He's hear on a 3 year deal. I haven't heard figures of wages but I can't imagine he came back to AU just to have Mum's Sunday roast more often. He'd be nearer one of the highest earners in the club.Im starting to wonder if goodwin will even be at the club post january.
I am sure he would back himself if another european club came knocking or if the riches of asia made an offer he cant refuse.
On the bright side he does command a fair salary so we should be able to replace him, possibly with a visa player if isaias’ citizenship goes through.
I think it would be unwise for him to even consider leaving in January.
We all know that if he maintains his form he is a sure bet for the national team but if he leaves and gets stuck on the bench somewhere again then he can kiss the Socceroos goodbye.
I believe that the opportunity to play at the AFC Asian Cup tournament would be a huge incentive for him to stay at AU for this season at least.
And let's not underestimate the "pull" that family has.
Maybe he will never leave AU because living and working in Adelaide tick all the boxes for him.
So for him to leave in Jan I'd imagine the club would be demanding a pretty juicy transfer fee out of him.
