apart from his screamer in the first game. Buari wasnt too bad tho.
Bazely i dnt know how he ever got captain fk me. Hes the worse. Get
a big name player now. Experienced defender surely. Ne thoughts?
Yeah the problem is how the hell we going to get them to come from
England from over here, If theyre experianced and young they wont
want to leave and if theyre experianced and old theyll want the
doe.
What about using the loan system... surely the A league is a
similar standard to the belgium leagues ets where some of the EPL
teams send their up n coming youngsters

What. You mean like the loan system the Knights had with
Charlton? How many up and coming Addicks players did we ever get
from that? Zilch.

i agree, the Charlton link was a waste of time and effort, i would rather see us form a link with a championship club if we are going to have an 'alliance' arrangement with an english club, atleast then it is more realistic that there would be co-operation, maybe we could have an alliance with Preston North End and do a swap: Brockie for Nugent
Hahah good idea. I think a Loan is a great way to bring in players,
but what clubs will want to latch onto us. If terry throws some
money around then maybe we can hook up a deal.
Incorrect, Matt Carbon was being chased by several League Two
sides but he wanted too much $$
[/QUOTE]
Ah, no, I was not incorrect, some League Two clubs had
been approached by his agent and had said that they would have been
willing to take him on but that his demands were ridiculous due to
his terrible injury problems. He wanted a contract, they
wanted him to prove he was fit first, they were right, and the
gonads at the Knights were total suckers to take him on.
There is no doubting his pedigree as a player - I remember him
being the next "next big thing" during his time with Lincoln and
the England u-21s and although he didn't fulfill that early promise
he had a solid career. But the fact is that the Knights signed him
to a lucrative contract when everyone else seemed to realise
that he was a horse that should have been put out to pasture.
Dumbasses.
Nix, Leyton Orient and Alloa Athletic supporting schmuck.
No, I have inside info and we offered him a contract - which he turned down due to a better offer from NZ ( we werent offering much).
...and as for Bazeley, I heard from an impeccable source that it
was in his Knights contract that if he was fit, he had to be
selected. Now this might be wrong - although I believe it
implicitly - but it would explain the fact that he kept getting a
game when he clearly was one of the worst defenders at the club and
therefore in the league.
I say The Nix should learn from what's happened and steer
clear of British players over the age of 28. A lot of them come
here only when they can't get contracts over there.

One club may have done, (which goes against what I heard) but
lots turned him down. And also, why weren't they (not sure of your
club) paying much? He wasn't worth the risk. And that's the whole
point of what I'm saying.
Nix, Leyton Orient and Alloa Athletic supporting schmuck.
Yeah I agree, wasnt worth the risk. Notts County, we were very
interested in him, not his injuries.
ye i agree ne english players over 28 cya later buttt i believe if
they have got a name for themselves then ill take them no doubt as
we need an experienced defender. Ur thoughts on how Lochead will
do?
Hahah good idea. I think a Loan is a great way to bring in players,
but what clubs will want to latch onto us. If terry throws some
money around then maybe we can hook up a deal.
Maybe Terry's friend @ Palace can help us there if he doesn't come down here for us.
Getting back on topic i think Lochead will go alright, he's quality and his record shows it.

To be fair to Bze he was one of our best performers in season
one - think he lost a yard or two of pace in the off season.
Lochead will be great - MLS is a step up from the A League I
think.

It is ironic that, as you say, Bazeley lost a yard of pace in
the close season, and Neil Emblen, although one of the Knights best
performers, was clearly carrying quite a few kilos too many. Who
was the guy promoted to assistant head coach? The fitness
trainer...

Totally agree, he will be an asset, a player that's always
looked classy when I've seen him and Steve Nichol has been his
MLScoach, he knows a thing or two about the fullback
position.

Banks isn't up to it physically. Been proven twice. His level is
the NZFC and he will thrive there.
The A League defences are too quick and too physical for
him.
Has been fighting tooth and nail in the VPL. 2 weeks ago he skinned 3 players to set a teammate up for a tap in and the winner against Melbourne Knights.
