There are people saying he could be a youth marquee- which totally misses the point. The phoenix burn $1m a year, apparently. Where is the mythically extra cash going to come from?We're not going to be in a positon for a McKain style magic windfall this year, and while we've got several players coming off contract, they will need to be replaced.If he moves for money, and can move to a team where he will get (guaranteed) game-time he'd be a fool not to move. Football is not a risk free lifestyle- ask Zahra - Rojas should take what he can get while he can get it.No one here would be arguing that the phoenix owes Toto some degree of loyalty next season- yet most will argue the reverse does somehow apply . I'd be gutted to see Rojas go, but we have to be realistic.

Aren't we getting more TV money? Or is that next year?

�

Also, where is the money from the World Cup?

�

There's also some other players heading for the exit and therefore freeing up a bit of cash.

Why would Brisbane be able to offer so much more?? They don't even get bigger crowds than us! I�guess winning the league and ACL money will help them.


They do get bigger crowds than us...just sayin'
