Is Kurto really going, there has been speculation he signed with Western United since the Jets game at home.
With our season over I would have thought an announcement would have been made but nothing.
No reason for there not to have been..so i'm wondering if its all rubbish and we are negotiating with him. Or am i just being hopeful.
Dang it, we'd gone so long with that rumor that I thought we stood a chance of signing it
THEN SOMEONE had to bring it up, and merely a few hours later its confirmed

He'll be a loss :( I really liked Kurto... I guess this means Marinovic is more likely now?
Would Marinovic be interested in coming to the Nix? He's lived away from NZ now (mostly Germany) for nearly 10 years.
He's age 27, by coming back to NZ, he's probably giving up on any dreams of ever 'making it' in Europe. That won't be an early realisation to have. Can only think of Vukovic as a keeper who has gone from the A League to Europe, at a later age (Soocerway says was about 32 when went to Belgium). Any others??? Likes of Ryan & Langerak were pretty young (both around 21).
Look Nix may offer Marinovic tempting dollars, and the certainty that he will start next season as the side's no 1 keeper. But I can see him wanting to trial for a few more months in Europe yet, and Nix as almost a last resort.
I see Gleeson if fit as being more likely. Could well be wrong.
