If we don't have a future beyond two years then the first thing we should be doing is signing anyone with an NZ passport to get them places at other A-League clubs if they prove to be up to it, not signing a 36yo African player.
It isn't like there are many quality NZer's who'd come to the Phoenix who are strikers (Smeltz gone and Killen likely wanting to stay in Europe) and, imo, if there are no quality Kiwi's then may as well go for a quality import like Dadi.
And if we found out we were only going to have our license another two years we shouldn't stack our ranks with Kiwi's for the sake of it. We all know a team like that wouldn't be as good and as a result NZ football will look worse in the eyes of Aussie football.
