"Pignata said Fred had "loved" his time in Wellington and was hopeful of a return next season. "I'm not sure in what capacity, whether it's fulltime or another guest appearance, but I'm pretty sure he'd love to come back," he said.
The Phoenix are also in contract negotiations with goalkeeper Mark Paston this week and continue to search for strikers in preparation for Shane Smeltz's move to the Gold Coast next season."
Fred back full time, new strikers and Paston resigned - may the force be with you Tony - make them all happen.
Seriously doubt that Fred would sign full time with us - he's a polite person. Even if he was in Siberia he would say it's a wonderful place that he loves.
I would be very happy to be proved wrong though.
It's unfortunate that this has happened. Think that Fred would've made the difference against Perth.
