No thanks.
He is really struggling in a league Sean Devine
dominated.

Would Rory Fallon count as a Kiwi or an import?
Normo's coming home

Kiwi probably as I think he was born here - pity they can't get him
for the All Whites. Doubt he'll come just yet - playing in the
Championship for Plymouth - he'll be earning big wedge and he's
climbing the leagues.

I'm Pretty sure he counts as English not Kiwi. He wouldnt want to
come here now. Didn't Plymouth have a pretty good cup run this year
aswel.

Yeah they did well then got knocked out by Watford a lovely volley
by Bouazza.
Theyre going quite well in the championship too, placed around
10th on the table. Rory has only scored 1 goal in his 9
appearances.

Archie Thomson's a Kiwi - at least he was born in Auckland!!!!

Thanks for beating me with the correction there my Hard man. I was
debating whether or not to jump in and make the correction myself
but I held off as I figured you'd put the record straight.
Otorohanga is no where near Auckland and not everyone in the
country was born
in Auckland..... Jezus.

Plymouth had a great cup run but Rory was cup tied after having
played for Swansea in the comp. I'm still pretty sure we'd get away
with him as a kiwi player. Born here, passport holder - what more
would he need?

The money....could the Phoenix manage to reimburse him the same or
more than what he is hauling out of Plymouth? If Argyle paid near
on a million dollars to Swansea to sign him, you'd think they would
have tied him down to a reasonable contract.
Yes, he'd be classed as a local, and yes he'd be a valuable
asset to the team and yes I'd love to see him play for us
too.
The main problem I see in Wellington attracting back our
better players is $$$$. I don't see how we can match what they are
earning in Europe and it is very rare these days for people to
leave a job and go to another one for less wedge.

Anyone want Shane Smeltz?
just thought I would resurrect this thread..
I aint see the whole game yet. Saw the last quarter at home
after none of the pubs would show the game in Wellie, inlcuding the
Welsh bar which really sucks. Made sure I gave them an
earfull.

You won't get Fallon. You are dreaming. He was on big money at
Swansea and will be on even more at Argyle. He has a Kiwi passport
so would be eligible, although he is apparently ineligible for the
All Whites because he played under-age for England and had
until he was 21 to switch loyalties which he didn't do.
He made no effort to switch, and New Zealand has made no
effort to get him for the national team - although I'm sure they
could get a dispensation, Ben Thatcher played under-21s for England
and didn't switch to Wales until he was in his late 20s.
Fallon scored some great goals for the Swans but not enough of
them for the money they forked out. His loss wasn't lamented.
