Lava lava.
Sounds the 5th & last visa signing (marquee?) may not be far away.
Both Kiwi clubs now basically with full squads, all starting to look real.

Also revealed was Auckland FC’s first home kit, to be worn during the 2024/25 A-League Men’s season. Go Media have signed on as a kit sponsor for the away shirt after becoming a foundation media partner.
I do really like the inverted logo though. Hoping for something similar on our away kit.

Fornaroli, a forward who is about to begin his 10th campaign in Australasia with Melbourne Victory after previously playing for Melbourne City and Perth Glory, has set the benchmark for Uruguayan visa signings in A-League Men, scoring 107 times in 187 appearances as well as becoming an Australian international.
He also had a stint at Danubio as a youngster and arrived in A-League Men as a 28-year-old having scored 28 goals in 129 senior league matches. May, by comparison, has scored 21 in 123 and is 18 months younger.
The forward will be one of two attacking visa players deployed by Auckland in their first season, with the other, a winger, signed but still to be announced.

They head to Melbourne on Thursday for pre-season friendlies against Melbourne City and Western United and are likely to announce their final signing while in Australia.

Or are we completely in the dark other than them being a winger?
Also as of yet zero linkage between the visa signings made and the Foley Group of clubs. Though of course yes, is Paulsen on loan.
The dream is Ivan Perisic.
Realistic is Nacer Chadli.
The promise was that the marquee slot would be used so I think its possibly a biggie.
My original pick was Marc Albrighton (who has since retired), so i got the position right at least.
I think Chadli would be underwhelming if you're an Auckland fan. Dude is getting on a bit and no goals for Westerlo last season. If WSW are getting Juan Mata under the cap, how much do you pay Chadli realistically (and sensibly). Could be wrong, but it reeks of Nani performance but without the pedigree and hype
Still on contract but may be the kind of profile they are looking at
This would be the perfect signing in terms of age, calibre and profile. You’re right though, there doesn’t appear to be many other free agents who would be considered a marquee level signing.

Some great comments about Chadli's play and his apparently fantastic character/work ethic from Westerlo fans though. Could do worse than him, especially with the experience he brings. Going off these comments, he seems like the guy that would actually give a shark coming to this league

You’re a baggie? Curious to know whether you are from there or just happened to pick them as a team to support?
Don’t find many baggies in NZ is all. I only know of one other and he happens to be my best mate.

Transfer window is closed, it's free agents or amateurs only until it re-opens.

Is it possible they've confirmed the signing and have everything registered with the APL but are waiting a bit to announce it? Not sure if they're allowed to do that or not.
Obv doesn't apply if he is a free agent, whoever it is
Just waiting a couple of days to announce a marquee after the three imports before.

What makes you suggest him?
New Zealand Football and Wellington Phoenix have today announced a significant talent development partnership to support the growth and progression of the next generation of Kiwi players.
New Zealand Football are also in discussions on a talent development partnership with Auckland FC that would further strengthen talent development across the country.
“With two A-League clubs now in New Zealand, there is an opportunity to ensure our professional academies are accessible and present the best opportunities towards a professional pathway for talented young players in Aotearoa.
Was already a tough task trying to bring some of my Eurosnobbiest mates along to games. Was bigging up some marquee names as possibilities. Foley's got enough money to burn a hole in his pocket, surely he can spare a few marquee dollars?

He's a smart business operator, he's not about to throw big cash to attract old stars from another league unless he absolutely knows it will pay off.
Of course I won't go with them because the T-AFC crew will need my help, lol
