Wasn't there talk that we had also signed a right back outside of Australia? Was it an import? or is it just Gumbie or whatever his nick name is.

So if this kid is a lightning fast right winger, is he going to play right back or right midfield?

Wonder what our resident Downey (the one that naps in bars to recharge the drinking battery) thinks of the signing?

You can be as fast as you like but if you cant cross a ball, its a waste. Poor signing from what he has shown so far in the a-league. Hopefully, he has improved.

Disappointing.  If we're going to waste a squad spot on someone it may as well have been a kiwi playing well in the ASBP or O League, thinking of Pearce etc here. disco_mart2011-05-05 11:38:45

Hang on.  Right now he's the only right back we have so he's not a 'squad spot' and right back is a spot we can't find ASB Premiership players in let alone A-League quality ones.

How's my driving? - Whine here

good signing under the circumstances Id say.

We still need 8+ players on board, so theres still a chance we could look at another RB/LB/Both.

Otherwise there is always manny 'versatile' muscat who can play there.

Nice to see a replacement where one was needed.
Looking through the half-full glass tells me Ricki is going to turn Downey into another gem like a few other rough diamonds in the past. Just ignore the knockers....  I know its hard but.

yeah ricki will ttransform his career - just you wait!

He did it with Smeltz, he did it with Muscat, and even Dmac, now its time for a downey transformation.


P.S.- I'm just trying to keep the positivity going, its been far too angsty round here of late.

P.P.S- wonder what number he will pick up? Troy's 13? or perhaps that legendary number 10 no nix player has ever gone bad wearing that shirt

This is good due to:

1: We actually signed someone and it is a sign that we may not be broke

2: He has pace - sorely needed after losing rojas and hearfield

I heard rumour Siggy was convincing Nonu to be our attacking midfielder.

Apparently he's been crap for the Hurricanes, so is looking for a new career
