Phoenix Transfer - speculation

What is the deadline by which we need to have 20 players?

Just saw on the nix 09/10 Wikipedia site apparently we are/were trialing " A�lton Gon�alves da Silva"
I don't remember his name ever coming up, is this just another case of wikipedia's natural tendancy to make things up?

He's old and very overweight by the looks of it.  Having said that his wife is called Rosalie and I knew a Rosalie a few years back and she was a babe so maybe he's a good option?

Noticed that too. I say potential vandalism/dickery, and am about to revert it.

I'd love to see Alen Marcina come this way again.  A great player.  John Tambouras as well but he's with NQF (according to wikipedia at least).

Yeah Alen Marcina would a great final striker signing. Similar physique to Chen too.

His season finishes in October, maybe a November transfer window signing???!!!

I wish.

I have feeling Tambo will get shown up in the level of this league now, always liked him as a player and person though.

Apparently Tambouras has done alright in pre season

Maybe that year in Ireland has done well for him.
I look forward to seeing him play (or not - wether or not SKY pull their heads out their arses!?!?!

I have to say that I am feeling a little nervious about our squad not being full yet. The cut-off date must be fairly close. Anyone heard anything?

How big is Chen - just passed a 6ft+ solidly built Chinese lad wearing a Nix tracksuit top in Lambton Quay. He was followed by a 5 ft nothing older Chinese gentleman, also in a Nix tracksuit.

He's 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) Junior822009-07-31 13:15:21

he looks a lot different than what I imagined lol

He was definately pretty tall when I saw him play against the Chinese team. Taller than Greenacre, anyway.

btw that link doesn't work for me?

Kinda looks a little chubby, looks different to how I perceived him from the game when streaming over the net.

As long as he is the goods and can score goals or assist our other strikers im happy. Im not hanging on to the thought of this fella being our highest goal scorer but hopefully he can contribute.

Hope he isn't moody like G** was. The only thing i remember from the Ghangzhou game was that he'd look up to the sky with a wincing grimace or looking down at his boots round-shoulderdly.

Obviously Ricki has seen enough of him to show real interest though.

We'll see.

Sounds like it's almost definate

"We're just doing all the documentation and final negotiations. I'm hoping to hear back some time next week with a view to getting Jiang Chen out later next week or earlier the following week."

Also sounds like he isn't here yet

maybe you saw the nix sumo squad....

Obviously our squad of ninjas

Bugger - looked a big strong lad.

I'm very keen for a bench player who hads the potential to come on and win it for us.

Why is it that I'm the only one who can't open the link? Has China blocked Aussie or something? 

there u go.

He looks chubby in that pic.

could be an entertaining season!!!!

LOL

The comments in http://sports.enorth.com.cn/system/2009/03/09/003921444.shtml suggest that he is a talented player that has not yet reached his potential, but the third comment says the he has discipline problems and sometimes goes a bit crazy!

oh dear reminds me of my antics two weeks ago :L

So... nothing like any of our other players then.

G** Strikes Back:The Taller Version

what the f**ks happening here ??????????

sorry guys.........

awesome translations love the bottom one

JIANG Chen where you can FM09 radio energy transfer is the number one team striker Taida know why I have spent more than 4 consecutive you took the A3 there are three consecutive AFC Champions and FA Cup the second. ? Even the World Cup you have all scored a hat-trick of small Japan.

  Alas, the capacity value is not high so how to use high-capacity submarine???

  Because you are a foreigner so they line the game on the line that you

? Refueling tanker routes you partner with the road No problem!

so hes arriving by submarine but must refuel his tanker. excellent.

Cheers for all the links. Maybe someone on 442 could point daviddu towards yellow fever?

Man, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) is still corrupt. That referee seems to be the worse official you can get. Until Chinese Football Association (CFA) cleans up their act, the Chinese national team is always going fall short of the top 5 AFC teams. They could easily be a powerhouse in the AFC but they always disappoint. Oh well, makes the playoff opponent one place easier for us.

Bad news guys, looks like this entire thread has been nothing but a fabrication.

The sports writers at the respected Australian newspaper The Sydney Morning Herald have assured fans across the ditch that no replacement has been found for Shane Smeltz (someone better tell Greenie and Ifill they're out of a job) and it seems we may actually only have four players, two of whom are spatially confused. The other two "have speed" though, which is something.

Meanwhile a Sydney side that are "still searching for a defensive partnership" and have questions over goalscoring ability will be pushing for the title, perhaps because they "are playing an exciting brand of football" *cough-ourfirstseason-cough* excuse me.

Could be a long season ahead...






...unless someone can round up and execute the entire Aussie media.
