So if Smith has been  axed who made the call? New coach already making squad decisions befoe he's announced?

One of Sanchez or Smith HAD to leave, once Carlos had signed. Merrick said in the presser that he would have also signed Carlos, so I don't think it is a big issue that the club made the decision to let Smith go.

In our end of season poll in the Off Contract Players thread Alex Smith got 4 votes from 104 respondents.

Pretty clear that nobody really wanted him to stay and I would have been shocked to find out management had a different view.

A pretty big fall from grace considering after the first game of the season we were all like Tim who?

I like Smith. He showed my son some cool new tricks at the open day last year.

I thought he played well pre-season and got into the starting 11. Stepping up, the new midfield. But then after a few games they ALL played pretty shit, it was the team that failed not a single player.

I personally don't like how  forum members talk sometimes about players, sure they are 'Pro's' but it is still personal. I hope they don't look to often into the forums for their own sanity.

Hi,
Are there any opportunities to trial for Pheonix? Does anyone have contacts with a director of the club?
I am a player from NZ whom has been overseas the past 2 years playing professionally.

So Ernie wants to bring in 6 or 7 including 4 top players -  a striker with pace, two centre mids and a defender. Depending on budgets and availability who would we be looking at?

Patrick Kisnorbo (Aus) is out of contract at Leeds and spent half the season on loan at Ipswich - he's 32 and had a few injury problems. A-League may extend his career if he's looking to come back to this part of the world.

Corey maybe an option now Merrick is here too - pace and a player with plenty of promise.

Mid's - he has talked about local players and he wants guys who can pass the ball - Clapham to finally get a chance? I know Ricki looked at him but always thought he was worth a shot and more likely to make the step up than Totori

Ernie said on TV3's extended interview that he rates Louis Fenton, then let it slip that he also like the fella Rowe that has also been signed.

The comment about wanting pace in the other striker he wants to bring in would also rule out Rory I'd imagine.

He mentions Local a bit so outside of the academy that leaves the NZFC - who could step up? ACFC have a few options but they'd mainly take up import slots. Feneridis may be worth a look to as midfield cover.

Even though this is apparently a real person, apparently he has learned nothing about such things as agents in his pro career in Costa Rica.

I quite liked smith also. The only reason I think that I would have let him go was because of the import spot that he was using. The whole team was shit last season and not just individuals. I do wonder if he would have shown better if Ricki had played him in the position that he was brought in for and not just any position he was played in

Then if he is that smart, get his ass to Wellington and turn up to the sessions and walk on. If he is good enough.....

I still stand by my 'no' comment.

Thanks for that. I heard the same thing, but thought he said Rose, and was trying to work out whether somehow Josh Rose had become a young player, or if it was someone else...

In hindsight I should have let the video run for another 30 seconds before trying to work out.
Guess that makes it a straight shoot out between Lochy and Hogg then.

Are JV and I the only people who agree that a professional football player who thinks that posting on a fan forum is a way to grab the gaffer's attention clearly needs to catch himself on?

I know, lets write him off because he had the audacity to come on our high and mighty fan forum to ask for some help.  
Shouldn't we try and help the guy?

Yes! Let's help him, rather than just mock him for trying to get ahead in the game.

Good on Maksim for being pro active.

And posting on here is actually quite smart considering the close relationship some people on this forum have with people at the NIX and also given in previous years the Nix has offered scholarhsip chances to train with them etc etc.

Its just like applying for a job, those none in the industry get head hunted, everyone else tries to get a foot in the door to prove their worth. No difference here.

And clearly it worked... they now have his details.

The clips ok.

His touch doesn't look the greatest but he appears quite strong and seems to have a fairly good range of passing off both feet with decent pace.

Looked good in the air.
