A purist view that "Rojas is excellent therefore he needs to play for us" is of course commendable but does not get us anywhere. Talay recruited people who wanted to play for us, short (Steinmann) or long (Davila) term. We know Rojas is not in that camp.

We have no idea how much WelNix are spending on those who are harder to replace (Davila, Hooper, etc) hence it is hard to compare the $$$ but my guess is that Rojas would ask for more than $1.5M over 3 years to spend his time here instead of at Victory.  

I just find the whole argument bizarre. Nobody is dissing Rojas or claiming that he is not a very good player. We know he would be visa free and is (was) available (not anymore). However, since he was not even reported as being in serious talks with us, it shows that neither he nor Welnix were sufficiently interested.  I do not consider the troll posts by "NZ Football" and Wikipedia tampering as reliable facts.
