Speaking in Brisbane on Thursday, Verbeek said that talks will take place in the next few weeks but gave no indication on whether he will continue on to the 2011 Asian Cup even if Australia is to qualify.

"As far as I know my contract is still until the World Cup," Verbeek said. "We will have some discussions in the upcoming weeks there is no doubt about that."

With a squad consisting mainly of A-League players drawing 2-2 against Kuwait last week, the Socceroos' major problem is whether or not overseas stars such as Tim Cahill and Harry Kewell should be called upon to guarantee Australia's qualification to the region's marquee tournament.

Verbeek outlined that he would rather have a week in training to work with players rather than calling upon European-based players who would likely be released just 48 hours before the match.

"One of the things I have to think about is, is it better to have a player for a week in camp preparing for the 30- to 35-degree climate? Or do I bring a player over and take the risk after 30 hours of flights added with the 10-hour time difference?" Verbeek said.

"We should not underestimate what it is to fly from Europe arriving here on Tuesday and playing Wednesday then playing on the weekend again.

"We are going to bring and try to get those players who are available and those players who can handle trips like this.

"But if I feel we have a position that we definitely need a player from overseas and there is a position where we don't have a good enough player then I'll have to pick someone."

In the likely scenario of mostly A-League players being selected once again, Verbeek, who was impressed with the training camp held in Dubai, said he felt that those players could do the job against Indonesia.

"I think our camp in Kuwait and in Dubai showed us that the players were probably good enough to do the job also," he said.

"I was very pleased with the camp in Dubai and I was very pleased with the combination of European-based players and the players playing in here."

As far as Australia's World Cup squad goes, Verbeek refused to give anything away when quizzed, preferring to keep his cards close to his chest and further re-instated his belief that players needed to be playing overseas if they wish to be considered for selection in the 30-man squad.

"For you zero and for me I know a little bit more," he said of the World Cup squad make-up.

"I'm not advising anybody anymore, everybody knows what I think. What I said was quite clear, they have to be ready on the last week of May because then I will make my selection for the final 30.

"If any player thinks he can do it over here, that's his decision and his responsibility, if they want to go somewhere else it's their responsibility, it's not mine.

"I think I have enough players, it's more difficult for me to disappoint players than to find players."
