Having scored eight goals from five league matches this season, Smeltz maintained his hot streak by scoring twice for New Zealand on Thursday morning in a 3-1 international friendly win over Jordan in Amman.

Smeltz's performance won't have gone unnoticed by various Middle Eastern clubs that are keen to use their wealth to entice the 27-year-old away from the Australian competition's new boys.

But, speaking on Friday in Perth, Palmer refused to entertain offers from Middle Eastern clubs over the next few weeks as the various Asian transfer periods come to an end throughout this month.

But the billionaire owner conceded it's unlikely Smeltz will be at Skilled Park next season as more offers are certain to pour in at then end of this campaign.

"The way I look at it, is I've said to Shane we want to do the best thing for him," Palmer said in joint press conference with Perth Glory owner and fellow mining magnate Tony Sage, ahead of the two teams playing on Sunday for the Iron Ore Cup.

"If he scores something like eight goals in the A-League so far, another two for New Zealand while he was away, that's 10 goals in the last three or four weeks.

"I said how valuable will you be at the end of the year when you've scored 40 goals and we can really get a good figure for you, not just for the club but for him personally for the rest of his life.

"So I don't think we'll be tempted by taking any money in the short term.

"I've got too much money unfortunately, I'm trying to get rid of it," he added when asked if a massive offer would tempt him. "We want to keep Shane, 'cause we need him to beat Tony's team.

"(So) we'll do whatever's best for the player's long-term future after the season, not so much thinking about transfer fees or what we get, but we want to promote people."

Palmer's comments come in the wake of Smeltz's manager Leo Karis urging the club to pass on any big-money offers to the striker for his consideration.

Speaking to goldcoast.com.au, Karis said Smeltz could earn three times his current wage at a Middle Eastern club, as Australian wages are restricted by a salary cap.

Amid all the distractions, though, Smeltz will be looking to maintain his goal-scoring run against the Glory on Sunday at ME Bank Stadium, at one of the few venues where he failed to score last year for the Wellington Phoenix.

Smeltz has been flown in Palmer's private jet directly from Amman to Perth for this match and Glory coach Dave Mitchell is hopeful the extra travelling will affect his performance.

"It's a long distance to fly and we know what it's like travelling, 'cause we do it a lot," Mitchell said.

"So hopefully that may continue, him not scoring against us, but look he's a quality player and we've got to watch out for him (but) they've got quite a few quality players in their side," he said.
