Tim Cahill’s first line in Melbourne City’s statement today said it all about his intentions.
EUROPE
It would be hard to believe the 38-year-old could head back to play on the continent after five years away.
He is highly regarded in England, particularly with ex-clubs Millwall and Everton but both are beyond him, with the former now competing in England’s Championship. He’s never played anywhere else in Europe except England either, which makes it tough.
Will it happen: Very, very, very unlikely

AUSTRALIA
Cahill’s comments make it sound like he’s moving on from the A-League. Been there, done that, seems the sentiment. There’s few A-League clubs who genuinely need him, except for arguably goal-shy Adelaide United, but could they afford him?
The Reds have this week lost number 10 import Karim Matmour which will free up a position and maybe some money to offer Cahill. The A-League regular season does finish in April, well before the World Cup.
Will it happen: Nope, unless he’s desperate and the FFA engineer it.
