On the Totori front, I'm ok with him being in the team even though he is not a starter usually. I base this on the fact that I think its reasonably important for us to support Oceanic talent. In fact I'd be happy if we used 1 import spot a year for that purpose. I don't think the reason we're going so poorly is just because Totori is in the team instead of a better import, there's more of an argument that Smith shouldn't be there I think.

At the risk of sounding selfish - fuck Oceania... for now. I think we need to sort our own shit out first before we go handing out charity. Lets win a grand final and then we can prop up Oceania. Import spots NEED TO BE used on quality players. End of. Totori - out. Smith - out.
Ricki - out.

Don't give a rats arse about supporting Oceania....we are not a charity. Let FIFA help them out.
Keat cut from LA Galaxy
Yes please sign him for the Nix.
And before anyone says....he was pants for the AW's answer this question. Would any of our current Nix midfielders have ever have got picked up by the Galaxy and stayed there for two seasons and been thought good enough to start against Real Madrid?
Keat is a good player who is unlucky to be taking up a foreigners slot at LA.
Definitely good enough to make a mark in the A-League
Keat> daylight > Smith and Lia
