Charlie Smith (former Zephyr Rover) met John Aldridge recently inhis pub in Liverpool- maybe he's in our price range lmao. Then again he had a coffee with David Seaman - maybe he'd be a better option.

Realisticaly - we'll get a marquee player we've never heard of.

I'd have to say though - Fowler isn't a bad suggestion.

How about Ronaldinho???
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Anyone think Alesandro might add value to Phoenix?  I here Melbourne Victory may not have a place for him ...
football tragic for too long

How about his Mum?

I hope you find a good marquee player who will do good for your squad.

Maybe you could get Trevor Sinclair (if he is finished in England). Kevin Phillips would be a goal scoring machine or Tony Lochead (I think hat is how it is spelt) well not as marquee but a local who may return home and play within the cap.

Maybe we should go for that New Zealander who scored five in the final - Archie someone . . . .

Tintin: How about Ronaldinho??

Zephyr: How about his mum?
 
Hey yeah Zephyr, now that you mention it, Ronaldinho's mum might fit right in with the quality of your starting line up. I'm sure she'll bring real value both on and off the pitch.
 
The only problem would be convincing the FFA to let a woman play in the A-League, but I'm sure they won't mind making yet another concession for the Wellington Franchise.
 
Actually, are you sure you'd be able to afford her?

I thought you said good, not perpetually injured and grossly over-rated ?

Hilarious, next you'll be telling me Lucas Neil should be playing for Barcelona...

^^ Couldnt agree more HArd News.

Nothing more pisses me off that an overrated pufter eating up the salary budget.

I reckon they should bring back Dennis Ibrahim...
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Last I heard Dennis had packed in playing and was living somewhere in Portugal.  The man who would know where he is is Wynton, but would he tell the Phoenix ? 

Pretty sure he wouldn't require marquee $$ anyway.

With Peter Crouch scoring AGAIN today - he has to be seriously considered for the Phoenix

In the A-league last season one of the Knights main problems was scoring goals. I think they need 2 get a striker as their marquee player. It would be brilliant if the Phoenix could get Patrick Kluivert from PSV Eindhoven or Nuno Gomes from Benfica.

Since when do we have 5 million to splash around on a striker from two of the top clubs in Portugal and Holland? DannyPHOENIX2007-04-13 16:14:15

Agree with Danny - ridiculous  targets

U guys need someone like Milton Rodriguez who scores goals, brings others into play as well as a crowd pleaser.

Which is why Ricki was apparently scouting in South America.

almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Good if he is.
 
Where do people that arn't born in NZ come from?
eg. if it's say Greece sign a good Greek player that will win over the Greek fans.

For example the Gold Coast has a lot of Asians living in the city.
 
If a A-League team was based there. They would sign a good asian player to appeal to the Asian community, to attract more cultures to the games.
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Yes i know what you mean. Queensland have there fair share of Asians. You got Hyuk su Seo, Yuning Zhang, A korean assistant, Massimo Murdocca (the size of one) even the coach Frank Farina.

Yeah i didn't want to say it in a racist way.
 
What sort of nationalities are in Wellington mostly.

They might not be worth $5million. Patrick Kluivert was hardcore when he was with AC Milan and Barcelona but he has had quite a few injuries lately and as far as im aware he doesnt play a heap of games 4 psv (although I could b wrong on that). If Sydney could get dwight yorke I don't think it's unrealistic 4 us 2 get Kluivert if we get decent sponsors. But I have to agree, Gomes is out of reach.

Most the  asians  are in Auckland
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
I would like them to get a player on loan if its a struggling youngster or old guy if they have the ability to be the best player in the team easily then he would be a good signing.
