for the best at this point. We need our imports to hit the mark, don't really feel we have the luxury of taking such a big risk after the complete squad overhaul we have had

Every import who isn't coming from another A League club is a big risk though if you look at the history of imports not just for us but for all A League teams. Experience in European leagues or whatever is no guarantee of success in the A League. Semmy would be less of a risk because at least he's settled in NZ already and would be cheaper.  I think it's actually more of a gamble to hold out to sign someone else in that import slot. Not necessarily a bad decision because you might get an ifill or something but on the the other hand you might get a Sarpong. I don't think it's less risky though
