Not keen to go through that Rojas/Judus business again, too painful.
Glad we've learnt some lessons from our previous youth mismanagement.

opinion piece from Andrew Gourdie
Right on cue. So predictable.
Has TVNZ done a "We were with Fenton right from the start" piece yet?
It would no doubt be reported on by Stanaway: "We went to visit Louis in deepest Tawa. We got lost and ended up in Newlands. We had to call the police because those dodgy locals were looking at us (and our hub caps) funny. Luckily a kindly gent from J'ville escorted us out. I was right scared and they weren't even black."
LF=SB
Those who have seen him play more then once are better qualified to comment but watching him play I gained the impression that he is not merely a winger (even though he did pretty well) but may be best suited to playing in the hole just behind the front two?
Hmmmmm..seem him play three times so not a lot. Personally I think he is suited to wide left given he cuts in most times. He does track back and build from there but I dont see centre mid distribution in his game yet. I was pleased when he took on the fullback more on the outside in the second half. A top talent tho and brilliant vision for the goal.
He did look to come inside and try to find the ball, something Rojas could learn from.
Its great to see, a future forward line of
Rojas Fenton
Wood Barbs
is pretty exciting. Barbs would be the oldest at 23??
Now if we could only find a world class NZ CM we would be set. (Mclinchey just hasn't done it for me yet, and Keats still finding his way professionally.)
Yeah unlike Marco who probably should stay out wide, Fenton's game would work in the middle of the park. He is strong enough, quick enough and has good vision. Maybe play him central if we ever go to a 4231 / 433
Fenton has played in the middle a lot and does prefer to play there I believe.
29% now
Agree, but can we keep him?
If we found him, surely we can keep him.
We've got him for 3 years so he aint going to any other a-league side anytime soon - and if he was to leave to a foreign league then we would get some $$$
We have the contract - what out clause is in only time will tell.

Don't forget the part where he interviews a local and asks condescending questions like "so have you ever actually met someone wearing a shirt before? Can I buy your house with these shiny beads?"
Out clause? Would think the only way out inside 3 years is by someone meeting our (rapidly rising) price for him.
If we found him, surely we can keep him.
But we pay our bills now

Too early to be talking about bids...
However, it does seem like the A League is looked at a little more now than when it first started. This should good better with the games now shown in Italy, including the finals, so if he has a stellar year who knows.
Wonder what his price tag would be.... 300,000NZ - The value of his contract for the next 3 years plus a bit extra??
please note, his real price tag is .... priceless : )

Fenton giving big ups to Ifill*heart emoticon*.
I think that the two best foreign signings the club has made are Greenie and Ifill - both on the field and off. Professional and nice people (and that goes for their partners too).
My only regret is that C-Diddy made the Grennie-Ifill club sandwich first.
Got a bit greedy today heading towards the box from midfield...Needed to give it to Stein (underutilised and frustrated.) on the edge.

I think this guy is a fantastic prospect. One of the best.
Bertos and Marco fell into the trap of always trying to beat the man to do something for the highlight reels. Ifill can be guilty of the same at times.
I agree Fenton should take his chances to shoot, but not when another player was in a better position to shoot.
Did a bit too much today at times, whereas last week he seemed to make the best decision every time. But showed class also at times and is clearly a player with x factor and multiple strings to his bow.
i dont mean EVERY TIME, if theres a blatantly obvious opening to another player then you would be a mug not to take it. Hes more confident than most are at taking players on and he should keep it up
I'm disappointed that a young kid in his second A league game after only a few months of FT professional training and under pressure following an outstanding debut in front of his home town surrounded by experienced colleagues failed to back up under very different circumstances in a ridiculously inexperienced team epically failed to make the right decision 100% of the time.
It's just not good enough.
I want more.
Sack Louie.
