We got 2 GK now and both of them AW, when there is a AW game I think at least 1 of them will be unavailalbe, so do you think we should sign a third backup GK?

18 signed, 5 to go, 2 Brazillians, 2 U20s & probably 1 Aus/Kiwi Right Full Back.  So will most likely be a U20 GK. (Spoonley?)

Thoughts?

i think we should have a spare on standby...i wouldnt like to see the cap taken up by someone like Nicholson, give a youngster a go IF we do decide to go for one.

We got the best keeper in New Zealand at Plains Rangers, but Phoenix aren't having him.

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

I agree, Paston is almost as bad as Hay in the Tin Man category.  Injured often in the UK and if you all remember begining of last season all three keepers were out injured.

Sign the keeper from Hawkes Bay United.  He's had the most practice.

I hear Jimmy B is lurking in the background as cover and will be with TW too. But who am I to spread idle rumours and gossip.

Its no longer a problem.

Spoonley won't come because then it will make him professional and he wants to get a scholorship from the states. How many times do I have to say this?!

The All-Whites commitments will make this a tricky decision for the Pheonix.  Generally I'd say no as the squads are still too small for such luxuries and short term signings can be made to cover for injured players should one of the keepers suffer an injury.   If not I think I'd be having one of the squad players having the odd practice in goals should the need arise on a match day when you only have one keeper and he injures himself/gets red carded.

Righy ho - have Aloisi as the third choice keeper then. I don't think so.

I think it would be better to just stick with two goalkeepers and sign goalkeepers on the short term when injuries/suspensions/All Whites commitments come around. Speaking of short term signings, how many are teams allowed to sign per season?
