According to Wiki the Jets Marquee player Jardel is still unable to play, which is good. Anyhow we are without a Marque player ourselves so who would be your top 3 Marquee players for the Phoenix? Here are mine:
1) Charles Bronson - Great in movies like Death Wish and Death
Wish 2, as well as classics like The Mechanic and The Street
Fighter, (Hard Times in the States), Always a man of few
words and fewer expressions with his moustache he could of happily
lined up in a midfield with the likes of Souness and
Mcdermott. Strong and menacing you know he would provide good cover
for the back four although admittedly did look alittle suspect
in the tunnels in the Great Escape. If he wasn't dead he could
bring alot to the Phoenix side.
2) Chewbacca the Wookie - Outstanding in the 1nil win of
Alliance Academical against Sporting Death Star FC where he came on
to devastating effect with teammate and fellow supersub H
Solo. This performance put paid to fans and the media calling
him and Solo "Mercenary" when it looked likely they were going to
leave Alliance before the final match against fierce rivals
Death Star.
Noted for his size, power and aerial presence in the box,
Chewbacca is often likened to Big Dunc Ferguson in his ability
to hold up the ball. However many realised that his
time in the top leagues were numbered when the return match
against Death Star at the neutral Bespin Park,(home of Cloud City
Rangers), saw Bacca failing to have any impact
after Strike Partner Solo was Stretchered off in a
devastating injury that kept Solo out of the game for months.
Scenes of Bacca crying reminded many of
Gascoigne against West Germany in 1990.
Bacca would be a top crowd puller,he has his own song:
Chewbacca!
(Raaar, etc)
Chewie!
(Raaar, etc)
Chewbacca!
(Raaar, etc)
Chewie!
(Raaar, etc)
Chewie, is that you?
(Raaaring continues)
oooOOOOHWHAT A WOOKIE!,
(Raaar, etc)
Chewie!
(Raaar, etc)
Chewbacca!
(Raaar, etc)
Chewie!
(Raaar, etc)
Chewie, is that you?
(Raaaring continues)
oooOOOOHWHAT A WOOKIE!,
(growling)
And could likely draw others top professionals Kenobi,
Fett, Yoda and Robbie Savage, (he plays at Ewok Park after
all!)
3) Ronaldinho - Erm can play a bit of footy that lad.

Nah he's too famous. I reckon to have a good Marquee rating you've got to have that "Didn't he used to play for....?" factor. Someone who is not instantly recognisible but we a few mates you can work him out after a pint or 2. Someone like Luck Chadwick or Jason Euell or someone mad like Tomas Repka.
Mind you sod that whats Ole Gunner up to at the mo?

I take it you didn't see the game in Civic Square on Friday
I am nearly the size of a marquee these days
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Matt Jansen, Thomaz Frankowski used to play Poland and is 33. Paul
Dickov players like that who could get there careers back on track
here.

Please let's not start another thread where people list the names
of every european footballer over the age of 33. Please!
On fourtean's track though, although we're well covered
between the sticks Sly Stallone showed he had the talent in
Escape to Victory, he'd just have to knock the roids on
the head before he came here.

Like I've suggested copious times over varius threads, get Nuno
Gomes or Patrick Kluivert. Someone said that Terry Serepisos is
worth over $100 million so I'm sure he could afford it.

4 Foreign players:
1 Daniel + 1 Felipe + 1 Cleberson + 1 George = 4.
Not tricky is it ?

Although I still reckon Frankie Mac would be a more imposing presence on the pitch

The last 'marquee' player an NZ A-league team signed was sean
devine. He was as quck as a tortoise with a touch like ferrante and
the finishing qualties of an iranian donkey. Lets just stick
with footballers

Devine was not a marquee player. The Knights never used a
Marquee player.

Maybe they hired Devine to put up a marguee, would have been more
interesting to watch that than what he did on the field.
And yes I know he wasnt a marguee player, though he would
qualify for that role in Capital 13, just.
A dog with a bone :)

So from i gather here if we did sign a Marquee player he would
have to be an Aussie or a Kiwi, none of the other A-League clubs
wanted him, isn't good enough to be playing in Europe or MLS, and
is currently not playing football anywhere that is paying him
money.

and why pay a ridiculous amount of money for a marquee player that
might only play a few games and will not be here next season over
young good kiwi players that actually might have a future in
football that won't command ridiculous amounts of money to play

Worst case, if one of the imports got homesick and ran home (or was
rubbish and dumped)we'd still have the wage bill against the cap,
so the marquee spot could be used for another import.
However there are some strict rules on what counts as a marquee. None of the current Brazilians we have would meet those rules.

nowhere does it state (that i know of) there is a minimum wage for
a marquee signing...ie: a current member of the squad could earn
more than said marquee, but the marquees pay isnt counted by the
cap.

I don't think Devine was a marquee, he was let go by Exeter as
he was costing the non-league club too much $$$$.
Anyway whilst his legs were gone, don't discredit him too
much, a striker can't score if the midfield and defence cannot get
the ball to him.
With the amount of possession the Nix have he would already
have a couple this season.
