Transfer Talk - 2018/19 Season

Never stops people offering an opinion on Social Media.

Jerryd Tyson has been released by WSW - has anyone seen him play? Would he be an upgrade on Italiano/Velaphi? 

His best chance of getting another A-League gig is as a teams social media person tbh.

What about Chris herd would he be any good, only seen a couple of games of him. Could be good replacement for paracki

A little reminder about Kosta and a warning about Howieson in that...

Listening to ccm vs Newcastle.... Commentator's said that phoenix approached Jason Hoffman for next season, he turned us down.

We have no coach

We are not signing our own players until we have a coach

But we are approaching Jason Hoffman?

One could suspect the new coach may have already accepted (and kept on the hush) and identified this player to start the process?

thats what they said last season with Darjie, but in reality it turned out to be b00l0cks

Didn't say when he was approached though.

I'm going to impersonate a mod at this point and ask that PLEASE coaching stuff go in the coaching thread ;)

She's a mod, she's a mod, she's a mod, yeh yeh yeh...

This is just speculation on speculation, so I'm not saying this happened: But the only way I find us approaching Hoffman acceptable is if both candidates for the Nix job were asked about what sort of players they want the club to be chasing in the interview process, and they both had eyes on Hoffman. A possible explanation but no proof. 

that would be a real dogs breakfast if that is true

Followed by a dog day afternoon on the field

To be honest, I'm more bothered about the fact that Hoffman apparently turned us down. Not because I particularly rate him, or want him here, just the (massively unsurprising) fact that even bang average journeymen like him don't want to play for us. Allegedly.

Like the hand waving we're doomed rubbish about Scot Miller or whoever else has been linked by an agent or the media with a gig here (as coach or player) I give this whole story a 1/10 on the News credence scale.

News, stop coming in here with your cold, logical facts. It's the off season for us now, this is the future for the next few months. Teeth gnashing, wailing and ridiculous speculation. It's what makes this place tick  :-)

Sam Malcolmson is still 6 months behind. He also calls McGlinchey a quality import.

Malcolmson is an idiot that is jealous that Auckland don't have a team.

I think what he says is quite reasonable. Having a local coach, of course, hinges on them being suitably qualified according to the FFA criteria.

Where else would WeeMac go? Scotland? His move to the JLeague really screwed him as he can't have been too far off getting Australian citizenship.

suggesting that weemac is an import shows how little he actually knows though - regardless of how reasonable he is being.

LG, Sam M lived and played in Wellington long before he moved to Auckland. 

He already flopped in Scotland before coming to A-League so can't see much interest for him in Scotland given that & form over recent years.

Indeed but it hasnt slowed him. Come on Nix.

A good Stop Out lad

(Wellington United too)

That's not a bad article at all and he makes some good point

But, come on big Sam, don't come to me with problems, come to me with solutions and let me know which of the New Zealand coaches should be hired?

also this is so far from transfer news now, lets get back to mindless speculation on who we might sign and leave the coaching stuff to the coaching thread

Maybe, but that's the stuff that makes every other thread interesting.

Would people be keen on Chris Greenacre remaining as coach for next season?
