huge opportunity for Rufer, no sure what Coventry have seen that most of us havent, but I'd be happy to receive a fee for him and see him gone. 

He's the most unfairly maligned Nix player since Vinnie. He's definitely got his limitations, but he's not the absolute waste of space that Facebook fans (and some on here) would have you believe. 

Would be sorry to see him go, he's a great rotation option but hard to say no if someone wants to pay money for him!
He's fine as a starter not just a rotation option and a versatile player, remember he even played as striker for the All Whites at one stage.

I wonder if losing him will make us reconsider Ridenton as a depth option.

Wasn't Ridenton one of the players recently announced as being released?
Yep, but at that point we presumably weren't expecting championship teams to be looking at Rufer.

That would be a pretty sharkty conversation: 
"Hey Matt, I know we said we weren't interested but now, well you know, now that Alex could be leaving do you think you'd mind signing a deal where we keep you if he does go, but if he stays, well you know we probably wont need you"
Cant see the nix doing it or Matt accepting it.
Nah, only call if the deal is done and really what options does he have? You'd expect his days of being a foreign signing for another A-League club are done for now so it's a semi-pro club either in NZ or overseas. 

Don't expect it to happen though.
