there is a very strong rumour going around that the phoenix
are only goin 2 sign christie if perth allow bertos 2 come as
well,,,,
this is putting a heap of pressure on ron smith because
christie is taking up a foreigner spot which is so decisive in this
league,,,,and as we all know christie isn't making much impact in
this league, is he?????????????
whats ur guys views on this,,,,,,,,,,,
Good move really, Christie is OK as a squadie to bring on to hold a
lead, and Bertos has all the goods
That's a genius idea. Is it just a rumour or does it have some
credit to it?
Its quite funny as Plodder reads this site.
Realistic, on the Perth site the coach said it looked like he was
going to lose both players, hopefully to us.
New Zealanders are shifty. Good Fkn idea tho!
I have deleted some posts on this thread. If you want to
criticise players thats fine, but no personal abuse.

Normo's coming home
ok then, christie - i dont think you would get any game time if you
came to the phoenix. Ur creativity level is not up to standard and
your style of play is either all jockying OR all tackling
which makes you a liability to let the team down and your pace on
the ball is extremely slow.
much like danny hay you are living off your hype from 6 years
ago. id rather soupy campbell and thats saying something. actually
id rather lammers than you!
Jeremy - get something to be angry about. Then you'll be a white
Jonas Salley in no time, crunch em mate
Christie would be a good addition...to the bench.
Yeah, Christie will be good bench
player, Once the got run on squad is
settled. Phoenix need to think about players that will
be able to come on late in the game to attack full
throtle or kill all attack and hold the ball. Nestling2007-05-07

Costa i see as being the 75min man. Bring him on fresh while
defenders are tired and watch him carve up.
the bench that the phoenix will have will probably be one of the
best in the a league they wont be the winners for a year or
so but some of the other a league teams have one good team and all
the other players are rubbish the phoenix look to have more of a
consistant quality and depth among the players that theyve got and
will have.
Na i disagree how can u say we will have the best bench. The likes of Old in the squad is sh*t, however him on the bench is a discrace. I rather Norm Hewitt running around on the pitch. Thank god hickey didnt re sign caz hes terrible. We have had a fresh start in the sense of introducing this wellington side and hopefully we dont re sign many knights players. Please no old english players like last season with yeo and crap. Id much prefer the likes of Australians at the club.
For all his faults Christie is still an experienced A League player. He won't set the world alight but he can put himself about a bit, which is needed to dominate the midfield. He is a back up to Aloisi and he is a Kiwi.
His signing isn't key - the four imports are.I'm still a bit worried about the centre backs. For me they
are the key to any side as they form the base of the "Spine".
I'd still like to see Tambo signed.
With 2 brazilians signed there's only room for 2 more imports - so
I don't think you'll see a repeat of the Knights

Nz talent is scarce and we have to do with what we have. And if
that means brining in the Knights well then, sh*t happens.
