Not Diego's fault though.� He's been pretty hard done by to be be honest.� I'm not sure of the logic behind his signing but he'd have started every game this year at somewhere like North Queensland.�

He can be a good A-League player and with our current suspensions he should be in the matchday squad and probably would be, but for injury.
Really? I get he's at the end of his career, but I think he's the very reason why we've become nervous about offering more than 1 year contracts.
For the last two years he's regularly been seen 'recovering' from injuries down courtney place, and applying an altogether different training criteria. His "Ricky doesn't like me" cry, should be taken with a pinch of salt.
To be honest, he spends so much time in the Ponderosa, I thought he'd become their bar manager. He's had his salary, he's had his Century City apartment, he's being paid no matter what - let's not confuse that with his ability to be able to do a job for us.
As it is, he seems to be doing a good job of leveraging the fact that he's a Phoenix squad player to promote his and Daniel's Brazilian soccer skills business.
