GET YOUR SHIRTS OFF FOR THE BOYS
Just spotted this on the stuff website.
The Wellington Phoenix are confident of securing an Australian centre back by the middle of next week and have already been in discussions with several players.
The club has two roster spots available after Brazilians Cleberson and George were cut on Wednesday, but salary cap constraints mean it is only likely to fill one.
"We will be moving quickly, we're hoping by the middle of next week we can announce a new signing," Phoenix chief executive Tony Pignata said yesterday.
"We're just going through the process now and talking with their agents.
"At this stage we just want to go with the one and see how we sit. We've still got the whole of November and we've got to look at the whole salary cap issue."
Pignata confirmed that All White Ben Sigmund was ineligible because he had already played for two clubs since July 1.
"We did look at Ben and see whether he could play, unfortunately he can't, but there are a couple of other players we are looking at within Australia at the moment who can come in and come in quickly," Pignata said.
"It's a chance for someone to come in, get a taste of A-League, and if he does well get a contract next year. That's the opportunity we'll be giving someone, and whoever we get will be able to slot straight in."

Interesting, wonder who it is. If we're 'talking to their agents',
the player must be reasonably high up the food chain.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Oh im sure that lads will start speculating as soon as they get on
line,rather than just wait and see.

Guess they want to sign someone quick smart - with the All Whites
game in Vanuatu on the 17th and the home match against Sydney, the
'nix will be short of their All Whites players in that match.

I would rather see Willie Mason sign for us than Bobo Bloody Balde!

I thought we were announcing Alessandro Pistone this
week
Its no longer a problem.

I think the media releases go like this:
1. Pistone is signed up for the Phoenix.
2. Peace deal signed in Sudan, government in Khartoum admits
to atrocities in Darfur, resigns and organises genuine
elections.
3. Ben Sigmund signs for Phoenix, FIFA waive restrictions on
number of clubs in a year.
4. Helen Clark admits the tax cuts are out of blatant
political desperation and she's dumping on Treasury for political
expediency.
5. Bobo Balde signs for the Phoenix, subject to losing his
Glaswegian patois.
6. Iraq civil war ended after all parties agree to a
democratic process, Iran and Syria recognise the right of Israel to
exist, Israel endorses a separate Palestinian state, and the US
agrees to leave the entire region alone and buy oil on the market
like everyone else.
7. Jaap Stam signs for the Phoenix, subject to the Neville
brothers never setting foot in New Zealand.
8. New Zealand wins the rugby world cup.
9. Cassio signs for the Phoenix.
10. North Korea admits that most of its population is
malnourished, that the Great Leader (Dear Leader, whatever) didn't
do 18 holes of golf with a round of 32, and that actually living in
South Korea would be a hell of a lot better than Pyongyang.
11. Peter Halstead signs for the Phoenix.
12. The Royal Family admit to orchestrating the death of
Princess Diana in Paris
13. John Tambouras signs for the Phoenix.
14. Hard News admits that he doesn't really fancy football, he
just likes looking at fields of green grass and the football is an
unwelcome distraction.
15. Lonegunmen signs for the Phoenix.
Enough already. As the ad for that beer from
Mangatainoka would say "Yeah, right"

Quality. 
For some reason I thought of:
16. Partick Thistle are relegated from Scottish Div. 1 after
the bold move of signing Bobo Balde, Peter Halstead, John
Tambouras, Lonegunmen, Alessandro Pistone and Ben Sigmund on loan
from Hyundai A League club Wellington Phoenix fails to achieve
success.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.
