What chance of nicking him from under Sydney's Nose's?
 
Seems a bit disillusioned with SFC's Offer.

Not a bad thought.   Though, he's focused on Sydney, not sure about his motivation.  If we can sort out his motivation then great, he's a decent playmaker.

Always thought or read somewhere he wanted to join up originally with Ross at Adelaide?

No he's overrated, decent player but not good enough to offer him huge wages. I'm not really a fan of marquee players I don't think it helps team moral to have one player earning far more than the rest of his team mates, when it reality he does not contribute much more than them.

O theres no doubt if we had the funds and enough to make him come here we would make that signing, but can we????
 
Nope, sydney's looking like the place e wants to go but if internal affairs keep stalling his move well then, we might just.

Yeah your right Marquee signings don't work?? Try Dwight Yorke V1 and Archie Thompson V2.

He was desperate to play this season with Ross at Adelaide and made mention of this in various interviews, so it would not be in possible if we had room under the salary cap to put in a cheeky offer and try and tempt him here.
But with him turning down the Roar I cannot imagine he would take a risk into the unknown with the Phoenix.

I asked Ricki about this when I interviewed him way back when.  He said there had been no conversations at all, and that he wasn't on the radar at all... I'd be surprised if that had changed.
 
I personally think he'd be a wonderful player for the A-League, he's got a bit of personality and no doubt he'll score goals.  Sydney are playing a dangerous game, once you get the penny pinching rep. then people won't be willing to get into negotiations...

Normo's coming home
