Danny Allsopp would be great though (as much as I hate him when he's wearing Navy Blue!)

sorry, i meant id fancy he'd be the one to not be getting any game time.

I agree, I think he shows patches of class- start of last season I think, but does fall off. But he has pace. Not sure whether he is more of a winger or a striker, but think he will be one of the first to realise he aint gonna be getting game time

I'm not sure about Tim Payne. If you were going to go for a really young guy, I think Carmichael is the much better long term prospect. Just going on u17 games, but he was creative and seemed most naturally confident.

Mateja Kezman?

"On 31 August 2011, free agent Ke�man signed with Belarusian club BATE Borisov as a temporary solution for the injury crisis plaguing the forwards of the Belarusian team.[19] His contract will be until the end of the year 2011 with the option for an extension."

If you ask anyone who has seen a fair bit of that u17 team they will tell you Payne is the stand out. He would be a good signing, afterall there is a good reason blackburn are looking at him. He might not be A-League standsrd yet but it doesn't take a genius to work out that he would improve massively being in a pro environment from day to day.

Fuck this stupid game

You think he'd give up on playing in the Champions League to come here?

Plus he's a donkey.

Wouldn't be any less bizarre than playing for South China.

Three for me, and two for them.

His agent was sniffing around the A-League in June plus he's only on a short term contract in Belarus...

Who's "we"? Lloyd Morrison has $305 million, and it may well be that Ricki is writing check against it "in advance", as it were.

That was from twitter- from a Hungarian source which seemed reliable, but did state that it was speculation rather than him guarnteed to be coming down.

Last time I checked, Lloyd Morrison didn't own the Phoenix?

Has the length of time we've been trialling players unusual? I can understand the period it took before we signed Sanchez, due to his injury, but Thurtell and Bran (has he gone?) seem to have been trialling a while. Or is it normal for a trial to go for so long without a player either getting signed or getting the flick?

i think the nix often have guys train with them- which can be classed as a trial. I think someone like thurtell hasnt got anywhere else better to be, so why not train with a pro club and try and impress.

Bran hasnt been around much iirc, hes been popping back to melbourne. I think the club have told him they know what he will bring, and they are just considering their options so he was free to go back home.



Anyway, did we have any theories on this 'ivorian' striker??

Would fit the bill.


Also, for lols, Didier Drogba has a brother who is also a striker and has no club(hasnt had one for a few years though)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo%C3%ABl_Drogba

But all seriousness, my bet is on this Serge Djiehoua guy..
 
I must confess I had a wee hunt around yesterday, this was the best candidate I found.
 
But was that really what the clue was suggesting? Someone from Cote D'Ivoire? Such a tease.
