May be off topic, but here is an interesting bit from the A-League website on available players:

"Sergio Van Dijk has already been a smash hit in the A-League, scoring 50 goals in 105 appearances for Brisbane and Adelaide respectively. Will be a free agent this month when his deal at Thailand club Suphanburi ends."

I've always assumed his contract in Thailand runs until middle of this year. 

OK so he is not a visa-free player, and is likely to be expensive. But who knows.

I would compare him at his current age and speed (and experience) to someone like Smeltz rather than Henrique.

Would tick a "metric" box with FFA for us.

He's off contract as Thai season runs from Feb to whenever they get round to finishing (this year Dec). He's not in Supanburi's plans for next season, despite being the club's top scorer, netting 14 times for them (8th-best in League). A shame he's an import, & we'd need to sack one of the current bunch or naturalise Riera to fit him in (does Roy's injury open a door here?). On the plus side, he'd qualify as Asian, enabling us to have 3+1 on the pitch
