Interesting... Back three of who?

We've had quite a few players come and go in pre season with national duty for our young players (the disasterous olympic qualifiers), the hong kong soccer sevens tournament, the trip to Fiji, etc. But its been Sigmund, Durante, and either Muscat or Gulley.

Ernies formations tend to be very fluid though.

They are hoping to sign a striker next week. So much for Barton. :lol:

Simon Hampton @SimonHampton9
Sources: Phoenix get their man. Striker a done deal. Confirmation pending medical after arrival in Wellington. Likely next week.

But really though, my money is on Jeffrey Sarpong. I'm basically willing this into existence because he's friends with Roly on twitter.

Sarpong is not a striker. He's an attacking midfielder who hasn't scored many goals at all.

Burns wasn't a striker either.

Phoenix have said they have nothing to do with the broadcast deal

Please just bugger off, your not welcome here.

It's been mentioned Wellington are signing a striker.

Sarpong has never scored more than 2 goals in a season. 11 in total in all competitions since 2006.

Yep, what Ernie said is that all the strikers we've looked at have wanted a mill or more so he's looking for a player that has the skills to fit in with the team and who he can convert into a goal scoring player. This guy has a pretty bad ratio though.

How much is the FFA putting into advertising game in NZ? 0
Are clubs expected to negotiate TV deals? No
Are the NRL and the A-League in any way comparable in terms of TV audience/amount of games/advertiser attraction? No
Do the NRL support the Warriors better than the FFA supports the Nix? Yes
Are you a moron? Absolutely

Shouldn't any money pitched in by sky NZ be seen as bonus cash? Seeing as though the fox deal covers the cap etc

international as in capped by his county?? Ive heard it was McFadden

The thing is this, you and your friends are like anoying flies that buzz around whenever the Phoenix are mentioned (You'll be happy with the analogy because it essentially refers to the Phoenix as shit).

It's tedious. We know what you think so its pointless saying it again, unless your intention is to be obnoxious.

If you're going to insult someone or tell them to fuck off, make sure you're doing it in a grammatically correct manner. Seriously.

Good point.

We have had HAL commercials on tv here.

Told you i was right
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/459108/West-Ham-Slaven-Bilic-wasn-t-fan-power-that-stopped-Joey-Barton-signing

Right about what?

They certainly need a good striker, without a suitable replacement for Burns they may struggle to make top 6 - each HAL season normally has one or two from the previous top 4 struggling to repeat their previous seasons form, assuming Victory and the Smurfs stay up there that puts Nix and Adelaide in the frame, both have had significant losses

I said bugger off, not fuck off; I often write on a mobile phone, so sorry about the grammar.

I'm starting to think it might've been guyon and then perth beat them to it.. I don't know why they haven't announced it yet?

Adelaide have lost Boogaard, Mabil, Watson and Izzo and gained La Rocca, Mells and Babalj. The last gain might out weigh the losses by himself if he has a really good season.

This.

Plus, if they use the loyalty spot for Galekovic, they've got a marquee spot open.

According to a local football journalist last week the Phoenix got the person that they wanted subject to a physical that will happen next week.
