Just re-reading those stuff about ESC's and seems I misunderstood things originally. With the A-League moving up to Band 5, it removes the need for the international caps (which is how Paulsen can sign for Bournemouth I think). You just need to have played 5 A-League matches to qualify.
So Old should be sweet to sign for an English team, if any are interested.
