We're probably right up near the top of the perch in terms of facilities now that we're based out of NZCIS. If we can get our youngsters coming through, making an impact, and moving on through to overseas clubs for solid fees, then we have the template to really develop as a top notch line of talent.
Not perfect by any means, but it will be interesting to see how we manage when the likes of an Auckland entity come sauntering in to play down the line.
Victory have 3 visa players on contract for this season currently.
Gabriel Sloane-Rodrigues is our star 15 year old (overseas sale potential down the line, imo) and I hope he's in consideration. No reserves appearances yet unfortunately
Hopefully it means he’s happier and starts a scoring spree. Just a pity the games are so far away…

Adam Clayton (34) - only 34 games in PL. Born in Manchester and came up through the Man City Academy with Bally. Was with Bradford in League 2 until he transferred to 5th tier Rochdale last month.
That's all I could find haha.
Yeah if we sign Mutch I’m gonna be so disappointed. Doesn’t seem he’s done anything since leaving them.
Maybe need some detective work on Balls Instagram following on who’s a free agent

Seriously: well done Fin, keep your nose clean from now on

Bit of a long shot, but could it be Danny Drinkwater? He and David Ball follow eachother on Instagram, and he has 104 EPL appearances according to TransferMarkt. Free agent at the moment after most recently playing for Chelsea and Reading.
Not saying it is him, but he's the only player I could find who fits all the criteria.

Yeah I was thinking him but the appearances threw me off. I’m a leicester fan too so it would be amazing for us to sign a former fox.
but Drinkwater is probs the one player I wouldn’t want us to sign he’s really gone off the boil these last few years. A lot of the clubs he’s played for have said he’s been terrible and he’s had a few incidents iirc I think one of them was punching a youth kid in a friendly?? So idk if he’ll fit in with the culture we want.

I dunno. We never usually get quality players available at our price without there being a reason. Might be away from the British press and public he might enjoy the pace of Australasian life and football. That’s on the transfer staff to figure that out. We’ve already got Wootton as a stable force at the back. If he can play in the midfield or at the back and make it happen for us I’m keen. If he can is another question. But guess we’ll see.
And yeh welcome Finn. Everyone is rating you so sounds decent. Don’t mind a combative midfielder, but if you have to say something learn a few new words from the boys. Or even the classic Connollyism ‘Gettyfueybasa!’

With him serving a 10 game ban is there anything that says what matches these apply too? Do the reserve games count or is it just first team games?
Conchie’s ban will run through to October, preventing him from making his Phoenix debut in Friday’s Australia Cup round of 32 clash away to NPL Queensland club Peninsula Power.
