Pretty sure Stuttgart isn't his only option. I'm sure he's looking at a number of clubs. If this was an All Black and we had a decent football journalist, we would be all over his movements
Marco Rojas - The return of the Kiwi Messi
News.com.au is reporting that rojas has signed with stuttgart and that announcements due today in Germany.
And Gourdie saying the same on Twitter
its on stuff as well,must be true
Be interesting to know what the transfer fee is going to be. Phoenix will get 1% of that.
Yep, you're right. I'm a numpty.
Don't you still get solidarity payments - or is that only where there is a transfer fee?
Read that MV got 180k. We would get something too surely.
We should get roughly the same as Melbourne i think.
Isn't it spread out based on the teams he played for previously so his club team and Waikato FC will get a little bit aswell.
Nothing like what clubs are getting for Wood, but still a little is better than nothing.
One big money transfer for a young kiwi could literally provide a clubs budget for years.
Found on the Beautiful Game's Facebook page, awful link and no source but a pretty convincing picture...

"My father and I have talked with the leaders of VfB and they have expressed that they would be glad to have me here. For a player, it's a great thing when a club gives you that you absolutely have it want., it is certainly a challenge. "
Had never noticed how bad Marco's English is before.
Well done Marco. A four year deal with a regular top 10 club in one of Europes top League is really great for a kiwi kid. I hope that he settles in well and does a good job and gets regular first team action.
If you look at the Stuttgart player roster site they have a team with lots of international players. It appears that loads of their attacking players are big tall guys. Most sound like central strikers.....maybe thats why they hired Marco. To do a creative job down the flanks.
What ever the outcome he will get well paid.....four years on a million $$$+ salary will set him nicely......can we have our YF sponsor money back please Marco?
Absolutely fantastic! So i guess are we all Stuttgart fans now. Be great if that Bundesliga highlights show moved to one of the main SKY sports channels.
Excellent.Now I have a Bundesliga team to follow as well
4 years is great
Great stuff. I'm guessing he won't get a game this season? Next season starts pretty early over there in August though so there isn't that long before he will get a chance.
I reckon it will be at least a year before we see him get much game time.
Red doesnt suit marco.. just sayin

Yeah, a four year contract would seem to indicate that.
Which is a good thing.

can we lobby SKYnz to show some bundesliga games in nz? Even highlights would be great. Would love to see marco play aswell as another top league.
Great news for Marco! Stuttgart is a solid club, hopes he adjust quick and get some playing time.

for sure! there used to be highlights on Stratos...would rather have a few games than just a highlights package though- want to see Marco if he gets to play against Dortmund or Munich...Or Kruse for that matter....
Happy for the young fella and NZ football in general.
Some really good news lately with Wood making the play offs, Smith and Reid getting fan players of the year and now Rojas signing to play in Gernmany... not to mention another surplus.
Quality.
I just told TVNZ News it was shit move and we all hope he fails.
Did I get the mood of the forums right?
Did you call him KiwiJudas?
MV got a 180,000 transfer fee - do we get any small windfall from this?

World of Tanks has unvelied a rich vein of tan nerds around here. No the least of which are Stevo, Fort and Munk.
