Competition for the signature of Stan Lazaridis is really heating up, with the New Zealand Knights reportedly set to offer the flyer a whopping (by A-League standards) $350,000 per year contract.
Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne have all been linked with Lazaridis at some point in the last six months, but until the Knights deal surfaced it appeared that Newcastle were leading the race to sign him. With expensive Newcastle striker Ante Milicic still in talks with Queensland (who don't necessarily want him, given that a deal with former Cameroon international Patrick Suffo is also on the cards), it seems that the Jets will struggle to come up with a deal for Lazaridis comparable to the one offered by the Knights.
The proposed offer represents more than 20% of the Knights' $1.6 million salary cap for 2006-07.

Stan will bring a spark to Perth Glory, unseen since their Champrionship years and moreover a spark to the A-league in general.
