Full squad

Full squad

I can't see an easy way to view the full squad for the Phoenix. Can someone please put together one page that can be accessed from the home page with squad members. Doesn't have to contain much ... shirt number and a tiny profile would do nicely.

Good call.  It should be on the club site but they don't seem to have created it yet.

We'll add it to the to do list.

they were named in our newsletter yesterday

is there only 4 defender there?

Plus the other import spot Frankie.

I'd sign Boxall as an U-20.

Courtesy of me...

I'll do Wellington a bit differently as they are a new side. At present all squad numbers are assumed, each player will be listed followed by their previous club

Wellington Phoenix

SQUAD:
#1) Mark Paston (NZ Knights) (GK)
#2)
#3) Tony Lochhead (New England Revolution)
#4) Karl Dodd (Falkirk)
#5) Steven Old (Newcastle Jets)
#6) Ross Aloisi (Adelaide United)
#7) Michael Ferrante (Melbourne Victory)
#8) Richard Johnson (NZ Knights)
#9) Vaughan Coveny (Newcastle Jets)
#10) Felipe de Souza Campos (Hajduk Split)
#11) Daniel Lins Cortes (Guarani)
#12) Tim Brown (Newcastle Jets)
#13)
#14) Vince Lia (Melbourne Victory)
#15) Steven O'Dor (Sth Melbourne)
#16) Jeremy Christie (Perth Glory)
#17) Shane Smeltz (Halifax)
#18) Costa Barbarouses (Team Wellington)
#19) Royce Brownlie (Swindon Town)
#20) Glen Moss (Dinamo Bucharest) (GK)
#21) George Dos Santos Paladini (???)
#22)
#23)

So 4 spots left - 2 will be under 20's and one will have to be a 3rd keeper

Or one of the Under-20's is a 3rd keeper...

Say we need a right back/right sided central defender who can play in a three man defence - what about John Perry? He's experienced at this level, he's a kiwi and he's already in the country.

Cleberson, Boxall, Keane, RB.

...or we change our plans and name O'Dor as an Under-20.

JP has retired from "all" football.

Reckon that makes my 'Perry' genuine Kingz playing strip worth more ?

Thought not.

Gee looking at the squad i really thought some more knights players would have survived after the way Ricky had them going last year.  Oh well onwards and upwards.

A Kingz shirt made with gold thread and diamonds on the badge is still worthless :-) Toffeeman2007-06-27 11:09:58

dazzla, most of the knights players worth keeping signed elsewhere pretty quickly. im sure they would have liked to keep a few of them.

I guess a lot of it would have come down to job security. Y would u stay at a club or stick around knowing its going under?

Yea it was all up in the air there for a bit! Would have liked to see Neil Emblen stay with the club, he was quality and could play anywhere on the park!

My starting lineup picks at this stage (does not include FULL SQUAD, only 16 players)

sounds like Cleberson is a centre back

Hmm . . .  . .  then switch Clerberson and Dodd I guess. some folks mentioned on another thread he could play there. . . .

a recent release from the club stated he was a centre back

Sorry Feverish, "he" in your post refers to whichi player, Cleberson or Dodd?

Cleberson...

OK that's what I thought. I was referrring to Dodd being capable of playing on the right, not Cleberson. Should've made that clearer in my post. i.e. swap Dodd and Cleberson over

Cleberson is a center back. He played at Cabofriense in Brazil, he has also played at Al-Wahda in Saudi Arabia. 29 years old, 182 cm tall and 82kg heavy. Can also take corners. An excellent signing from Ricki. Now just give the team sometime to gel.

Maybe the Phoenix should sign Brent Fisher he has overseas experience, im not a kiwi and i dont live in NZ so i dont know how good he is but he has 4 goals in 9 appearences.
