MathyouWSW Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 DailyOzFootball is reporting they got 6 guys on trial at the moment: - Myer Bevan - Te Atawhai Hudson-Wihongi - Tim Payne - Joe Caletti - Xander Houtkoop - Alex Molano Bevan is a striker that was signed with Vancouver at one stage in his career and seems he got barely used. Went back to Western Springs AFC which is like 3rd tier NZ club. Hudson-Wihongi is a centre back that has pretty much played for Auckland City FC for almost all of his career. Payne is a midfield that played for the Blackburn Rovers youth squad and then went to Auckland City FC, tried his luck at Portland Timbers but was forever in their reserve squad. Houtkoop is a Dutch Winger that has spent majority of his career in Eredivisie playing with ADO Den Haag and then SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden (who are now relegated into 2nd division). Molano is an American attacking midfielder that played for 2nd tier Colorado Springs Switchbacks. That's the only info I could find from him. Overall, it seems they are just desperately trying to find players to fill in the gaps ASAP. Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
mack Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 They will probably be worse than the Mariners this year. Talay didn't show anything of promise when he was in charge of the Australian U20 side, and the fact they are trialling players means they are scraping the barrel in terms of foreigners.

This doesn't bother me a huge deal. Theres no loyalty in football anymore. Clubs and fans cant offer no loyalty but expect it in return. Players and coaches are free to look after themselves if they wish. I just want to see Rudan get slapped because he stalked, harrassed and abused Mel McLaughlin over the course of 12 months. So much so she walked away from the game DinoPresinger 1 Link to comment

Not a big fan of him recruiting Nix players for WU while still officially working for the Nix but I'm sure that sort of thing happens all the time in football. A bit scummy but I get it. However the suggestion that he sets up random social media accounts to abuse his critics is the interesting part for me, as this has come up before and also ties back in to the stalking stuff. Seems like a slightly unhinged guy who can't let things go. Edited October 8, 2019 by Davo ManfredSchaefer 1 Link to comment
mack Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Rudan was working for WU while he was getting paid by the Nix. It's garbage behaviour, morally bankrupt. He should have quit the Nix before he started undermining them by stealing their players. StringerBellend, DinoPresinger and ManfredSchaefer 3 Link to comment

Yeah...it's not so much the mechanics of his looking to go to another club that's the big issue, nor is it talking to players in the Nux squad about going with him (though Mack's right about how wrong that was). It's the way he has handled himself outside the confines of the changing sheds, away from player/coach/suits communication that is seriously fooked. His behaviour, assuming what he has been accused of is true, that should be the stuff that gets him called out. Imagine the blizzard of opprobrium that would come down on a fan or...even worse...a RBB or other active member operated in this way with a member of the media or with a club official.

Pup55 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Nix are getting their marquee man today at 3:00pm. Really building it up on social media and the whispers are he is absolute top quality. Hope for the sake of the League they get a good one. StringerBellend 1 Link to comment
Pup55 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Gary Hooper and Obafemi Martins are the two names I've just been told. Martins would be a huge name for the A League even if he is passed it. Plenty of us wanted Hooper in the off season too (Think @Taurus said his knees are no good). Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
