Talking of Nelsen, watching Siggy recently he reminds me a lot of Nelsen (apart from Siggy's need to do the chicken dance when his elbows a near some aussie toser). Very passionate, heart on sleeve, body on the line. Siggy for Vice Captain.
Need to resign Manny. Im sure we'll be truly f**ked if we dont. And extend Smith's contract. Very versatile IMO>
If Daniels not an import, who are our imports (im sure this is an old question) and how many are we using (considering Smith is injury cover so isnt counted at the moment)

Nelsen at RB and Manny into midfield?
In the past he has mentioned going back to the States after his playing days are over, so if the MLS links are true, we might be down the list of destinations. But I would play a back 3 if we had a fit Nelsen.

I'm probably alone, but I think his best days are now behind him. I think a decent goalscorer is more important for us than signing Nelsen.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Why do people talk about Lochhead as a wingback whenever this 3-5-2 formation gets talked about? I must admit that really gets up my nose when I see him listed as a left half because he is so far from it. When he gets too far forward, he is terrible at tracking back
Play a winger or a left half but not Lochhead in that position!!

Good to see dura on another 3 years!!! Thats a long contract. Please sign muscat! Local marquee if necessary! He's worth whatever some asian club will pay, offer him everything the maid, the driver, he'll i'll do those if it'll keep him on even one more year. He is irreplaceable.

I just can't believe how gutted I'd be in Manny left. Rojas, Smeltz and Mckain leaving, would not even be close as to how bad I'd feel if Manny goes.
It would be slightly less painful if he went to a decent league a long way away but only slightly less.

Good idea, who's going to do one? Needs to be short and simple.

Is there anywhere on this forum or elsewhere that lists all the players and how much left on their contracts. Would be keen to see this info for Nix, as well as the others if it's around.
This is a pretty good round up of contracts:https://sfcu.com.au/smf111/index.php?topic=18937.0

Good news (touch wood) this morning on stuff...
Coach Ricki Herbert said the club would start conversations with Sanchez � who is in red-hot goalscoring form � and his agent on Monday.
Muscat, who was plucked out of Victorian Premier League obscurity by the Phoenix, has established himself as one of the toughest tacklers in the league, and Herbert hoped he would re-sign within seven days.
"Manny is very close and hopefully we can get some common ground, which I'm anticipating," Herbert said.
"He has [got other offers], he's come from nothing to putting himself in the shop window so that's credit to him, he's done a great job for us.
"Hopefully we can retain his services here."
See: https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/6223626/Phoenix-target-two-more-as-Durante-in-bagIncredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.
Phoenix fans. We have to win them over one fan at a time.

not sure that 'telling Manny what to do' is the best way to help it happen
just a pro-Manny chant sang loudly might be the best bet
edit - of course the risk here might lie in trying to 'tell people what not to do' tigers2012-01-07 10:36:17

Would not mind seeing Muscat follow the Ogmonster and Matt Simon one day if he wanted to, especially if we got a transfer fee. He is easily good enough. Would be gutted if he went to another HAL club though.
Important then that we sign him up. Did we actually get a $1.5 million fee for McKain when he went to Saudi Arabia?
Also leaving like that like you said is 'better' than him leaving for another HAL club. See Marco, see Smeltz. Not so much Kosta though.
