James hardly made a mark in the NSWPL or now in Finland. No other a-league side has looked at him. One okay display in a pretty average All Whites display doesn't suddenly make him a-league material.

Well I certainly agree he isn't worth an import slot, which is probably why no other A-League clubs looked at him.


Wondering how you can say he has or hasn't made his mark in a league that you can't watch. Without seeing him play, he has played over 50 games for KuPS since 2012.

All I think is that surely he wouldn't command a huge wage drastically more than another youngster but would at least give us someone in that DM position that potentially can pass the ball and has quite a bit of experience. At the very least if he turns out to be worse than Lia (is that possible?) he would provide some sort of cover in that area.

Wondering how you can say he has or hasn't made his mark in a league that you can't watch. Without seeing him play, he has played almost 40 games for KuPs since 2012.
