If you could get $100k as youth marquee at the Nix, and $200k as an import at the Roar, what would you choose? EDIT: In response to the LG post.
Children would do that.
He's better off with one more year at the Nix and he'll probably be worth�three times�as much as he is this year.
Or he could end up with a broken leg and never play football again.
I don't disagree that from a football development point of view staying here for another couple of years is the right thing to do, but you can't begrudge players for trying to maximise their earnings from what is generally a short career fraught with risk.
All this, of course, is speculation since no-one really knows if the clubs rumoured to be after him are in fact offering him significantly more money than we can, but it's certainly something that could have significant impact on his decision to stay or go.
