its very important that we find an experienced rightback, whether they are an import or not. Would prefer to not have manny play right back, but that may end up being what we do. However I have faith in Ricki'd recruitment this year. He proved he can do it, so lets all believe
Do the names Pavlovich and Toto ring any bells? 
This is part of my point, last offseason he rushed it due to the world cup.
However season before that, when he was given time and went to UK to properly scout with great rewards - Ifill, Greenacre.
The year before when he had time, he also signed some quality in Manny, McKain, Durante, Bertos
All fair enough points, but if the Phoenix are serious about recruitment they should have their ears to the ground constantly on potential signings, not rushing about between seasons. Ricki might have been preoccupied with the World Cup but Trani, Gould etc weren't.
