Transfer Talk - 2018/19 Season

Can't recall now if he was injured at any time during his stay here, but see that he only got 2 league appearances off the bench. Guess his his greatest legacy is the yellow and black version of the Panamanian flag that the Fever still has.

Excited to hear that’s De Jong is still a pos

I want to know where the hell in Wellington would Oba stay? The guy is absolutely loaded. I know nothings a done deal yet and it's still in its early stages, but its surreal that I guy like that is even being approached by the nix

Those pictures have made me realise that this is never going to happen

How about those chairs!

Yeah. The dream is dead, fellas.

Relative anonymity, safety and a beautiful environment are not nothing.

Maybe he doesn't need bling

Judging by the photos he quite likes it

I meant doesn't need any more bling- he's emptied the store of that already!

No-one wants to come here - not even Kiwis. Perhaps especially not Kiwis. The club has a fatally damaged brand.

Yeah I get that feeling at this time every year!

Obaterry Martipisos

He has a kid, I would promote air quality good school system. I would not mention, virtually no highways and 100km/h speed limit.

Yep. Not happening.

yep not going to happen, based upon that bling and our lack of it, 

It's a bit like chatting to a girl on the internet and then seeing the hot photo and realising you are never going to score her when you show her yours

It's devastating but

My balls my word

While it's smaller, would Wellington really be that much of a downgrade for him from Shanghai or Lagos? 

Not quite as classy as Milan, and when you are that rich you have options rather than Lagos 

Yeah, in general nz isn't the best place for the bling lifestyle, poorer countries are much better, we're far too egalitarian for conspicuous displays of wealth.

You use your own photos?

Lol. Tell Dotcom that. You been to Auckland lately? Waiheke? 

Yep, nothing compared to Shanghai or Moscow, or anywhere with the super rich and super poor.

I would rather compare our wages here to what he got in Sounders as that would be a closer match...Taylor obviously wont need the money, but came here - money isn't everything.

Imagine filling up that car! We'd send the bloke to poor house with our petrol prices alone!

On a more serious note;

The only way we could get someone like Martins is to sell him a challenge (couldn't be more understated if I tried). There is no way we are competing on monetary terms, but he's 33, and got a couple more years in him at least. Play on the fact he's a well known, experienced and quality player & would no doubt he would be a standout in the A-League, especially if he can get injuries out of the way. 

Won't be easy, but man what a coup that would be for the Nix, and the shot in the arm we need as a club. At the end of the day, if it happen's then great, if not, then so be it. For me it's just heartening to see the Nix actively trying to recruit someone of this calibre.

Just my two cents.

Cassandra, Cassandra. Nothing a string of wins and some cracking goals wouldn't fix

Cassandra was right.

Looking at the building tho it sux compared to a flash house near the sea

Reminds me of the Kingz days when you had a couple of ex-German based pros on good coin while the rest had to earn a living working part time at the airport

Actually, come to think of it, this is on a whole new level to that

Yeh ok, but it suits the rhythm better than chickeny littlely, chickeny littley

Dolores:  You are always so negative.

NO I'M NOT

Yes you are!

Did a bit of social media snooping, Obafemi's agent is a guy called Tekin Birinci who a little while ago was hanging out with Michael Essien. Essien has a different agent, but maybe there's a connection there?
