We can turn any standard NOT a striker into another of our world-famous not-a-strikers, just like Nathan Burns and, and, err, Jeffrey Sarpong...
We sign nobody until August-September, that's when you can hire the leftovers find the hidden gems.
Never heard of these guys in any sense, let alone as a reliable source, but this would be interesting for us if it came true.

Ryan Devries to replace Powell?
His style of play suits our game and he will be cheap compared to what the market would charge.
fudge me, powell gone too cos of personal reasons, need a good scoring striker along with a central defender.

It would make for an interesting front three of Krishna and Kosta wide with bulut up the guts.
We need someone like Kelly, then we could have the KKK front line!

This means we could finally say "pointy end of the attack" with impunity.
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

The perfect signing would be Te Atawhai Hudson-Whiongi. Since riera left when badly need a defensive mid. Te Atawhai would be cheap and would not take up an oversea spot. He did well in the OFC nations cup and the OFC champions league.
Even with Riera gone DM is still probably the position where our squad is least in need of cover. A-Rod and Lia are obviously the main options, with Roly, Ridenton, and Rufer (if he's re-signed, which I think he will be) all options as well. Compare to CB, where we have Dura and Fox and no one else.
Not saying that TAHW isn't decent but I don't think we badly need a defensive mid. Centre back, fullback, and striker are all positions where we need more cover at the moment.

Recommended transfers:
ST: hal robson-kanu. He played at the euros and scored 2 goals and was one of wales outstanding performed but was released by Reading last season, he would tear the A league up.
RB: Adrian Mariappa. BPL quality and was released last season by Crystal Palace would be another quality free signing.
CB: Martín Caceres. Last played for Juventus but the was released yet again another quality free signing.
The link below shows all the free agents following the upcoming season.
Wihongi can cover CB too. Did well in his NZ start.
Happy for him and De Vries to both be signed and given a chance.
Also, been cheap it allows for money to be spent elsewhere.
Te Atawhai Hudson-Whiongi and Ryan De Vries would a cheap double signing

De Vries yes; but which midfielder would you drop for TAHW? We need specialist defenders - not more convertibles.
Kotahitanga. We are one.
Currently the phoinex have 4 1st team defenders. Fenton, Durante, Fox and Doyle. The phoinex will CB and a back up full back.
TAHW at cdm, roly and winkler in the 2 cm roles
You'd have to drop a midfielder to fit him in. Who would you drop?

Vince Lia because he is getting on now and it would be great to give the young a chance

Sure, but not going to happen. Would have thought at 21, Hudson Wihongi would do better looking at lower leagues in England or Scotland than Wellington tbh.

Fenton's been playing up front during the pre-season I thought, so might no longer be a defender except in a pinch.

McGlinchey played left wing for the whole of last season, Lia is getting old and it would be great to get a young guy in because the phoenix have a lot of older players. Rodriguez isn't even the beast of players and is not a CDM.
