Archie Thompson Signing?
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
I have heard through the grapevine that Archie Thompson from Melbourne Victory is poised to sign a massive deal with Wellington Phoenix This weekend???
 
Has Melbourne not signed him yet? I hope this is true, has anyone got any news on this?

That's a big rumour indeed. . . I wait with bated breath

Yay, the Gheyest celebration in world football comes to the Cake tin... without Fred or Danny, he ain't got much.

Doesn't look like he has resigned yet according to the A League site..
 
Melbourne Victory

Re-signed: Grant Brebner, Steve Pantelidis, Leigh Broxham, Rod Vargas, Michael Theoklitos
 
Massive call though
 
Anyway, how come no one has mentioned how 'oarsome' my avatar looks?

I suspect the re-signings are only players that were off contract and I'm pretty sure (like about 95%) that Archie isn't off contract.  Certainly those listed were.

You got a larger version of the picture Feverish ?

I want to post it on a couple of Aus forums.

is there any truth to this? where did you hear this from?

Please! God no! He's rubbish, would be better off with Super Danny Allsopp
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
He has two more years left on his contract with victory.
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
HIGHLY doubted but still HIGHLY in anticipation.

Thompson wishing he was a kiwi. He should of played for the all whites when he had a chance.
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
He's not even out of his contract over here. Why would you move from a title winning side after having the best year of your career?
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
More chance of signing George Best. And Best would probably have more impact as he is now.
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Why even bother posting this, as why would he leave the Champions to join a very high risk outside team like the Phoenix.
Don't get me wrong I will support the Phoenix through thick and thin but NZ's track record so far is poor so cannot see a signing like this happening until we get consistent results on the board.

Hahahah your joking right?
you have a higher chance of signing cristiano ronaldo, arch will never leave melburn hes cleaning up here hes GF goal bonus would have been more than a wellington players season long salary. Another point he has 2 years left on hes Victory deal...
 
 
Sheep i think everyone should own one!

I'd like to say this more eloquently than my fellow countryman above. But I can't think of any way to put this other than, GET YOUR COLLECTIVE HAND OFF IT.

It's nice to dream

Yeah I would love Allsopp, hes fantastic, but Archie is his stupid sidekick with a clown face and a crap celebration. No thankyou

Can you Melbourne fans read?! f**king hell... you all come on here saying the same things like a broken record thinking you know best, but in truth your a bunch of bandwagoners. A number of people have said IN THIS THREAD that we're not interested because he aint that great, yet you still post 'you wish'

Much like Barney Rubble without Fred he's nothing.

he's been accidentally the best player in the a league for two seasons.  banging in goals, skinning defenders, deciding games all by total fluke.  i'd sign vlahos before archie any day

Archie Thompson scored 15 goals last year from 22 games and scored 8 goals in 15 games in the first season. Maybe you dont want him but i bet the pheonix would give an arm and a leg to have him.
If you honestly think aloisi is worth signing and thompson isnt then your a f**cking idiot.

American Samoa ?

Sean Devine could have scored a dozen against that side.

You're f**king having a laugh aren't you?

First season equal first in golden boot. Second season second in golden boot and first after finals. Scored more A-League goals than any other player. Part of Australias world cup squad. Leading goalscorer at Lierse in 2004-05. And he'll be at Victory for 2 more years so yeah, you do wish.

It was a game against American Samoa . . .  See Wikipedia Page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_Thompson
 
Doesn't really prove anything. . . .  They migth as well have been playing the Upper Hutt under 9 team.

True, I used to play for them. They were a class outfit then, probably still are.

Thompson will not come, dont know why speculation surrounding him really. Hes got going to leave a winning side to come to the Pheonix!

Big Money talks, depends how much the Nix want to pay him...

I certainly hope we can nab him, that would be a great buy!
