Piscopo will get interest from all A League clubs, and so he should. He's an Aussie, so doesn't take an import spot and can be a game changer/winner.

Would be surprised if we kept him, a lot will depend on his relationship with Talay. Sotorio going won't help either as the two of them are very close, so Wellington would have looked a healthier option for him, had they both been here etc.

Hope he goes to Europe if he doesn't stay.

Would like him to stay but not convinced he is the best use of the money he would cost us. He has spent large parts of the last two season injured on the sidelines. Yes he scored a belter last nite but at times this season his contribution has been under whelming. He is one of those players who grabs peoples attention for the good things he does sadly those things dont happen either consistently or often enough.

Absolutely agree, would be costing what the phoenix would consider Aussie marquee level money to convince him to stay, and while he's brilliant at times it's too inconsistent for what we need him to be.

Piscopo will be near impossible to replace with a non visa player though. There ain't many young creative Aussie/NZ players like him around. Esp still in the ALM, and willing to come to NZ.

Still Talay will have 2 (maybe 3) visa spots to fill, with Hooper going and who knows Sandoval.

And lets face it a Nix team with Davila, and mid season arrivals Hemed & Taylor didn't make the finals. Yet this team with lesser quality imports, and more injury outs has. Strange season indeed.
