If Clapham was that good he'd have been picked up by another A-League club, who certainly don't shy away from Kiwis when they make the grade.[/quote]
And which Kiwis are these exactly? Smeltz, Rojas, Barbarousos, Wee Mac, Brockie, Bertos - not exactly huge numbers.
Just recently, Storm Roux. And, to hell with Australia, Kiwis with talent are being picked up by serious business clubs in Europe - Basalaj, Tuiloma, even Musa for a day or two (and Musa DID make it to the Nix). But, amazingly enough, not Clapham. Why is this? A vast conspiracy against him?!?
It is a fact that Clapham is a foreigner to Aussie clubs and therefore not that easy for him to be signed. Unless someone knows the real reason why the Nix aren't interested [either under RH or EM]
It was much easier to make a conspiracy theory when it was only Ricki, wasn't it? But since Ricki and Ernie agree, either the professionals are right or louts on a forum know more than they do...
