He should stay, give it one more BIG season for Phoenix next year, and wait for the offers to roll in.
 
Moving sideways in the A-League is pointless.


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.
