Man!! If O'Dor kept getting his normal sized schnozz busted every week, what's that poor b*****d going to have to suffer 
Glad he's not a rugby player. That would put a new spin on "The Full Time Hooter"

great bit of geography here *sigh*
There are rumors that Hartlepool United striker Joel Porter is leaving the club to return home to Australia.
Porter has reportedly signed a pre contract agreement with Australian side Wellington Phoenix which would see him return to his native country when his Pools contract expires in the summer.

Talking to a fellow FM researcher...
I want to redo my order of likely signings.
RKC should come back up yes. They lead the comp by 3pts but have
stumbled of late. There is only 1 automatic promotion spot so first is
crucial. Teams 2-9 plus teams 16 & 17 from the Eredivisie play-off
for the other 2 Eredivisie spots.
Vicelich has only played twice this season

As for other one im know not so sure.Blame his parents.Just reading the news article on the Thunder on the home page, it is interesting what they mention about the GCG.
Gold Coast has been a different proposition, with football director Miron Bleiberg, the former Queensland Roar coach, having obtained contractual agreements with a number of A-League players, who will sign as soon as the club is officially admitted.There is no mention of Felipe, but a midfielder from Brazil could mean him, but what interests me is seeing Karl Dodds name there as having signed an agreement to join the club if their proposal is accepted for next season. Is he not on a two year contract and therefore have 1 more season left at the Nix? It could explain why Sigmund is still in the picture even though we have at the moment 4 CBThe players include Andre Gumprecht from Central Coast Mariners, Noel Spencer from Newcastle Jets, a midfielder from Brazil, former Roar keeper Scott Higgins and Karl Dodd from Wellington Phoenix.
Bleiberg is in Melbourne scouting players from the Victorian Premier League.

some on here have criticised Dodd, but i'd be ok with him staying - I wouldn't fault his attitude and in some ways he was thrown in the deep end last season, having to lead a fairly shakey back four
he could partner Durante, and mcKain could do a job in midfield
however, folks who know more about Ben Sigmund might persuade us that he'd be a better combination with durante ..???

I hope Dodd stays. We don't really know how McKain (especially him) and Durante will turn out - or Sigmund.
Probably one of my favourite players at the nix. Him sending Kruse flying into the advertising boards is one of the best memories of the season.

I've avoided it because I remain to be convinced, unless we are doing a Knights and pinning our hopes on being a re-habilitation clinic for other teams crocks.
Also, Tarka is a Centre Back and we've currently got four on the books and a quote from the club saying another one is on their Radar (Siggy).

If Dodd went then I'd hope Siggy would be right back in the mix again

Why do we always sign, or rumour to be signing, players with aweful injury histories.
Hard News2008-03-04 11:26:55Its no longer a problem.

If Dodd goes to GC Galaxy and is still contracted to us does that mean we would get a transfer fee or would we just let him out?
thats a good point.. surely if they want him this season they would have to pay a fee, considering i'm sure we would never release him, alos baring in mind a transfer fee has never been payed in the a-league i believe? therefore theyr either making history or waiting a year

That is what I was alluding to. A-league teams, I understand, are not allowed to pay transfer fees to one another. So the only way I can see this happening is Dodd being released from his contract somehow, unless unbeknown to us his contract actually expires this year.

Yeah a few on here thought it to be quite bizzare, thanks for clearing that one up. Now Tony can you say the same for the Joel Porter rumour?

I heard from a board member at South Melbourne (although they do hate the A-league), that a player can only be signed from a VPL club for no more $3,000. He also said O'dor signed to the Phoneix for this amount. He seemed to think this was the same for any player currntly playing in Australia (or the A-league i guess). It didn't seem right to me, just passing on what he said. I hope Dodd doesn't go, he's got a great attitude and works hard.

Pretty much right.
I believe Adelaide caught a game at the weekend as well, perhaps Richmond ? Don't remember the other side.

Actually, we want a left-sided player... Shannon Cole.
Have you had a look Tony ? He played NZFC for Waitak a season or so ago and the lads I know in Sydney think he's just the berries... Super Leo Right, Shannon Cole left and Daniel in the middle... here we go, here we go, here we go...
