The Nix have entered in negotiations with Marco Rojas.
sauce?
I call bollocks, the only players he could easily replace would be Piscopo or Sotirio, and he'd be pushing to be better the Piscopo at the moment. He could possibly push Sotirio to the bench - but I don't see Talay making a play for him when he has his squad settled and working well. Whilst Rojas has been great at Victory he's still a gamble for the nix and is likely to be asking for more money than Talay would want to spend on him.
Seriously? Piscopo who up until this season was playing in Serie C?
shark - sorry I forgot where he'd come from.....therefore Rojas will be at best a bench player - maybe challenging Sotirio? But I can't see it as I suspect Rojas' pace had probably dropped off and whilst his skill on the ball might be better the Sotirio's I don't see him wanting to ride the pine and bide his time to make the first team.
Marco would literally waltz into this side. He's coming back from a top division in Europe against guys who are still fighting to get to become consistent A-league players.
Front four with Davila, Ball, Hooper, and Marco would be the best attacking quartet in the league by some margin.
top division in Europe - where he has done very little with limited minutes, he'd be fighting for a spot against five players three are imports who are performing better than expected (Hooper. Ball and Davila) and two Aussies who are also performing better than expected (Sotirio and Piscopo). Excluding injuries I can't see Rojas getting a start - he certainly wouldn't be bumping any of those 5 to the bench as soon as he walked into the side.
For me Rojas over Sotirio any day of the week. And Sotirio has been getting plenty of starts.
Piscopo and McCowatt showing lots of potential though. But they both also need game time if we want them to step up.
But Rojas is not going to happen. Ufuk made that pretty clear.
