the 2 under 20 signings
Yeah according to Auckland City FC Michael Boxall is going to the
US college system.
We'll probably end up with Brockie 
I reckon Boxall and Brockie. Even though Brockie missed that
sitter he looked confident and to me he's not that far off being a
real talent..he seemed to hold the ball up good and showed
good vision..well that's what i thought of him off the tv1
highlights this arvo anyway..
Why keep putting up names when we've already been told they are'nt
available.
Several of the under 20's are off to school in the states so
its no use to keep suggesting Pheonix sign them.
i doubt draper will sign for phoenix. hes still got to finish 7th
form and he has had offers from overseas.
I have ever really talked up Brockie on this forum, in fact the
opposite. He missed a sitter against Portugal yes, but he can't be
blamed for the miss against Gambia, he hit the ball first time,
only to be beaten by some very good keeping. Also, he set up keat
with two good oppotunities.
Draper looks very good, but who is after him from
overseas?
And I'd go for Boxall still. p.s who said our backs need to
bulk up, have you seen Boxall, he scares the living sh*t out of me
just looking at him on t.v.... he's one large angry looking
cb.
I think it might have to be Brockie if the rest of the team are off
to US Colleges. Are there any aussies youngsters available who want
to play proffessional footy?
Has Roddy Brown been on the bench in this tournie?
Roddy is down as the third goal keeper so can't play.
Is he injured? Stu doesn't appear to want / rate him
otherwise.
Hope to see a more attack minded team against Mexico.
It sounds like the Phoenix are looking for a right back so Sam peters would be a superb choice as one player.
Jeremy Brockie would surely have to get picked up as he has
proved himself at this level.
It would certainly refresh the guys career.
Peters and Brockie for me!!!
If Boxall was available yes but hes going stateside to bulk up
some more!!!
i doubt draper will sign for phoenix. hes still got to finish 7th
form and he has had offers from overseas.
costa was doing 7th form this year too but weve got
him..

'tis true, but i think its important to greg to finish school, he was wanting to go to uni too, dunno if hes still guna do that though.
I like the look of Boxall for one spot at the Phoenix and Draper
for the second. Please, please, please not Brockie!!! He has
really disappointed me since his great start with the
Knights. Has failed to fulfil his early
promise so far, but he is young and who knows may mature into
becoming a better player than he is showing at the moment.
Boxall and Draper for me

Interesting, I thought Spoonley wasn't an option.
Gould is the U20's goal keeper coach, he has obviously spoken
to Spoonley about the option of the Phoenix.
I can tell you right now - before he went away he wanted to go to the US via scholorship. That prevents him from signing with the WP.
I doubt its changed
Spoonley, Boxall and Jenkins are by far the best players in the
team and maybe Draper these lads need to be in a professional
environment as they have big futures in the game and are future all
whites!
apparently Ricki is gonna beon Radio Sport in the next hour talking
about the U20s
let us know what he says.
I have worked out that I don't think I own a radio, unless I
can get it through sky. Is that strange?
Thought Boxall was class yet i thought it would be better to get
another U17 player, even another local like mosses petelo
was on about 5.50pm http://www.radiosport.co.nz/AudioBank/WeekOnDemand/Default.aspx
He said jack really - the questions weren't asked of him

He said jack really - the questions weren't asked of him2 minutes of a clip on yellowfeverTV, and he thinks he's
bloody Parkinson
Still think spoons will get picked up by big european club.
Didn't put a foot worng in three games.
dont have to wait long the two u20s are training with the nix on
thurs
so I guess those two must know then
...and Jeremy Brockie currently playing for Wellington Phoenix FC but has widely been tipped for a move to the English Premiership.
looks like we better move quickly if we want to keep Brockie
surely this kind of self advertising is wrong...shame on you Jeremy
Whoevers tipping that move must buy Lotto tickets as well
Hahah Brockie, premierleague??? hahaha.
Spoonly and Brockie will be picked up.
Will people stop quoting wikipedia on here? Use your brain,
it's rubbish!!
Saw in the paper the other day that spoonley and draper going to
gosford and have the inside running for the two spots. Sound slike
two good picks to me, they were class in canada
im well aware wikipeda is mindless garbage for some things, but its
still good for a laugh from time to time
ok so i was at the portugal-new zealand game and i would say dan
keat and jacob spoonley were the best ones on the pitch

Its good to get an opinion of someone that was there.
Thanks.
Keats has received mixed views on this forum. I think he may
have potential but I was just dissapointed when he gave away some
ball very easily. Plus his two finishing attempts were
shocking.
His work rate, vision and long balls were good.
ok well see he did give away a few stupid balls but overall he
played amazing and i would be glad to have him on my team any day.
the kid has great potential and great ball control (most of the
time) and amazing passing skills and the kids a friggn workhorse
man he never stops. great player for captain 
that cat roydhouse couldnt even cross the ball in.shocking.

KEANE RELAXED ABOUT CHOPRA BACKROUND
...However, Keane insists he will recruit any player he believes can improve his squad regardless of where they were born or which clubs they have played for previously.
He said: "I don't care if they are from Newcastle or New
Zealand, if I think they can come in and do a good job for the
club, I will sign them....
could wikipedia have been seeing into the future?????????????
Interesting... I do love conspiracy theories and it did seem weird
that Brockie wasn't asked to join the nix ahead of draper
(although Draper was better than Brockie i thought they might
wait another year for him, for when our older strikers retire or
leave).
Good for NZ if he does go.

is it good for NZ though? can you imagine the headlines if JB does get a contract there and plays like he did for the U/20s "Keane Kills Kiwi for Krappy Game"...it could be the end of young kiwis getting pro contracts in the UK
sorry, a bit harsh
I heard a rumour that Brockie might sign for Hawkes Bay....
HI gings.. just wondering where exactly that is on the Premier
league site??? cant seem to find it cheers.
it was on the link for the signing of the new striker
(Chopra)...
