All white captain tommy smith. Not that he'd have any interest in coming. 

Marco rojas. Oh wait....

Would have to be a big name kiwi, but not too big...

Or the cliche past it former England star. 

that would probably be the only way you would do it or an aging euro star.

Ernie wants a CB...........Ricki Herbert could make a comeback lol

on a serious note, with the players salaries being paid for by the FFA, surely there is room for a crowd puller marquee ? maybe not this season, but next season I think the owners will have to put their hands in their pockets.

Sort of. Its more that the money has always been available to the club. Now, the A league effectively holds on to that money, pays it to players, then gives the club the rest. 

But yeah same point, no extra money is available.

We are at the end of the line for non import players. Most will hold out until all the Ozzy teams have filled their rosters. As it keeps them close to family. So look for more action closer to season start.

I think he's meaning that previously there was a shortfall between the amount clubs received from A-League and the salary cap

As awesome as Aimar is, dont think he work as a marquee here in terms of being a big name.

Think the only kind of marquee who would have the bums on seats effect would be someone like Michael Owen (except he is retired)

Ok move Ifil to Marquee in name only - opens another import slot.

No it won't, your marquee players still have to fit within the 5 import slots. Only think that would be freed up would be cap space.

My understanding is that he'd still count toward our imports if we did that?

What's the situation on Ifill's citizenship? Surely he must be close to gaining Nz citizenship and therefore freeing up another import slot by now.

So you are the first to tell us there will be a new signing next week but no idea who.

Forgive me if I think you know more than what you are telling us.

Billy Celeski would be a great pickup. Really rate him. He's still contracted to the victory though right?

Victory had an option to extend the contract for another season. He was involved in their pre-season match on Tuesday night, so it's pretty safe to assume they exercised the option.
