I think he's good for his age, but from the things he (apparently) said about Wellington (that it's a shit place to live, basically) - I don't want him at the club. Of course, that is hearsay so I won't comment on it too much.
Without wanting too put too fine a point on it, it's not exactly a completely outrageous statement...
In terms of standard of living, Wellington and New Zealand in general is considered amongst the best in the world. What would he do if he got an offer to play for a club in the middle of Russia?
Depends where in Russia, One of the big cities would be great - the standard of living might not be high but if you have the money its very good. Moscow unofficially has around 15 million residents - its an amazing place which has the best and the worst in it. St Petersberg is stunning as is Novgorod - around Rostov on Don or Volgagrad would also be cool with the Caucasus mountains only a 12 hour train trip away.
The fact that its so different means that its an experience. I love spending time in Russia.
And also Wellington, despite being - as John Key puts it - a dieing city, consistently has the happiest and most satisfied residents in NZ. Plus we have a football club.
