Elsewhere, the Jets are poised to lose another key player - defender Andrew Durante - who is believed to have agreed terms to join Wellington Phoenix next season. The New Zealand club is also talking to former England international striker Kevin Phillips, who is scoring freely for England's West Bromwich Albion, about a marquee role next season.

Hmmm. Interesting.
Well, at least those are a couple of new names to be added to
the "Who will we sign for next season" list.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Kevin Philips... He's the Championship's top scorer and currently
with a team that looks very likely for promotion, if we're after
him he's going to cost a packet!

Be very surprised if somebody in that kind of form, at that
level, would want to come down here. Even if we could afford
him.

Great news....even if we don't get Phillips , Durante would be an
excellent addition!
Just what we need, an experianced defender!
If the Phoenix are looking for a player with the caliber of Phillips then it shows that we are aiming for the best. Terry frequently said he wants to win the A-League and is prepared to spend big on players to get it.
The offseason transfer period will be very interesting. Also to those current Phoenix players it suggests that they had better perform to the max in the last two games of the season, just to make sure they will be around next year.

But..... it's sunny and warm (perhaps a tad windy on
occaision) and not too far from beaches, nice cafe's, lots of
sunlight too, the people are friendly and he could live a life
where passers-by don't hassle him for missing goals, his kids can
walk to school (who am I kidding, kids don't walk to school
anymore, they get mum to drop them off in the 4x4), he can buy milk
in a glass bottle at the dairy...sounds like bliss really, who'd
swap that for one last crack at the Premiership and being paid in
pounds?

kevin phillips was always a player glasgow rangers were after but
the transfer never pulled off, he is a brilliant player, i remember
he played with sunderland a few seasons ago and was good.

these are 2 players who i think will defo add to the strenghth and
depth of the team, also leo bertos

I think it's reasonably safe to assume that, of the two, Durante
would be more likely to come to us than Phillips would.

Gareth Ainsworth is 34 and doing well in the championship. Unlike
Elrich, he's a team player and scores some spectacular goals. might
be worth it as a Marquee. Still got the speed surprisingly.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

He WAS an OK player, would he be seeing out the end of his
career in journeyman fashion like a certain Brazillian at the
bling?
If he came with the right attitude he'd be a good signing, but
I'd have to question why he would.

Kevin Phillips would be a fantastic addition to the squad, he just
keeps on scoring them goals. Highly doubt he'll come though.

I reckon it's all a misunderstanding. It's Andrew Dewhurst and
Prince Phillip we're signing
