Wasn't the problem they couldn't make an international transfer until the international window opens?  The international window is open and they are coming from Amateur football so the A-League window probably doesn't apply.

Just a theory


 Seems the most accurate assessment, as being amateurs they have no club transfer to worry about.
Just because they are 'amateurs' does not mean that the rules don't apply.

It won't be that the rules don't apply, it will be that you are able to sign free agents (see McMaster) at any time.  The A-League transfer window does not apply to free agents, however FSE kids were restricted from making an international transfer due to that window which (apparently from what others are saying) is now open.
McMaster was not an international transfer so lets take that aside and really look at what we are talking about. International transfers and when the window does open. I do recall NZ had a different window in the October period because of our seasons and FIFA made allowances for that  (winter the ASB then back to a different club) so I would suggest that the A League stick to their one and ignore the Jan 1 date. Being amateurs, they are still registered with TW so they do have a transfer to worry about. You see them on the Cap football site all the time....
