Should be does he know where he is after Manny's "tackle" last night.

"I felt like I made a good move.''
That feeling may wane over the coming weeks, depending how far the Phoenix progress in their quest for a maiden grand final appearance, but Rojas says he'll cast no envious glances across the Tasman.
"I'm happy for them. They're a good bunch of guys, and I've been watching their games and watching their progress and they've been doing well.
"But I think I made the right decision. I felt like it was good for my development - I wanted to make sure I was in the right place.''

MELBOURNE Victory's showpiece match against Olympiacos was launched today with the help of the original Wog Boy, Nick Giannopoulos, and Victory stars like Archie Thompson.

They mixed with fans and students at Alphington Grammar School in Melbourne to celebrate the match against the legendary Greek side on May 19 at Etihad Stadium.
Packed To The Rafters star George Hourvardas joined in the fun too for a penalty shoot-out against former Socceroos goalkeeper Mark Bosnich along with Victory stars Danny Allsopp, Jimmy Jeggo and Marco Rojas.

Marco Rojas slipped slightly from the radar of Kiwi fans when he transferred from the Phoenix to Melbourne Victory last season and suffered injury to boot. But he showed a glimpse of his considerable repertoire when he bamboozled an El Salvador defender with a shake of the hips before sliding a shot against a post.
Then seven minutes after halftime Rojas hit a swerving right foot shot to beat the keeper. He should be a key player at the olympics

"As long as I'm on the pitch (I'm happy)," Rojas said.
Pffft, you would have been playing regularly here!
Funny that he moved there to get time more centrally but in that article he says he's fine as long as he gets on the pitch haha.
Was thinking about it, and he really would have played every game last year when fit. We were playing Sanchez out wide..
Sounds like Rojas is playing really well...Will be interesting to see how he goes in the season
Beautiful finish for his goal against Heart and looked pretty good whilst on
More class from Marco vs the Reds.Evil little strike to finish off his goal - after missing with the header first time around.
Victory playing a style that suits him
Keep this up and he could find himself a ticket away from the A-League.
He just needs to work on not getting physically pushed off the ball.
He needs to work on his finishing, had several chances against the Jets, all were soft shots
It will cause a bit of angst bumping this up today but I was pondering this last week. This is the last year of his contract with the Victory, has he developed enough to head to Europe yet?
He basically lost a year with the circus they had last season, maybe another year under Ange would be best for his development.

Not sure how the training compensation works in the A-League. If we were in the UK, we most likely would have got something when he signed for the Victory.

It doesn't matter when he gets transferred, we'd still get the percentage for his time here. Even for the later transfers in his career we'd still get the percentage of the transfer fee (so would Victory too for all his time there until his 23rd birthday).
That distraction aside, do people is he ready to go to Europe at the end of this season?
Holland would suit his style, i could see him heading off there or maybe the French League.
Still seems a little soft for me in the challenge so i wouldn't think the premier league is for him yet, of Italy which is a little harder as well.
I see him more as the first AW'S playing in spain, especially with his chilean heritage. Maybe a team like getafe or levante...

To small a frame to go to far past a league.
Strength, guts and decision making (at times) still hold him back. He should stay at victory for while yet.
