History for coochiee

Exactly. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, post Rojas's 3rd signing for Victory - but I always thought he was at best hope a half season signing for the Nix, and only if he couldn't come to terms to any of the Victorian clubs in short term. His 'home base' these days is Melbourne. House there, 3-4 years living there as an adult, few mates there no doubt, plus a lot of success with the Victory (a big A League club) and probably a few Victory staff/ex players still around the scene. He played with Nabbout and Broxham when last there. Plus he can have regular coffee catchups with Archie Thompson. It will be a bit like he never left, which if he was getting all miserable and down, under those long winter grey cold Danish skies on bumpy paddocks, is maybe what he wants right now.

Contrast with NZ's capital, a much smaller version of Melbs with sharktier weather. He's not from Welly, probably has few if any mates there having left as a 19 yr old kid. I imagine nearly all of the Nix staff/playing group have moved on since then. A smaller A League club, that is doing well now, but has nowhere near the success record of the VUC. He will of course know a few of the Nix's AW players.

Haven't read any stories about Rojas being sited in that other great Australasian river city, the Tron, since he left Denmark. He was hedging all his bets on his 'home city' Melbourne. Have also never heard him, state that the Nix were his 'boyhood club' or such, and that he would love to bring the Toilet Seat to Wellington. The sort of thing you read about with some older players. The YF Fever scholarship story, is great yarn, but just don't see Marco interested in ever returning. 

Also just don't see an expensive signing like Rojas, fitting the model that Talay/Dome are now looking to build. Even short term. Personally I like the model for a smaller club like the Nix. Of course selling a Singh is maybe a once in a 20 year event - but Cacace may sell for not a lot less. Piscopo etc who knows.

But who knows for sure, re the players Talay thinks he needs. I guess Gary Hooper is likely a short term, relatively expensive signing.

However as soon as it was announced Rojas was leaving Denmark, Talay ruled him out. Be fascinating to know if this was 100% honest truthful. In this situation his is the only viewpoint that really matters. He will know fully what the Nix need, to have a real serious shot at the title. He knows the main competition inside out. He knows if Hooper will likely be firing full cylinders come season end (so important to Nix's title chances). Hopefully he knew before yesterday that Davila will miss a chunk of games!

Was he really interested in Rojas, and felt like he needed him to have a full crack at a championship - and Welnix just said no, we don't have the cash? Or does he like the project he is building, and Rojas would have just been potentially a disruption to that/surplus to requirements, even short term?

Yes winning an A League title would be fantastic for the Nix, and NZ Football. Massive short/medium term boost. But winning one title doesn't guarantee long term success, on field or the off field. Just ask Jets & CCM. Needs of course to be a 'sustainable' model.

If Talay/Welnix weren't genuinely interested in a 28 year old former A League star, then they will have their reasons.
