These are his last 4 seasons.ย 130 games - 12 goals/10 assists. With the minutes he's played it's the equivalent of 65 full games he's logged.
Alright, fair play in that he's had a long and half decent career with a bit of success, but he's 33 now, and as we've seen over the last little while we're likely to move away from these type of signings in the A-League going forward. Macarthur of course are trying to build a 'presence' so they're probably thinking someone like this might give them a bit of x-factor, get crowds in, generate a bit of interest etc etc.
Goals/90 of 0.18 (let's call it 1 in 5) in the last four season against a career average of about double that at 0.35. No resale value.
Sure he might get a few in a league not as hotly contested as the environment he would have faced in France, but to me, a signing like that is just a wee bit of risky business.
