That was my initial concern when the chinese visa idea was originally floated, does this kid get priority over adelaide kids or is he just another member of the team fighting for a position?So if the owners are looking to turn this into a money spinner, can we expect them to try and influence selections to get this kid on the park and in the shop window?
For all the really positive things that have gone on in the offseason, this seems like a fairly sizeable misstep on face value.
I agree with blah blah, its worth waiting to see how this plays out before deciding. Im not sure the owners would have wasted the opportunity and sent a lowly rated player in their system over here. He is here because someone believes this kid can be an asset to chinese football.
My concern is not the players quality, Im making the assumption the chinese youths will be below standard but consider it a minor issue when you remember the extra cash in the clubs war chest now.
My concern is does this guy get priority above all other aufc youth? I doubt this will happen because I can imagine AUFC fans turning on Piet and this kid real quick.
