At this stage, I just want him to be playing somewhere. Get 30+ games starting under his belt and then re-evaluate things in a years time.

He wanted a fair whack from Auckland to be fair as well...
How far the talks got is another thing. But I would be surprised if second tier Portugal would come anywhere near close to what he was after $$$ wise.
Based on my limited googling....Quality wise I'd say the Portugal 2nd division is better or similar to the a League. And you are still in the shop window for Europe.
Money ... who knows.
