For all the hype, he's only scored two goals in his time at Sydney... he arrived with a lot of noise, but I'm not sure that he's been the value they hoped. Hard News2008-01-14 13:36:49

Bridges.  Ditches.  Smitches.  But we need some key positional aquirements. If we can - we make a serious challenge next season.
 
Raise your hands if you agree with me.

He could prove instrumental in bridgeing the gap between our current position and the top four next season if he makes the crossing?

Any Nix player must also realise that they have a huge responsibility to perform.  The whole credibility of NZ professional football rests on their shoulders.  In more ways than one.

Oh God. Here we go again!
 
If we rope him in,  I don't Harbour any doubts that the crossing would have to improve he was to make an impact. Long season's in England may have taken their toll on him. If he arrived we'd probably get a few trolls from Sydney on here. What's his discipline like, don't want any suspension worries.
 
I heard he's a keen card player, favourite game's pontoon apparently.

Seing he already plays in the A-league it would be an easier transition from Sydney to hear than making the jump from the English leagues.
Having a big guy like that may make it easier to get the ball from one end to the other.

Slipping back on topic. Aus rumours

Bertos is rumoured to have offers from us and a NSW side, but is said to prefer staying in Perth.

Jamie Coyne supposedly has offers from us, Perth, Adelaide and one other side.

I'd say the Durante rumour has far stronger foundations than Bridges'.

I think the question is whether we want to open the Golden Gates to anyone, I mean he Tower's over some but if he harbours issues it could just end up with a load of sighs.

maybe we should target a few of the financially screwed english clubs for new talant.

eg Luton...although for a quality player they'll prob want an arm and a leg

Nah... he's got two arms.  Not what we're looking for.

Be interesting where he goes in the next 6 months, another Achilles break down and he may pack it all in.  If he comes back okay, I guess he's a chance to make a name in the UK again.

He must be frustrated as hell.

Don't feel bad, Stevo. We've all got to shoulder some responsibility for the way this thread has got out of hand. You'll know next time, remember "Forewarned is Forearmed"......
 
Wonder if he cleans his own boots? Must be hard with one arm. Still, I suppose a bit of hard work and some elbow grease would do the trick.....
 
Never mind, Gareth. I'm sure medical technology can sort you out. They did for this guy, you'd hardly know he's got a false right arm (although they might have got the measurements slightly wrong):
