I think the signings of FOUR Brazilians is a wise move by Ricki Herbert from four angles as it........

1) virtually assures the Phoenix of vital cultural & communal support for each individual player as they settle into life in a new country.

2) gives the Phoenix a refreshing point of difference in a burgeoning & increasingly competitive A-League copetition that NZ teams have hitherto floundered in.

3) creates a tremendous opportunity for NZ football to learn a new STYLE of play at first hand from these Brazilians (the All Blacks of the beautiful game) that can only enrich our own soccer culture & outlook further.

4) strengthens the goal-scoring potential of this team to an exciting level ..... something the Kingz & Knights failed to explore successfully in years past.

...........& could even in time prove a masterstroke! ......certainly one I intend to observe closely & am excited about!

It's awesome how we signed Daniel for 2. He, to me, looks the most promising out of the lot.

So now we are approaching last game of pre-season at least Daniel & Cleberson have displayed their class in these games. For those who have been fortunate enough to see trainings I'm told that Felipe could be as good which looks likely to be a 75% strike ....but what about George? ....further comments now?

i settle for any goals really considering the lack weve seen from the knights last season
