WANDERERS marquee Shinji Ono has refused to rule out the possibility of leaving the club in the January transfer window, despite the club's stated policy of not permitting players to exit mid-season.
With talks ongoing between Western Sydney and the former Japanese international about next season, Ono dropped a broad hint that he could be tempted by the offer of a new deal elsewhere if nothing is agreed imminently with the Premiers.
Fellow import Youssouf Hersi has already made public his desire for a lucrative, multi-year deal and Ono suggested his preference would be to stay - if a new contract is arranged.
The A-League transfer window opens in January, though Wanderers chairman Lyall Gorman has already ruled out allowing players to leave barring exceptional circumstances.

Asked about the prospect of interest arising in the window, Ono initially said that "I don't want to comment". But unprompted, he quickly added: "If you are a football player, if some club makes me an offer then of course I'll be very happy. I have said that I love staying with the Wanderers."
Ono insisted that he is capable of playing a full part in the club's hectic Christmas and New Year schedule, with six games coming in 23 days including the second derby of the season, and said his best form has yet to be witnessed.
There's a heap to talk about in episode 10 of the Fox Football Podcast.

"We have done a long preseason of three months, now we're ready," he said. "It's no problem [for me]. We've had injured players out and ready to come back now, for example Tomi Juric, and having them back with the rest of us working hard.
"Actually I'm not happy with my performances at the moment, but it will come soon, I will be better. What's important for me is that team wins."

Ono was speaking at the launch of the Summer Football theme created by the A-League around a run of 16 games in 17 days in the festive period.
Though the Ashes is believed to have had an impact on the A-League's audiences and TV ratings, Football Federation CEO David Gallop expressed no concern at that or the beginning of the Big Bash Twenty20 cricket tournament this weekend.

Gallop said both TV ratings and audience figures were ahead on last season.
"The proper cricket kind of ended yesterday, and well done to Australia," Gallop said of reclaiming the Ashes from England after a barren four years.
"But what we've got in the next 17 days is right at the core of our competition that runs over 30 weeks. This is a break or break time, every match counts and we're part of a six-month competition.
"It's always important to have our star players on the pitch, and these guys have added something to the competition on and off the field. Fans who are on holiday get to go out and see them in action in a holiday atmosphere, something the unique the competition provides.

"I think with the Ashes now completed really, we're really confident that the seriousness of the A-League, that battle for the six [finals] spots, is going to command attention over this holiday period.
We're tracking ahead - we went in to the start of the season with some big match ups and there was an inevitable period where we didn't have those every week. Now with the summer of football, including the derby this weekend, I think you'll see the crowds booming in this period.
"We're on a growth trajectory that no other sport is on, from the excitement of the World Cup in Brazil in June to the intense nature of the A-League.
"With two million people playing football we're unstoppable in Australian sport and the next 17 days gives us another opportunity to show that.
