    No big names yet, but some Kiwis have signed.

    Auckland FC have contracted three fringe All Whites and an under-23 international as the new A-League club’s first signings.
    The Black Knights unveiled goalkeeper Michael Woud, 25, fullback Francis de Vries, 29, midfielder Cameron Howieson, 29, and forward Jesse Randall, 21, at Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter on Thursday.

    Seen some speculation that they've got 14 players signed and are planning to slowly announce names over the next few weeks.

    Howieson was a perennial subject of phoenix rumours and speculation, so looking forward to seeing how he goes in the a league.

    No Aussies or imports yet, so probably saving them for last. Corica will be tapping into the Sydney football market.

    Enjoyed that, haven't really followed the A League since the Knights folded in 2007.

    Nice to have a local team to support.

    @African-Monkey I'm not a football guy but even I might follow them. Especially since they play in Ponsonby Rugby colors!

    Must've been a lot of unused freebies in that 'sold out' crowd.

    Great to see Akl back in the A League but it was a hard watch at times. Pretty low standard of football.

    The A League must be no stronger than the English 3rd division

    I haven't watched much A League TBH but I would say Saturday's game was mid League 2 standard. Maybe the top sides would be League 1 I can't really comment - but hey the Fern....

    Yeah, would compare it to league 1. I went to a league 1 game earlier in the season (Charlton v Leyton Orient), it was probably the same standard style wise, maybe slightly better than that but not much better.

    Mid league 2 standard is a lot worse than that haha.

    I loved the Phoenix's fly-by sign over Mt Smart.
