max1994 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 you maybe paid a little too much, but he's an established international at the peak of his career, and will make you a lot of money back in shirt sales.... in the long term, i'd say a good deal. $64 million i wish i had that much to spend i think the most i have evr spent is 1 milion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iacovone Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Can they cope with Rotunno and Cilona...How's the pride of New Zealand going these days? scoring more now? The 'pride' of NZ is doing ok in his 3rd season for us. Overall I'm still very disappointed in him, should have been something special! if iirc he was kicked ot on his arse during the big clearout.

rancer890 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Ok, we faced HSV again in Champions League qualifying, and we just narrowly beat them again on penalties.. (won away leg 2-0, then got beat 2-0 at home . Good thing my team is good at penalties...) My Champions League group consists of Lyon, Spartak Moscow, and Standard. We are now a 3rd seed.

Some people struggle with that don't you know :o TaylorB the great Ricki Kumar is still only 22 so I'm keen to hold onto him for as long as I can afford to have a 4th striker as a passenger really.

rancer890 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I thought we were going to lose out with the 2nd leg.
