Ifill and Greenacre are both inspired signings - and we have them for at least 2 seasons - hopefully longer !!!!!!
I've had the pleasure of an opportunity to briefly chat with both of them - genuinely nice guys and true professionals.
I think they are a good indicator of the level and age of player you need to recruit to make a difference in the A-League i.e. minimum extensive (and successful) League 1 experience and preferebaly League 1 with some championship experience and an age of 31 or less. I realise it's not that black and white but useful indicators.
I'm hoping Paul and Chris, and their families, will both enjoy their time in Wellington and will spread the word that the Nix are a great club and Wellington a great place to live.
He dribbles a lot and the opposition dont like it - you can see it all over their faces. (Ron Atkinson)

Agree with the comments about both. Two professional footballers who are already proving an assett to the club.
Thought: Chris is on record saying he's been contacted by a lot of his pro footballing mates back in the UK asking him about the league, and expressing an interest in trying their luck down here.
I sure hope he's running the best of the names past Tony or Ricki.

Yes and then a solid central midfielder to steady the centre down and keep the team on track. . . .

What's to forgive? 
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Yay Ifill. So good. Makes me hard. Hopefully Chen is also very skillful, then we'll have two good players who can play up front.

No but the very last thing I remember was I was skiing and Paul and Chris were either side!

Could have been water skiing or cross-country. Either way C-Diddy is one sick puppy!

Will the burger give you the 'fast runs' (especially down the sides) and the sandwich might hold up a bit? Either way they'll last a full 90 minutes!

Wonderful days of innocence back then. When a sandwich was just what it meant: two Brit footballers pressing against an Ocker.

I was under the impression we didn't have a marquee player but in this article he's referred to as our marquee by Rob Morrison.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/sport/football/5676209/Herbert-can-inject-fresh-talent-into-Phoenix
"He's the guy that obviously builds the squad, he's got a marquee player in Paul Ifill already and there are limits as to how much you can spend in terms of the salary cap," Morrison said.

I wouldn't read too much into that. High chance of being innaccurate IMO. I would love to know how much room we have under the cap though.

I think he means 'marquee' as in he's our star, not that he's under the marquee banner necessarily
