With Kosmina's coaching future in limbo until Adelaide officials make a final decision on who will lead the side in the new season the Reds recruiting drive is dormant.
Kosmina was adamant he was not making any decisions on finding players suited to Adelaide's future squad.
But he said Levchenko, 34, may not be offered an extension to his current one-year contract.
I like Lev, but I'm personally not really sad if he left. He was a decent player but IMO Malik is very similar except he is 10 years younger and an Aussie. So why waste a visa spot on someone you can cover?
Personally I really hope AU doesn't try and get another visa player it seems insane that the club is trying to save money at every chance they can but they pay him not to play ACL. We should just stick to the 3+1 rule so we're not in this pickle again.
Thanks Lev I hope you stick around in Australia you certainly are a character! I can see him loving Melbourne. He should join Heart!
