Phoenix Transfer - speculation

Viduka: old, lame and not very good. Anyway I heard he has been linked with Fulham.

Nope, he 'quit' the EPL

I think I read on SBS website yesterday that a UAE club is talking to him and that it is "almost done". I suspect they could pay him a fair bit more than we could...

Speculation on CCM forum that Caceres is coming here...another midfielder??

""It's our only true ball player Caceres, GONE to Wellington.  Obviously the flair is not what the MARINERS want !  ...100%.  Ink drying on clearance.""

Strange... but interesting he wouldn't be a bad signing.

Wasn't Cassio supposed to come here after walking out on Adelaide United too? Hmm.

Wouldn't be a bad thing for us though if it were true.

"100%. Ink drying on clearance. "(When asked about source)

Two comments on the Marinators forum... interesting.

Caceres is good in spurts. Very, very inconsistant however and not a first 11 player.

I'd rather not take Carceras, we have enough with Marco, Costa, Diego Daniel and Super Leo.

not really too keen on the idea... i believe it when i see it

 

yeah not really interested imo. I thought we'd want more cover in defence aswell. never know though he could be gold for us. meh we've got enough spots that we could still have him just for the sake of it.

Keep in mind we have a series of All Whites fixtures looming...

I'd think we could use some defensive cover when Sigmund and Lochhead are gone...

It'd put Daniel even further down the order, he'd be lucky to make the bench surely.

Sign some fullbacks. Sign Traore.

Only midfielder I want to see is Fred! Or maybe Viera?
Only some one who would definitely start in our line up should be signed from now. We dont need no more squad players

Commentators yesterday were suggesting that Caceres had some injury concerns. From what I've seen of him he can be brilliant or frustratingly ordinary, somewhat like Daniel and Diego in fact. StopOut2009-08-30 16:46:27

I thought that now that the Iraq game was cancelled there would be no conflicts?

On todays showing against Sydney its clear that we need a central midfielder that can hold the ball and currently we dont have one...in fact most of our "midfield" went missing in the second half

If we got Fred on loan again I think I'd get a whole lot more excited about our playoff chances.

im pretty sure we will still make the playoffs... we didnt play that bad today, still played a good style of football and created chances however Sydney were better

Rubbish.We were dreadful in the second half.

- We barely completed two passes
- We repeatedly launched the ball to nowhere
- They lost McFlynn the only defensive midfielder they had and played the likes of Gan and Corica in there and we got nohting yet we had McKain, Lia and Ferrante out there.

It was spineless and dreadful and how we can go from fluid attacking like last week to the most dreadful hoofball and non-existant mdifield I think I have ever seen from the Phoenix makes me despair.

Just awful, f**king awful

Thanks HN you posted what i wanted to.

Very strong rumour over here that Caceras is Nix bound ... any whispers your side..

Struggling to disagree with anything you've said.

I found myself shouting at Ferrante and McKain to move and make themselves available but often they would just jog and dare I say it not want the ball and without a route through midfield we resorted to hoofing it.

Don't think RH's tactics helped and we seemed to be under instructions to sit back and hope for a draw in that second half.

The Caceres rumour is just that - rumour. Read the Mariners forum and someone mentioned it as an off the cuff comment.

I've yet to see a link where its been a major talking point. To me, its all false

It's not false he's heading to Wellington

How are you so sure?

Dont want him if he types in capital letters like a 12 year old

Another attacking mid that Ricki will put on the bench behind Ferrante?  Just what we need.

...sauce.
