Maybe this is a defeatist attitude but if this contract doesn't work out I'd come back home to the A League. He'll be 28 when it expires, in his footballing prime. I'd rather see him be one of the best players in the a league than see him struggle from club to club in Europe. Obviously I'd love him to come back to us one day, but even to see him on top of his game at victory again would make me happy for him. Just want to see him do well at the end of the day
I agree, he's got talent so he should be starting somewhere. Fairly sure this period sitting on the bench can't have been a lot of fun.
When he came back to the A-League for his second stint he was probably too good for the league and given his age it made sense to head back overseas. He needs to find somewhere he can regularly play football at a good level
