This is the last week of Kosta's contract. He also only has until the end of this week to trigger the automatic extension he has an option for. As such I think we can expect some news on him this week.
On the Football Fever podcast today Piney said he thought Waine might be going to AFC rather than the Nix, as he is such an obvious like-for-like replacement for Mata should Shrewsbury demand that he return to them, but he didn't seem to have any good reason for saying that other than that. Bonnie Janssen, unprompted, then declared she thinks Waine is better than Mata. Maybe not the wisest thing to say as a football journalist.
Can't remember if it was the Gill or Domey podcast interview but the question was asked whether we would be going after some All Whites out of contract in Europe and the answer was that the Nix had approached a player or players in that situation and their preference was to try and stay over there, and Waine must have been that player or one of those players. I'd be more gutted about Waine going to AFC than Kosta right now. Kosta has already proved himself to be an A-League mercenary.
