I like this comment from the herald story re smeltz.
"My wife Nikki knows how important this is to me and is giving me her full support."

Edit: Ha, great minds and all that
Exciting stuff. Pretty happy to hear he's coming back, hopefully it makes the difference.
Hahaha righto! Good for depth. Welcome back Smeltzy!

But how does he fit into our system unless he takes Watson's role... which would be a little unfair on him IMO.
Adds depth... and I guess outside of Rogerson we do not have a back up striker.
So coach to be announced today?

Can move Smeltz discussion to here since it isn't speculation https://www.yellowfever.co.nz/categories/wellingto...
Was it just me or did Watson look deceptively fast on Saturday? I thought he covered a lot of ground and is starting to look the part.
Lia is a better footballer, I'm certainly no Lia hater, but Tuiloma is a better DM.

You seen his old man? Built like Mike Tyson.

Did pretty well against the physicality of the Island teams as well.
Erik Paartalu has left his Qatar club, we were rumoured to be chasing him in pre-season. Wonder if we still have cap space left to try for him in January?
So is Roly going or staying and what are the chances of someone coming knocking for Krishan... having a great season within a struggling team.

What do we do with his spot? Another mid?
Might be better just to promote youngsters if we need them.

“FFA has determined to move to a 4 plus 1 structure for the 2018/19 season but will prudently review the implementation to consider all relevant factors and impacts at the end of the 17/18 season,’’ said Gallop.
"The new ruling means the A-league can still have five imports but one must come from within the confines of the AFC’s members federations."
So with Roly, Roy, Rod, Rossi and the Finkler we'd have to replace one of them with an AFC import.

Roly and A-Rod contract expire end of this season. Krishna, Rossi and Finkler end of 17/18. So at least one of them will be gone by then and will have to be replaced by an AFC import.
I wonder how far away Krishnas NZ citizenship is.
Also, the biggest wave of Indian migration to Fiji was in the 70s and 80s so he might be eligible for Indian citizenship by descent. Although India doesn't allow dual citizenship there is an exception if you got the second citizenship by birth rather than choice.

Personally I can't see Rossi or Finkler being around in that season anyway.

I'd say all of them will be gone by 17/18 except for Krishna, so we'll be ok.

And Rossi.

A Rod and Watson likely to be gone according to this, Bonevacia already well on the way...
Can't see how they think Fenton is more likely to get a contract than Watson...
link fixed.
