Hopefully the've got him for more than a year, he obviously is class, hell he's got an international cap for Brazil and he's still in his 20's.

you seem to forget that brazil hands out international caps like the labour government hands out golden handshakes ;)
 
Still getting a cap for Brazil is very good on a resume....I wouldn't mind going around saying I played for Brazil..There is nothing shameful about that.

The weather obviously, Windless Wellington, the city of sun.
 
Money i'd guess, another question if he is so good why the A league? Is he getting over a serious injury?


He only started 10 games last season, and came off the bench 6 times.

Looks like a good signing... from the little bits i saw on youtube i'd say he has a better strike than fred, and definitely has a lot of defensive skill, i'd say fred was better on the ball than him though.

Looks to be a decent player to build a team around though, i'll be interested to see where Herbert slots him in, whether he'll play him as a left winger or more central as a link between defence and attack.  Looks a good versatile player.

Now wellington really needs to focus on signing some striking talent

Looks like a great signing, I hope he actually does well. Now I just have to figure out how to A. get a jersey of Wellington in the USA and B. Watch the A-League in the USA.

Yeah, it said they would be strikers...Don't see how coveny could fit in at all...and top be honest I don't think it would be a great loss or maybe he will be a bench player.

Yes - it's Daniel in the You tube link. I am his brother. I can tell you that he's very excited about playing in the league for Phoenix. Just would like to add that the background of his life shown in Wekipedia is not correct but he can talk more about it when he gets there. Go Nix!

Old one foot ?

Good luck with that...

How longs his contract for?

 
2 years.  You boys not making the same mistake Victory made with Fred because I promise you, at the end of the first year there will be a lot of interest in him.  He's fantastic.
 
If you get Campos as well you will be laughing.

But if the phoenix do sign him..He can be the scapegoat..When ever The Nix lose we can blame it on Brockie...Melborune beat us Blame it on broackie...We score no goals blame it on brockie..and so on.

 
 
I leveled up..Do I get a prize?

Brockie would be a good impact player, maybe give him a trial in pre season and see how he goes

no way he does not have neskill. He is a typical kiwi rugged player. We want players who have skill. Just like Melbourne Victory. Ferrante and Lia are the kind of players we need. I still believe we need a centre back who can dominate. Not Danny Hay. Tambouras. The more greeks the better!!

During his time at auckland he showed enough to be worth a punt at the Nix. The question would be how much he should be paid rather than whether we should have him or not.

I still say Bunce should be signed - no harm in Tambo either - he's quality.
