Obviously it's a crazy situation but I'm really encouraged by Woodsy getting so vocal about it early on. It would be very easy for him to sit back take his pay cheque and hop on a flight to Doha to sort it out against Tahiti in the finals come the time. But coming out and making a statement like this shows he's still got a lot of passion for All Whites football. Could signal if push comes to shove in March he might have enough chutzpah to say to Burnley something along the lines of "I've given this you guys my best over the years. A world cup. This is something I want. Let's come to an agreement."
