As unlikely as it would be to happen, from that list I'd take Fabio Ferreira or Fahid Ben Khalfallah as an equal or near enough replacement for Bonevacia, even if they play in differing positions. I'm not necessarily looking at positional equivalent, more an X factor type player which I believe these two are.
Khalfallah has some years on him (34), but has the quality, good control, great touch and vision, could be worth a 1+1 if we chucked some money at him? I don't know his situation in Melbourne, if I remember he was unsettled at having a contract issue earlier this season, not sure how that's ended up?
Ferreira - 27, fast and technically very good, apparently a naturalised Aussie now so wouldn't count against the import quota, consistent performer with both Adelaide and Central Coast over the years.
There are others on that list that I'd love to take, but in reality, we'd have a shark show in hell of bringing someone like Bobo to Wellington.
There was a rumour that Khafallah wasn't being played because he was one game short of an automatic extension but then injuries and a bad run of form forced Muscats hand and he was played, obviously I have no idea how true that is. He's also talked many times about how much he loves the city of Melbourne and Victory and he wants one more season and then to retire, my guess is he'd retire if Victory don't extend his contract one more year. Also, we don't have a casino.
