Krishna has been exposed as being just a flat track bully. If he was lighting it up at training, he would be getting a run every game for the full 90.
Agreed, this seems pretty obvious now given how depleted the squad is.

On the contrary. If he is an import and 4th choice, he is not good enough. We already did that with Totori and paid for that mofo to get out of town - have we not learned?
Imports should be starting quality and if not, they should not be signed especially when they are the ones that will make a difference. We gave Krishna a shot. If he had talent for this level (and I respect he comes in without a preseason etc) it would have come through quickly. He has not.

To be fair; Kenny C took about half the season to show that he was up to this level (around the time he played for Costa Rica against Aussie) and he's had far more gametime than Krishna.

I have heard a rumour that Sam Burfoot is trialling at the Phoenix very soon.

Musa to re-sign as injury cover? #neversaynever
A 5th center back is (i hope) not the highest priority.

According to tvnz Lia has re-signed for another two years but Huysugems is set to leave.

Sign Michael Eagar as injury cover, now captaining South Melbourne after getting player of the season with VPL winning side Northcote and quite easily capable of filling this roll. someone needs to get him on Merricks radar...
Paul Ifill reads this place. You would have to think the Phoenix are aware of him.
Would people want Smeltz back if Stein does leave? I suspect Ernie will want someone faster.

I think I drunkenly mention Eager to Merrick post game after Riera was injured. So I probably blew Eager's chances there.
Shaun Gill, who is their ops guy, is from Miramar so knows about him.
Ernie has tons of contacts in Melbourne. Im sure if he keeps doing well in the VPL, that his name will get passed on.
2nd Best, that is brilliant! I hope it does happen one day soon, Eags deserves his shot!
With Lia resigned do we have much space in the squad list for another midfielder?
An area of weakness it seems like we are staying with what we have will do combo.

...and good medical insurance.
Tom Doyle training with the Nix....Speculate away!
He's just a young pup. No chance of being signed imo.
Perhaps they are looking at him for next season - get him with the squad see how he does and if he looks the goods he's got a good off season to work along side the big boys.
Still a young NZ defender.
It really does seem like Adams is going to be Merricks version of Ricki and Lindsey.
I thought he was in his 20's? Is there anyone else? I would have thought we need another injury replacement for this week.

maybe hes also in to make up numbers in training
As per the other thread, I'm guessing he will be the injury replacement for this weekend. Short term injury cover signing if Timmings doesn't pull through? (not that he is dying!)

Paulm, you are right on the consistency. Though I was hoping that Boxall would be able to push Siggy for a starting spot. Due to the many, many injuries it hasnt eventuated.

Haven't listened to the pod but I agree that he was the best TW player in the final and if he's there on the back of that performance it doesn't surprise me.
