I don't think a player who has only just made the first team and in all honesty has been a bit hit and miss - when's he's a hit he is superb though - justifies $200k.
No other club in this league is going to offer him $200k and we shouldn't bankrupt the club and miss out on the chance of players we need to pay it.
We'll offer a reasonable rate compared to what any other A-League side would offer, then it will be a comparison between loyalty to us (not inconsiderable for Marco) and what advantages other clubs can offer over us - ACL, Youth league.
