Most likely the defenders that will move to different clubs, as they played very well. The strikers.....not so much


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Kiwi's Cup Campaign Opens Doors?
SEVERAL All Whites could be set for transfers to top European clubs following New Zealand's unexpected success at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Have your say.

I guess it is the same for Aus, is there a similar monitoring of players that may be able to declare for Aus?


Sort of, we got Neil Kilkenny by chance in 2006 thanks to Stan Lazaridis and most of the boys we know of leave here mid-teens to have a crack at Europe (a few went to Sth America a few years ago but haven't heard much from there since), so we know who they are in essence.

Only real loss I would say has been Christian Vieri, who was raised here and maybe the Croatian boys of Simunic, Didiluca and Seric but besides that, we know of most players in the system as such.

Without being officially in the 'loop' someone else here may have a better answer for you.


I'd hardly say Vieri was a loss. He was here for a few years as a kid when his dad was playing for Marconi. He was more interested in cricket than football when he was here anyway.
