Phoenix Transfer - speculation (Part 1)

Fixed

Club launch is about 3pm our time.

Wasn't it supposed to be 8am their time?

Was. There's been a few reschedulings from the sound of things. NQFC forum says 1pm their time, today.

Oh ok, only the third change then eh

Which I believe is 4 pm our time

...yes, you're right.

CURSE YOU DAYLIGHT SAVINGS! Thwarted again!

(Ed it- Canetoads don't use DST. GAH! I give up! Stupid Queenslanders always ruining everything... forza NSW!)

Watch Seule Soroman's start to the NZFC. If he's banging em in then sign him.

Steve Holloway if he has the form he had at the end of last season.

I like the name Holloway but unfortunately, he seems to be too under rated in too many quarters. Good work rate and intelligent footballer.

So did Nth Qld name anyone at the launch? North i presume

127 PAGES!

From Brisbane Times

"Eleven players have committed to joining the fledgling franchise next season including marquee signing Jade North from reigning champions Newcastle. Matheson wants those deals firmed up and announced before Christmas.

Four of the 11 have been scouted from the various state leagues across the country."

No ink dry yet.

Anything more developed on these fronts?

Geez...Newcastle is/has been gutted.  Surely we can finish higher than them.

I'm not sure whether to make anything of this but... simon_hampton2008-11-07 18:26:59

Says it all really

Who the hell is John Paver? Sounds crap.

John Paver eh??

I Google NZed the name and judging by the results I presume he goe to Tawa College https://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1T4ADBF_enNZ263NZ264&q=%22john+paver%22&btnG=Search&meta=cr%3DcountryNZ

Like I said, it could just be someone putting their name in the Nix squad. It is Wikipedia after all.

It will be

lol

Maybe the same person who put Simon Elliott in the squad, whilst misspelling his name and making him 9 years younger than he actually is?

it says joel porter has signed

It also says Steve Pantelidis has signed for GCU.

brockie and krishna will sign for the nix also bling have their eyes set on a big fish

Where did these transfer rumours come from?

News is part of the Australasian Football Illuminati. As the 'About YF' section says, he knows when Tando Velaphi is about to fart.

And stop getting your info from Wikipedia people...

Brockie and Krishna will sign for North Queensland.

Really? Using import spots on a Fijian and a Kiwi? That's different. I do want to see Brockie back in the A-League, though.

Krishna seems blurry.  He's young enough to be Youth League, and if he has an Indian passport could sneak in using the new AFC Asian import rules proposed.

Jeremy Brockie said himself at the nayland sports prize giving that hes signed for an a-league team and it was supposed to be announced on friday.

do you think signing Brockie would be a good move? I think he didn't shine last year (mind you, he had no chances to shine - but that says it all).
Besides, wikipedia says that Brockie signed with NQT..
If we have to sign a kiwi, shouldn't we look at some lads playing in the NZFC who are ready to step up?
And of course we should sign De Gregorio..he's a bit old, but younger than Brown or Johnson..he could be Wellington Phoenix's own Totti...

Four years older actually, and I doubt he'll go pro again now he has a business running and all. As for Brockie, if he's going to impress in the A-League he's not going to do it with performances like his one for T-Dub today

Cnut said on Stuff that there is rumours of Mossy going to Aussie next year.  I havent heard these, who is he rumoured to be joining?

Bloody better not go, we can't lose our two best players at once!

So no one knows who he is being linked to?

...or no one is telling.

NQ is the most likely

Does he have an Aussie passport or something? Why would an aussie club want to waste an import spot on a goalkeeper?
