I have seen Clapham play regularly and I dont believe he should be picked because he is a young prospect. I think he should be picked for the phoenix as he already offers enough to compete at this level. He isnt just good in the ASB championship, he is absolute class, and I believe he would easily be able to compete in the A-League. I havent seen a player dominate games like him in the ASB championship. Clapham is on the same level if not better than Brockie (remember Brockie had to ply his trade back in the NZ championship for a bit). If Ricki Herbert over looks him thim I will be very disappointed and it will be a repeat of what happened with Kosta, except sadly I dont think Clapham will get picked up by another A-League franchise.
[/QUOTE] Clapham is NOT better than Brockie.
Brocks starts for the Jets, wasn't that the same club where Clapham trialled preseason? Brockie was pushing for a starting spot for AWS at world cup only to get minutes vs Paraguay although Clapham did not even play. Brockie >>> Clapham.[/QUOTE]
Very sorry, was meaning that claphams impact in the national league was more than Brockie's impact when he player for Napier, not that he is better than him at this moment. And, if Clapham is given a chance he can certainly be competitive like Brockie.
