A 'mate' of mine was behind the scenes after the game tonight and said there was quite a number of questions coming from the Villarreal coaching staff directed to the Roar staff (via translator) concerning Devante Clut - some of the questions were about how long he's been training with the senior team, injury history and how he did this season. I can only assume they will consult their scouts about him when they arrive back in Spain. Doubt they would pay a transfer fee for him without a trial, so I am making an educated guess that they would inquire about trialing him in the off-season.

From memory, La Liga sides are allowed 6 non-european players but only 4 on the pitch at one time. Joel Campbell's loan is now over which opens up at least one of those slots. However, I also have a sketchy memory of being told Devante has a french passport anyways (can someone confirm?).

Obviously don't know the full reasons behind the questions so at the moment this is just conjecture but I would not be at all surprised if this develops into something.
