Is Aaron Clapham the Phoenix version of Jemery Lin for the NY Knicks in the NBA?

ask him on twitter if he'd seriously consider coming back?  He'll be diplomatic and say "never say never" but I reckon our energy would be better spent on finding a gem here.  There's got to be one.  Basalaj would be good, did he succeed at his trial.  Hang on was it at Rangers????

The place is actually full of Kiwis. Latest stats say that 38% of people living on the Gold Coast are from NZ.
That's about 240000 people.

At the moment, only 3 teams need first choice keepers for next year. GCU who are a mess, and only offer 1 year contracts, Heart and us. If he wants to stay in the A-League, I am sure we would be a better destination than Heart.

Well if you reread the above you might see tripvincent quoted wiki

News responded to that info and then got pounded for quoting the very source that was provided to him

That was a mugging if ever there was one

Agreed we do, I'd rate him higher than most of our players in that roll, and it would mean Manny could stay at RB...+ Salley isnt an import any more?

The former, dont get me wrong, Lia does well, but if betters on offer then so be it. Smith always seems hungry and hard working

I think he is a very useful player and has an eye for goal.
 
Thoughts?
 
I agree that he has an eye for goal.
 
It's where his other eye is looking that's the problem. Usually about 20 rows back.
 
 
agreed

Totally agree, I am more concerned about us getting a decent keeper next season as number 1 or to push Paston. Not so about getting good wide midfielders or wingers as they are easier to come by.

Only concern is does Moss want to come back as No. 2? i think Paston might still be RH's no.1 by default...so Moss might not want to come if elsewhere can offer more starting opportunity...

Love to see him here though

Doubt Moss would come back as #2, would love to see him back. Having an Aussie passport also opens up Asia for him.

He's made 70+ appearances (a large number of those starting) so hes done well compared to many others

Moss was no. 1 previously, and for the AWs before his suspension so I don't think Paston would be first choice keeper. Plus Moss is better than Paston. Personally I would worry about having 2 injury prone keepers at the club though. Bring in Basalaj instead!
