Is this the South American?
I thought I read that we had put an offer in for Christian Rodriguez. Or was I dreaming?
You were dreaming. That was a twitter post based on a list of players being shopped around the HAL once the WC finished.
We were never linked with him.
Nah stubbins has said the South American forward has played for his country a handful times and has pace and power. Flores hasn't played international footballQuote:

Would have been interesting if we had picked up Ambrose instead, but with Flores we know we are getting a quality #10.
We know hes quality, signed under the cap, 1 yr deal, 28years old. Great signing.
Finally we have a few quality players in our lineup since season 2/3.
So right now we're at 21 players, the new striker puts us at 22. Then we most likely lose Taggart and Birraz, it looks more likely that we're keeping Brillante out of those three. So, we then have another potential three players we could sign up assuming that's how the off-season plays out
if we keep taggart. We're gonna have to bench Carney or Griff
Or move Carney to left back to fit all of them in the team

Good competition for places is what we need, plus the usual injuries that happen
Errr Mr Furns, you realise this is the Jets right?Quote:

Harold is older and I don't think has the potential Taggart did. We had a kid with fantastic potential but we decided to not play him and let him leaveQuote:

Harold is 1 year older than Taggz. My point was we won't be replacing Taggz with a gun striker.Quote:

if flores is fit then i'm quite pleased with his signing.
his last few seasons haven't been his best but we all know what he can do.
big phil with the clear mandate to change the way this club has been heading
the end of mindless athleticism
SO his Chinese club got rid Victree got rid Gypos didn't sign him.Quote:

Yet good old Newy sign everyone else trash
We swooped FFS
The bloke has been available for months.No other club wanted him.
Face facts the bloke has done nothing bar a small period 4years ago. To say he is a quality signing is taking the piss
Birraz wasn't fazed by this at all.Quote:
