It's also a bit tricky for a Kiwis like Scimia if the Nix (NZ's only pro club) ever did make an approach, which wouldn't happen unless he was banging in a few Serie C goals anyway.
But he relocates all the way down here, it doesn't work out and he doesn't have much choice other than heading back up north again - Italy having been his home for what the last 5+ years. A little bit the same for any of those young ex Ole guys at Torslanda, Helsingor or wherever if the Nix ever comes with an offer, Academy or pro contract. Same again for those slightly older guys floating around the USL, always another US club to potentially move to in need.
But Aussies like Piscopo or Pennington, if it doesn't work out with the Nix, they have 11 other A League clubs that might make them an offer, as non visa players. If you are a half decent, cheap young Aussie, CCM will always be interested! So they can uproot from Europe, with a bit of a security blanket if it doesn't work out in Wellington.
