Lol sure we will get Kevin Phillips!
 

I apologise if this has already been discussed but I only caught 5 mins of the NZFC Final and was wondering whether or not Aaron Clapham is A-League/Phoenix quality?


Been discussed a few times.

My personal opinion is that he's not there yet but has the potential to get there.


I actually thought Clapham was class, controlled the midfeild well, had great awareness, he looked a level above the rest of the other Canterbury players.  But in saying that he wasn't the best on the park and he's been training with the Phoenix a lot so he has been noticed, I believe he could be A-league quality but I don't think the Phoenix need him. If New Zealanders weren't counted as imports I wouldn't be surprised if he got picked him by the Fury, Heart or Rovers as a squad player.
