Dadi Joins Phoenix

Great photo Feverish, looks like his haircut isn't as bad as what i remember.

Manny and Dadi need to pull their socks up.

Can anyone confirm the signing has been made or is Dadi giving it a bit of look-see before agreeing terms?

OK - confirmed on website now: http://www.wellingtonphoenix.com/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=31750

I wonder who the next player to have a dispute with his club will be?

Looks like Eugene is an even bigger Facebook whore than cade though..
Things look grim

Yeah thats the 3rd signing weve made this season where someones quit/been released from their contract to come here

Not convinced,

There we go.. Off his facebook.

Let he had got his grammar down.  Although he needs more ?

I think he will prove to be a very good foil for Greenacre - remember Greenie prefers playing off another striker.

Phoenix also have, I think, the highest number of crosses into the box in the league - so having a striker of Dadi's size can only improve our chances of latching onto those balls.

Lets not say things we can't take back

hmm...... seems we sign everyone who is in dispute with their club...surely  Dadi isn the only option for a striker that we have..........................

Happy with that. Well done Tony and Ricki, and the big guy for putting up the cash for the rest of the season

We needed someone up front to cover any injuries and to push our claim for a top 6 finish, to make the playoffs, and the club acted quickly to get a known goal scorer at this level

Dadi has 10 goals in 22 matches, and that is something a few other strikers in the league would be happy with. I know that he hasnt got any for the Glory firsts this year, he has only started in 3 matches though, played in 6,, but has hit the target in the reserves.

We need to win 4 games to make sure of the finals, and from there anything can happen, I dont think we would fear any team if we get to that stage.

Good luck Dadi, help us get to the finals and you will be a Nix favourite


 

I've found that very strange, they've got a pretty good team on paper but just haven't really put back to back good performances this season.

Very exciting signing for the Nix, just what we need going into these last few games

My thought is that hes better than no one. And he ticks the boxes of kind of striker we're looking for,so am looking forward to it. Tegal2010-01-04 21:05:44

My parents are over from Scotchland tomorrrow so it appears that 2 Daddy's are arriving in Wellington on the same week!

greenie has been saying this is what he wants, maybe we will see the best of him as well ?

as someone said above certainly adds an option for using Iffy and/or greenacre off a player who can be expected to act as an effective target

Honestly think that this is a very good signing. I see some people complaining about lack of pace because of his age  - so what? That isn't what he is there for. All he needs to do is hold up the ball well and play in the likes of Leo, Caceres, Ifill and Greenie. That is what we have been missing. He doesn't even need to play well and score heaps of goals - we have other players to do that. Coupled with the fact it's just until the end of this season at this point and I think it's a terrific bit of business.

Expect to see 2 up top with Ifill and Leo/Caceres on the wings.

Well done Nix management, great signing!

The extra fire power up front should secure our spot in the play-offs ...

Anyone get a Phone-nix text? Me didnts
