WPM 2024/25 Squad Speculation, Confirmation and Mutual Termination

Might be a sign of holding Foord back a bit, and taking a punt on a guy that's also highly rated and might work out. Remember Paulsen didn't make his WeeNix debut until he was 18-and-a-half, being stuck behind Zac Jones and Zac Dean despite being massively rated years prior.

FWIW - I'm unsure if Boon's is a scholarship or academy deal!

Rojas is a rusty 32-year-old who has run out of options overseas - for him it's Auckland, Wellington or bust. As long as his salary and contract length expectations recognise that ... maybe? Perhaps a 1+1 contract?

He's worth a foreign spot in any A-League team.

Foord's development will have been stymied by this injury whatever it is. Still hasn't played for the Weenix in Central League from what I can see.

With the way the Nix play, Chief, Griffiths and Parker will be very fixed on the skill set they are looking for. We can only guess that they have identified Boon as a good bet on fitting that mould. 

NZ's a small pond, Parker has been the NZ U17s GK coach the last 4 years. He will know all the standout NZ keepers in that 17-20 age group well.

If the yearly central distribution has been slashed to a smidge over $500,000 for 24/25, then you'd imagine there is going to be a lot of young faces being given the opportunity.

Hopefully we've been able to hang on to Kraev, but it's not filling me with confidence given this terrible news today.
