Marketing FC idea:
Wu Lei brings in the Chinese market and is genuinely good.
Chhangte brings in the Indian market.
Songkrasin brings in the Thai/SE Asian Market.
Francis Mac Allister brings in some name recognition (brother of Alexis) and Argentinian active support from Waiheke.
Phil Jones brings in the eurosnobs and gives Auckland a Steven Taylor style cult figure.
Probably wayyyy outside the salary cap but you do get 2 marquees and 2 designated players ($300k - $600k outside the cap).
Jones and Wu Lei marquees, Rojas and Songkrasin designated, Mac Allister and Chhangte within the cap.
Tuiloma can take a paycut since he’s not playing much these days.
