Well AFC had one year contracts with their imports and managed to have options.
Sure, why not. Why do you think Verstrate is still in the A league.
It’s not that hard this guys coming from Iraq, not Madrid. Wellington must almost be like a paradise.
And of course every pro has ambitions to play in the premier league and would consider the A league a stepping stone.
What pisses me off is he will probably end up in Australia at Western Sydney.ballane

Should have had an option in the clubs favour in his contract. Coming from Iraq he was always going to be boom or bust and Wellington would have been remarkably appealing by contrast to playing in Baghdad
Or maybe he chose wellington ahead of other options he had. Not sure why you think the club can put things in a players contract if he dosnt want them there. To Ezes credit he has been up front about his ambition to use this contract to put him self in the window and get a contract somewhere else.
