phoenix signings
i know that lots of people will disagree with me when i say
this but i rekon that the signings that phoenix have made including
the two new brazilians have been the best in the a league apart
from melbourne of course but its really promising to see a squad of
this calibre comin together
The Phoenix have been signing well.

More Brazilians needed
No, no, Sydneyphoenuix assures us that Lochhead runs around like a
headless chook... apparently we'd be better with Chris Jackson.
I like the signings so far. I wonder if the Phoenix looked into
African players at all, I think someone like Dennis Ibrahim would
have been good for the Phoenix. He was classy that guy, pace and
finishing, two pretty good attributes for a striker. I know signing
African players was talked about a while back. Sydneyphoenix some
of your comments have been a little strange, Lochead might have had
an average game against Wales but hes proved before that match that
he is a more than competent left fullback.
Best, Smartest signing so far...Aloisi. Hands down.
In respect to the now, not the future.
still cant understand how you think lochhead isnt good hard news
but its ur opinion or should i say sydneyphoenix's opinion. i agree
with aloisi being a great signing especially for an a league cast
off.

Wise words. Very true.
However, the original reason I came to this board was to
herald the arrival of Daniel. Once you've had a season, in
fact, half a season, you'll all be acknowledging that he is hands
down the signing of the season.
Yeah, I think Daniel and Aloisi have been the best signings so far.
Good to see Coveny in there, too.

It's most definitely not mine...

Yeah i agree. Present - Aloisi, Future - Daniel.
I'd love to see our old kiwi chilean favourite Patricio Almendra
back, don't know if I could put up with his South American
shinanigans again...
Yeah Almendra was class, I wonder where he ended up. He definitely
gave a point of difference and some much needed creativity.
Hopefully the Brazillian signings can bring something similar to
the Phoenix
You all have to admit Victory did recruit pretty well. Looking
forward to seeing Hernandez step out in the big V.
hernandez was by far the best signing this year in the A-League, to
be honest i cant fathom how you got him and at what price

thanx for thinkin of me!!! im currently playin for the stop out
3rd team in Cap 8 but would love a callup................
You're right tho, Ibrahim is just the type of striker the
nix could use - strong, quick, with a lethal left foot and good in
the air as well. If Wynton was on board we could be recruiting
guys like that easy!
Is that better?
Actually didn't think it was appropriate for a football forum.
Anyway, thought you would have an Ipswich Town avatar!

No... NZ football first... ITFC 2nd.
Too bl**dy right!!

Hes on loan for 2 seasons
Melbourne better not win again this year. Wont be good for the
league.
Yeah, we don't want to turn the A-league into the NZFC with one team winning everything. Also, I hope Herbert isn't just buying Brazilians because they are Brazilian (like, I heard that Adshead was buying English players because they were English). I'm hoping that Daniel and the other guy whos' name escapes me are actually class.loyalgunner2007-06-14 20:49:38
Adshead didnt buy English players just because their english...
dont be so f**king stupid

He siad he "heard" that, not that he believed it. . . Let's
not be so quick to flame people folks, we're all supporting the
same team . .. except for that "Melbournevictoryfan"
guy.
Yeah but to even suspect that is bloody brainless
I don't think any one can really be sure what was going on in their
heads with some of those Knights signings. Most of those signings
would have been made on past performances and reputations. The fact
that most of the signings in question were English was probably for
a reason. I think the coaches probably made the asumption that the
A league would be played in the same way the English play the game
and therefore looked at the English market mostly for players. Now
it seems most teams are starting to look mostly at South America
for imports, and really none of the British imports have really had
the impact the clubs were expecting them to have.
All the good british players are playing for good british teams and
getting paid a lot. Why would they come down here?
The point I was making was that they looked at that market because
of the Engish style. It has been clearly established that both
Adshead and Nevin underestimated the strength of the league and
signed some players who ended up struggling in the A League
Yeah but to even suspect that is bloody brainless
That was what I heard, but it was probably just someone's opinion. But you no how lots of people in NZ think England are wonderful at football because of England's reputation for being a footballing nation. These people might (wrongly) suspect that any player too come out of England will be class.
I suppose, but they are very wrong and I would bank on them knowing
next to nothing about footy. Adshead undestimates the league, Nevin
didn't, he just couldnt/didn't recruit correctly.
Whats up with this Korean Defender i hear????
Brazilian wasnt it?
Who knows these days, lunactic care to clear up anything???
according to this story http://yellowfever.co.nz/show-news.asp?ID=377 on
the front page which was in the Sunday Star Times, the Phoenix are
likely to announce two more import signings tomorrow, believed to
be a Brazilian central defender and striker (Cleberson and George
obviously), however annoucements have been delayed before so I
wouldn't hold my breath.
