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.

article on rojas on stuff today;
http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/8715715/Marco-Rojas-dodges-Wynton-Rufer-concerns
Loving the last line, the running rojas joke that just keeps on giving;
"Rojas, who has signed a four-year contract, said he was unsure about his place in Stuttgart's pecking order but a tour of the club's facilities had whet his appetite."
still he shouldnt feel that deja vu feeling for another four years...
I'm close to Stuttgart for the first VFB home game 17.8. against Bayer Leverkusen. What about me and my son wearing nix shirts and roll out a yellow fever banner at the game? Not sure if Marco is even on the bench, but I thought it would be a nice stunt. What do you think guys? Any ideas?

Freakin awesome.Get in
I bet the locals think you are Borussia Dortmund fans
good idea. free publicity for the phoenix and bigging up Marco to the coach and fans.
Looks like some friendly games are starting this week.
03.07.2013 18:30 First Team vs Krombacher-TSV Koengen(Charity game i think)
06.07.2013 15:30 Second Team vs VfR Aalen
06.07.2013 18:00 First Team vs SV Stuttgarter Kickers
They have a big squad but I am sure they would like to get an early look at Marco. In saying that I guess he will be lucky to make the bench for the second team game.
Actually in the VfB Stuttgart fan forum it sounds like Maro might get a run today. They mentioned the 4000 sell out crowd out for this lower league venue and everybody is excited to get a look at the 7 new comers to Stuttgart.Especially the seven newcomers Mohammed Abdellaoue, Konstantin Rausch (both Hannover 96), Moritz Leitner (Borussia Dortmund), MarcoRojas (Melbourne Victory), Daniel Schwaab (Bayer Leverkusen), Sercan Sararer (SpVgg Greuther Furth) and goalkeeper Thorsten Kirschbaum (Energie Cottbus) were exactly of the many fans who had come to know from training.
Seven new comers to vfb Stuttgart and they all got a run in a friendly against TSV Köngen except 1 Marco Rojas.
"4000 spectators watched the VfB coach introduce six of his seven newcomers. Only Marco Rojas was missing"
Six new members make the field in the TSV Koengen gamehe is bound to get some sort of run on Saturday. both the first and second team are playing.
Apparently hes carrying an ankle injury

"Also signing Marco Rojas is handicapped after a blow to the ankle."
Marco didn't make the field in a local derby against Stuttgarter Kickers overnight (nor did he appear for VfB II). Anyone with links to 'Team Marco' know where he's at? Injured? Or, just not ready yet? [See edit note below]
I've spotted a few pictures of him training earlier this week and he was wearing No 14, so that may be his squad number for the year (VfB website hasn't posted them yet). Here he goes (hopefully ...haven't posted images on this forum before).
Edit: Ha, started posting this before the previous post! Solved!Stuttgart have already announced that they have loaned out two players to lower level German clubs.....one guy to Kaiserslautern??? which is a good Div 2 club. Possible that they will have a good look at Marco preseason and then decide if he is first team squad material or needs to be loaned out to develop his game.....prob the second IMO
He always seems to have an ankle injury. Bit of a worry?

Made his debut in a friendly against a regional selection in Crailsheim. And scored! Played in the first half only as VfB pretty much swapped teams at half time. The big guns were mostly paying in the first half, so good signs. 4-0 at half time, 5-0 at full time. This is VfB's twitter posting "Halbzeit. Jetzt haben wir auch den Torschützen. Es ist unsere Nummer 14. Maaarcoo...Rojas. Erstes Spiel, erster Treffer. #VfB".
Get yer Google translate out folks.
"Half. Now we also have the scorers. It's our # 14 Maaarcoo ... Rojas. First game, first hit."
Awesome
Awesome news. I'll be in Stuttgart to see the match against Eintracht Frankfurt, would be amazing to see him get some game time.

any footage?
damn it I wanna see the goal
"especially his footing we have really enjoyed it. "
"Unfortunately, I have also yet another déjà vu: Rojas changes next year for 35 million to Bayern. And probably we get the money back for a Russian wooden doll and a Serbian slow sprinter ..."
Google translate, winner.

I think that is a legit quote and not just Google translate having fun!!!
Highlights of his debut here. Sorry. poor quality, no sound. but...marco was quality.
Thanks Rocky123... great to see some footage. Marco did some real good stuff. Showed very good pace and put through a couple of lovely through balls. For his first hit out he done good. He certainly did not look out of place.
More importantly who was that blonde babe with the beer bottle?
He looked very good in that short clip. Set up what should've been one, and then the perfect through-ball that led to the peno. His goal was a bit scrappy but only because the defender tracked him all the way, yet he still got in there ahead of him.
