Doyle has announced he’s left the Phoenix on his insta.
Doyle made a lot of mistakes, but I did think he was quite useful covering both CB and LB. I'm always sad when kiwis leave the club

I really liked Doyle and thought he could of done well here. Don't really understand getting rid of him.
Good pick up
Howazatt....Sherbert, gotta be a chant there.
An interesting thing with Cameron Devlin is that Sydney FC did actually offer him a new deal, but only after Ufuk Talay came calling. https://t.co/DBCsROs6uA

Surely this is the thread for Devlin? Man was confused for a moment- signed to keep Martin interested?
Seems a decent player from Sydney reckons.
Sounds like a good signing and one with a bright future. Great to see ufuk using his inner knowledge of Sydney fc to great effect ?

Learned from his mate Rudan
I think if he keeps motivated he could be one of the best A-League players this season. A strong VISA striker to support him would be great.
Clearly, he has a lot of potential... if he can meet that will go along way to determining our season. One thing he has that not many players in the comp do, is the ability to play off both feet.
A good signing and nice sign of the calibre we are trying to get.

mate it’s a decent option if it works for both parties - would have liked to have loaned Cam but Wellington wanted a permanent deal so didn’t work for us both.

Uli; "I heard very good things that it's a very good place to live, a good quality of life and nice people, nice weather. So that's why I talked with my wife and said we have to go and have this new experience and new challenge," Davila said.
Uh oh, did anyone tell this guy we're not in Australia?

Sounds like someone told him a porky there.
The weather will blow him away.
Well to be fair Wellington does have some good weather. Just not very often.
I actually think the weather in Wellington's about right--never gets too hot, never gets too cold. You should try living in Moscow, it can approach 40 degrees in summer and -40 in winter. A lot of continental cities are like that, New York for example.

The biggest problem with Wellington is the wind. It makes winters lot more miserable than they would otherwise be, and summers much more difficult to enjoy. But other than that, yeah, there are places in the world where the weather is a lot, lot more brutal.
However, for someone who's spent the majority of his life in Mexico and Spain/Portugal, Wellington weather is unlikely to be very enjoyable.
I recon the wind problem is overstated.

Well, Wellington is quite commonly identified as the windiest city in the world, it's not just an urban myth around these parts.
But, meh.

Look, you can love Wellington and enjoy living there without denying that the air moves at quite a velocity on a regular basis.
Next you'll be saying that the hilliness is overstated.

I know that, but it doesn't mean it's a big issue.

Agree; I do not miss the wind. Wind makes everything shark; even a nice day.
Weather is not an issue in isolation.
Lifestyle preferences and cultural background can be far more important than just that Welly is windy.
So we now have 13 players on the books excluding Waine right? Add another 3 imports and thats 16, plus TAHW, Tim Payne, Mo Awad and Myer Bevan who are on trial, assume we sign all of them that would get us to the minimum squad size of 20. 11 of those would be Kiwis, most of them under 25. Uffie is doing bits for NZ football already

Lifestyle in poor weather can make a difference and cultural background could mean anything.
For all the talk of the weather, I'm guessing coming from Mexico he'd be a bit more 'comfortable' with the odd earthquake. Just a thought anyway.
Still, good calibre signing. Hopefully gets into his work during pre season and gives us some decent performances on the pitch.

Personally, I found areas of Nelson more hilly. But the weather really hadn't been as bad as I was lead to believe. Auckland appears to have way worse weather
Wellington weather aside.
Interesting to hear Talay comment that Davilis is aware he will be part of a young team and that he needs to be a leader in that team and help the young players develop.

I'm probably (almost definitely) in the minority, but I really enjoy the wind. When I'm overseas/in other parts of NZ, I find the weather too 'stagnant' and don't really like it. Anyway, I'm slightly drunk right now & very strange (always).
Am really enjoying the way this team is coming together though. For the first time in about 5 years I really feel like there is a future for the nix and am happy they are building via youth.

I can't wait til we sign another import and have another discussion about how shark Wellington's weather is (or isn't)... what version are we up to? v37?
