at exactly this time last year (a time when we had boxall and Loius was not marked Fragile)

Boyd, Brockie, Burns, Brindell-South, Boxall
Has anyone mentioned Rukavytsya yet?
He would fit Ernie's idea of a fast striker.
Quote from Andrew Durante this morning - "Once we get Jeffrey [Sarpong] in there and, from what I understand Ernie [coach Ernie Merrick] might be looking at another front man, which would be great. If that comes off, then the rest of the squad is very similar to last year."
So when are we going to sign some youth kiwis like Blake, Dimairo, Gulley, Rogerson?

Once Wellington United finish their Central League playoffs
Besides, the kids are training and playing for free. Let them keep fighting it out to see who comes out on top. There seems to be about 6-7 names in Blake, DiMairo, Rogerson, Gulley, McGarry, Singh and Cahill-Fluery
Cahill-Fluery is promising, very talented, but nowhere near ready, yet, IMO. For a start he's nowhere near fully physically developed. Which is not surprising given his age...
The ones I have seen play from that 7 listed are Blake, Gulley and DiMairo. Have not seen the other 4. I think DiMairo is a certainty for me based on what I saw last summer, the write ups on here from this preseason and we are light on FBs and Fenton is injured. Blake was around last preseason and had a decent U20s when he played. He is a right half/winger not a defender and Gulley has been around for a bit.
Joel Stephens as well.
Ffs do I need to implement a Stephens autocorrect as well as a DiMario one?
Joel shows purpose. But we need to do something in the heart of D.
We had a better season last year but still shipped in a lot of goals. Experience is great, but we need pace to stop what we see happening / coming and I don't know if Siggy and Durante have that.
Perhaps we are going for the Rufer theory, its ok if oyu conceed 3 so long as you score 4?

How is Chris Woods going at the moment? Will Ryan Nelson ever return to the game?

3rd equal best on goals conceded and 4th on goal difference. Those final 5 games were really shark, conceded 10 and scored only 4.

As discussed in the newly released episode of #PhoenixCity Chris Woods is on fire, with a run of goals for Leeds including this one to win the game for Leeds... see the Chris Woods thread in the Kiwis Overseas Board.
woosh
Here's a website with a list of Australian footballers playing overseas that can be speculated about. If we're looking for a defender then maybe he will come from this list?

A-League commentator auto correct:
Bonevacia = Ifill
Krishna = Ifill
Sarpong = Ifill
Appiah = Ifill
Yeah but is it DiMario as in Super Mario or Di Mairo as I keep hearing people say..
DimaIRo. I don't think the M is capitalised either.
Let's sign Dimairo and a couple of Man United's center backs, cause they surely don't want them anymore.
Kapiti Coast District, New Zealand
Yeah @ardrigh @WgtnPhoenixFC but I am going off the back of his shirt...
JV, his shirt says Dimairo, and I reckon that's unlikely to be wrong.
But wait... from the match thread:
So just who have we got?
Can we call him Clapham-Boxall and put an end to all the arguments?
Already been admitted that the Dimario spelling in the programme and on the team sheet is an error.

You mean like John Pantsil?
There's a fulla in our team called Lotto

Guest stint!
Guy has played just about every position for Dortmund, even GK. Could find a spot for him, FB, upfront. Wherever.
I am just concerned about defensive depth.
If something happened to Siggy & Dura at the same time we are in trouble.
