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) gametime 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� or next season- yet most will argue the reverse does somehow apply . I'd be gutted to see him go, but we have to be realistic.


Well Youth Marquee just means he can be outside of the salary cap. Finally we have a youth player worthy of this spot. Doesn't mean we're going to spend heaps on him, just means his salary won't count towards the cap.
