Phoenix Transfer Speculation 2013/14

^ Ha you have hit the nail on the head. Where are the Hogg/Rowe and everyone else supporters?

wont be from me

Lia routinely crapped out around the 65 min mark, esp. getting caught the wrong side of the ball on defense.  That aint going to improve as the season's roll by...

Yep!....got lots of time for Lia, him being the last founding player of the Nix. However he is one of those players who has got buy more on hard work, mental toughness and a never say die spirit rather than individual brilliance. His greatest problem is inconsistency. If the team is doing OK and he has time and space on the ball he can pick out passes as good as anyone in the League. However if the team is under the cosh a bit and the opposition are pressing hard he does start spraying the ball about. The new Ernie Super Plan needs some one with a higher skill set who can consistently hit the front runners....because if we can't transition the ball from defense to attack accurately then it does not matter how many fancy attackers we have. The new DM is going to be the key signing this season IMO.

Rumour courtesy of Yohan in the Jeremy Brockie thread:

"On final note, a little birdy told me that Nelsen has no plans to buy Brockie from Wellington, and may again be interested in him once his contract is over few years down the road. And Nelsen hopes to do a loan with Wellington for some TFC reserve players. One player is Kyle Bekker, young Canadian international CM who plays more of a deep playmaker role. Very technical player who can make a pass, and has decent set piece ability, but doesn't dribble very well and at the moment can't keep up with the pace of MLS"

I saw leo bertos buying a chocolate today. 

Did he sell his TV to have the finances for such a purchase?

Or he was on his way to a fancy dress party and was going as the robot guy from LMFAO!

Leo usually delivers from outside the box

ESPN stats on aerial crosses talking about West Ham...

Thought this might be interesting analysis considering our previous era of attack.

Nice article. 

We always top the 'balls into the box' stat but it's never really got us anywhere.

Lookslike cam lindsays sticking around for now

Interesting about a possible loan deal for Kyle Bekker. Seems he was meant to be one the bright new players for Canada in 2011 and has 7 senior caps for the National Team.

Nicely clipped FK dinked in and a few nice short touches. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An20eXvL6As

so Lindsay and Watson out and about representing the nix. can we assume anything or would we just put it down to the club needing the numbers for this event?

Pics of the Sherminator out with Mossy and Box at the Football festival day too. 
He's be lurking round for a while now, must be close to signing.

He'll be playing for Team Welly i reckon

Twerking? 

I really think these two are going to make a HUGE impact on the A-League this season. I know Hernandez has played in the League before but teaming up with a fellow Costa Rican could bring even more out of his game for the Nix. Can't wait to see them in action together...

Maybe we are still in with a shot...

Injury prone
