He should only be signed if he comes as a set with his brother, and after his post final display he shouldn't be close to captain.

well said.
 
get ready to hear the:
"you've got the wrong aloisi" chant from all the fans in the A-League if you do sign him.

I think he has dirtied his name now. Sure he can play but he is 34 and he IS the wrong Aloisi.

Get lost with all this wrong Aloisi crap. He is good enough for the A-League, and if you're judging him on 1 match where the whole team lost the plot, not just him, then you're bloody stupid. Hes captained a side to the final, very good job.

i agree with Nembo ross aloisi would be a great signing with his experience in the first two seasons in the a-league, and he has proven to be good enough! ok he lost the plot a little in the final but he would be a great addition to the squad because of his experience, but not as captain!
 
aloisi please sign!

get him on board. he has a heap of experience and has represented auatralia several times.  class player who was only cut because of the poisonous atmosphere at adelaide.
 
a dead cert for captain.  htre are no serious nz candidates.  the only kiwi i'd consider is covs and he won't be starting every game (if we're going to be any good)

Absolutely, we need quality at this stage and he definitely has it. A bit of an attitude too which if channeled right will do us well in the middle of the park.

If news is right and we have a Brazilian playmaker, then Aloisi could be the perfect foil.

As for captain, Adelaide seemed to self distruct and with Kosmina going too, it seemed to be more than just one person, so he could be a good candidate.

Cheers

It would be brilliant to get Aloisi. Not as captain tho, there has to be a kiwi in captain, e.g. vicelic,brown or coveny.

Someone in Adelaide who is acting like they are 'in the know' says he's not interested in leaving Adelaide.  Reckoins he is putting his family first.

John Aloisi said he would like to join the HAL when he finishes his contract in spain - it is one of his dreams to play with his brother. For the moment won't join Adelaide becuase of the way his brother was treated by AU.  He did leave it open mentioning he could happen but not in the near future. 

 
If you guys get Ross you get a shot at Johnny!

Do you have a web source?
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Nembo does not get it.

Is there a source for that story by adelaide news?

Having a chant about having the wrong Aloisi makes signing him worthwhile. Sign him up now.

Nice if both Aloisi's come.

Aloisi signs for Phoenix
<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->
ROSS Aloisi, the former Australia striker and last season's Adelaide United captain, is linking up with the new Wellington Phoenix A-League franchise.

The club is scheduled to unveil its first signings today, and The Dominion Post reports that the ageing Aloisi will be among them.

A controversial figure in the A-league last season, Aloisi was spotted in Wellington yesterday, the newspaper reports.

He made five appearances for the Socceroos, the last in 1999 against Manchester United, and spent 10 seasons playing in Switzerland, France, Italy, Austria and Malaysia.

Last year the 34-year-old led Adelaide to the A-League grand final, but left the club he had served since 1990 under a cloud.

Aloisi was sent-off during the 6-0 grand final loss to Melbourne Victory, and was one of four Adelaide players to make a humble public apology after the match.

His post-match comments, directed at match officials, drew widespread criticism and the saga led to his ignominious "retirement" from the club and the resignation of Adelaide coach John Kosmina.

good first signings.........i reckon aloisi has been promised the captains position....

He really impressed me at the press conference. He promised nothing less than 100% from him and the rest of the team. I think he will like it here and perform well.

I'm happy that you guys have a such a positive outlook on the team and the future. Such a great thing and missing in the a-league. You guys better make the WRONG ALOISI chant now and be proud of it. If you do this then the 'others' cannot pay you out.  I hope he puts in his best for you guys.
