Phoenix Transfer Speculation 2012/13

Again, its 6 rounds. 6 fucking games. Its not 3 years. 

People want a midfielder and slammed the signing of Gameiro cause he was not a midfielder. Here is a potential option (and its doubtful the club will approach him anyway) and of a reasonable standard that isn't an international transfer and ticks a few of the boxes that has been requested and because he is a cock, we should not sign him? Again, like Gameiro, if he comes in and is a game changer and gets us into the top 6.... (again this is all speculative) 

Talk about cutting of your nose to spite your face. I really cannot believe I am reading some of this stuff. Some people are just ridiculous to please. Common sense/angst has gotten to crazy proportions around here.

For the record, I'm with JV on this one. And for further evidence I give you the case of Danny V. Everyone said he was a c**k before he got here, and probably still is, but did a great job for us down the stretch and helped us into the finals. Does anyone honestly still believe that this famed "Phoenix team spirit" is actually still around at the moment, and will be toxified irrevocably by Culina? Any other season I'd say no, but this one, like someone said earlier, beggars can't be choosers.

Is the league not 27 games? Then 7 games to go?

Ok. My apologies. 7 games. Hardly changes the fact though does it.

Lol at the guy at the back with the trash can on his head, didn't realise they had started...

And the guy with the flag falling out of the window.

Is he really masturbating ???.....the one on the right near the back !!!

The Culina thing doesn't matter anyway. 

We have 23, he can't come as injury cover as there are no 'exceptional circumstances' and to quote '7.13 A Guest Player may not register with more than one Club during an A-League Season'.

What happened when GCU stole Charlie Miller for the finals a few years back. Did he "fit in the cap" *nudge nudge wink wink*?

Not coming that`s it !!!

For starters we've been given the distinct impression we're pushing the cap already so I'm not sure there are dollars remebering any pay out of the remainder of a contract still applies to the cap.

Hogg took us to 20 excluding Pantelis.  SInce then we've signed Cernak and Gamiero.

There was a rumour bouncing around of another signing befoire the Culina dust up - no names - but I have heard no more rumours on that, although would assume it would be an injury replacement for Pantelis so can't be someone already in the A-League.

Unless gameiro is a guest stint. 

 Two Jeremy Brockie's I've got two Jeremy Brockie's...

It seems you are both suggesting that Pantelis was not included in the squad when we signed Hogg to bring us to 20, but at the same time including him in the squad limiting us to our maximum 23. Which is it? We either had 20 when we signed Hogg (Hogg being #21, Cernak #22 and Gameiro #23) and all media reports are wrong (could well be) or Hogg could be an injury replacement player for Pantelis which would make him #20 and give us 1 more space in the squad. 

In regards to cap space, I know that any payouts would be counted in the cap so if our squad is full (max 23) and Downey was on $75k/yr and his contract is 'til Apr we pay out the remaining $ since we are not looking at keeping him (maybe around $15-20k we have to spend anyway) and IF we have cap space left over (and we want Culina) we offer what is left. Not sure how much the minimum would be, is it the minimum yearly salary of ~$50k for the remaining 7 games or can offer the equivalent of that yearly salary but only for the remainder of the season ~$4k/month 'til the end of the season (maybe 2 more months so only $8k?) Hypothetically speaking he wants min wage, but I assume, unless he breached a term in his contract, Sydney paid him out so he is sweet and any $ from us is a bonus - plus he gets to try and prove he is not crook beyond playing for prospective clubs next season.

We have 23 including Pantelis:

Paston, Moss

Sigmund, Boxall, Dura, Bertos, Hogg, Lochhead

Cernak, Manny, Lia, Smith, Downey, Lindsay

Huysegems, Brockie, Sanchez, Totori, Boyd, Fenton, Ifill, Gamiero

Pantelis

 A media story on the Phoenix ill-researched and inaccurate?  Well, colour me shocked.

racist

Mr Worthlessington!!!! hey! hey! *high five*

Wasn't it the time we had McMaster as well, which I think may have caused the confusion.

yeah mcmaster was in as injury cover for Moss.

Who's being announced tomorrow

Major signing on the way? Any speculation?
"@YellowFever_NZ
Rumour has it the Phoenix will announce a major signing tomorrow morning for next season."
EXCITING!

Ripped straight from the Fever twitter my friend. That's all I know.

Major signing would indicate that this is not a re-signing.

I'll be bloody pissed if it's a re-signing. A resigning though, that would be nice.

Need some positive news leading up to our next game.Good times

I'll take Cernak in the sweepstake. The Perth rumour panicked us into offering a three-year contract! I'm only half joking too.

who could it be?

hmm who is getting old and past or close to  their use by ?
