doesn't make sense. Isn't this the guy who turned down a championship team as it may impact on his ability to do his time and secure permanent residence (which happens two years after residence)

SteveO, how did you hack into AP's account?

not being negative, I just have a good memory and know my football, check the history or Google you negative pricks
derby county was the team
I was going on that time frame as well until the Hampster tweet in which he asked Roy himself about it.
Roly and Jeff - sounds like a kids' TV show with puppets

So on the official Nix app, there is a menu. On the menu there is a Squad list. Are these our 21 contracted players?
Kotahitanga. We are one.
Add Sarpong and that makes 22. But are they all contracted?
Kotahitanga. We are one.
No Jeff? The list of defenders is terrifying.

Interesting the lack of middle names

They are probably deciding if they really are going to call him a striker
Our squad has all the hall marks of the owners saying "we've spent a lot on developing our own players so time to start including some of them" rather than looking at including only those who are good enough. Really unconvinced by our team
Normo's coming home

if we get Tam and then splash out for a decent, proven FB and CB, I'd be happy, but not sure how likely that is.

It just feels weaker given we've lost Burns and our old guys are another year older.

This is kind of how Welnix have said the Phoenix will go about their business, develop talent, promote youth, and keep costs down (and exploit the fact that we have a monopoly for professional football in NZ by signing the best players and selling them at a profit, which of course will be used to help fund the club).
My guess is that from now on we will see more of this sort of stuff, young team, with a few key seasoned pros, and a handful of overseas quality, sigining 17 year olds to pro contracts, etc.
The future of the club kind of relies on this sort of team working.
I hope we sign a good CB to one of the final slots though.

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.
Does Joel Stevens have a contract? I am hearing mixed things in the south

Our younger guys are also a year older/more developed. Think Roly and A-Rod in particular.
so I thought you had to have 1-23. How does Rogers son get 24?
Grumpy old bastard alert

Sarpong still trying to get fit. Hmmm
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
Sarpong still trying to get match fit. Hmmm
Fixed.
I've seen him. He's fit, no doubt about that mat.
That's not what Ernie said he said he still had some work to do to get to the level of the others.
That is unless your looking at through pink glasses.Lol
isn't that understandable being as he has had much less preseason than everyone else?

Hard to get match fit when you're riding an exercise bike in the gym and other players are playing matches I reckon.

As already said Ernie isn't saying that he's not fit, it's just that his fitness isn't at the right level. He doesn't want to play Sarpong in a friendly and have him tear something.

So...he's not fit? :D
Depends on your definition of fit. For me, 'not being fit' beings 'not being fit enough to play a proper game', which he isnt'.
