canterbury united - best player for sure, ex rangers fc in scotland so has the experience, represented scotland in the under 19s etc, brings flair, fast and has the ability to score. whatcha say? give him a go? in my opinion have a look.

lol well on you go tell riki lol, if any one knows riki mention this boys name

I think as he's a foreigner we'd probably rather use those 4 spots on some flair players like our new Brazilian!  They have instant appeal both on and off the field and I have no doubt will help ticket sales.  Hard to get excited about more ex-UK pros.

All this talk about signing brazilians and south americans. Just because they are South American doesn't make them any good! That's the mistake the Knights made; buying european players because theyre european and not because they are something special. Stuart Kelly is a good player and it wouldnt be a bad idea to give him a trial. The only problem is he would take up a foreign spot.

If you're really determined to sign foreign strikers from the NZFC surely it has to be Grant Young or Kieryn Jordan?  They've both got far better records...or Benjamin Totori for that matter.

It pretty much does really. An average player over there could come here and boss the NZFC for a start.

I heard Kieryn Jordan didn't want to play pro at Knights because he'd rather play semi pro and keep his job.

I watch Canterbury United now and then and aren't convinced with Kelly. Probably only Fisher and Barron would be good for A League.

kelly is a amazing, but yea fisher and barron shud come too!
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Barron is a favourite of ricki's or aleast appears to be, he always raves about him after games etc.
 
Not so sure on Fisher, he didn't exactly set the world on fire at bodens, rather go for Jarrod Smith - younger.
 
Agree with the general consensus, give Kelly a trial.

barron fisher smith got to be better than some other crappy cast off australian players

I've seen plenty of Canty Utd games too and would have to agree with the comment about not having Kelly in the Phoenix.  Don't really think he up to the A-League standard, remember we have to be better than the Knights were, therefore NZFC is a long way off...
