Despite what Gill said, feels like we need/could really benefit from an extra proven attacker even with a visa 9 and 10 with all the attacking players we lost and how young our attacking subs are.

4-3-1-2 with Waine/kiwi, import 10, import 9 in attack and Ishige, Rufer, Kazu midfield would be amazing. GSR and LBS can sub into the advanced midfield role Kazu and Ishige play to free up/rotate attacking subs for Walker and Supyk so the kids don't miss out too much.

Saying that, we've missed out on or not bothered signing the available good kiwis like Waine, De Jong, Stanger which is depressing and a bit worrying. The only kiwi players I can think of that are still available and good for this level are Bevan and Whyte who aren't very inspiring. Maybe we give Van Hattum another go if our import 9 is aerial?

After the disaster of last season you'd hope the club would do more to prevent it from happening again like what Perth is doing with their big signings.

Can't see this happening. He's just gone on their club page saying how great it is to move their etc. Then they loan him back to NZ... that'd be random as.

I hope we are chasing De Jeong and maybe even Dyer. 

Looks very much like ADJ is staying on at Stellenbosch in the PSL.
Whilst it seems Dyer is taking the cash in Cambodia.

As Gill said yesterday the Nix want that visa no 9. Then Supyk to kick on this season. That's why a loan deal for Waine doesn't make much sense (among other reasons). It would be too crowded up top - and potentially block Luke S's development.

All a bit moot, as everything points to Waineo not wanting to return to NZ anyway.

Waine would be great for that as he apparently plays better with a 2nd striker and can score at this level. 4-3-1-2 with Waine/kiwi, import 10, import 9 in attack and Ishige, Rufer, Kazu midfield would bring high attacking football. GSR and LBS can sub into the advanced midfield role Kazu and Ishige play to free up/rotate attacking subs for Walker and Supyk so the kids don't miss out too much.
