De Vries is too old for a fee-paying move. He may start getting big wage offers from Asia as he nears the end of his contract (which expires at end of next season).

Rogerson the only player off contract at season's end for AFC other than Paulsen who they'll not want to lose. Interesting that there was no question or comment in the article about Logan in Stuff the other day regarding the prospect of him staying at AFC next season... must be keeping his options open with an eye on perhaps shooting back overseas.

Pijnaker is the only Kiwi that I could see fee offers being made to AFC to sign him. The most annoying thing to me as an All Whites fan and Nix fan who instinctively despises AFC is that they don't even have really exciting Kiwi youngsters shining for them (other than Paulsen). Nothing close to the levels of Cacace, Singh, Old, Surman. Would be easier to not resent their success if they had a kid like that breaking through who was clearly destined for much better things. 
AFC have literally just entered the league. They're not going to have "exciting" young players immediately when they've only just established a Reserves team. It to the Nix several years to get that and then to start churning them out more regularly like the names you've mentioned. What a ridiculous statement.
