So here we have it, two of the brightest football talents that NZ has produced have left the club. Barbarouses had an offer to stay but decided to try his luck with the Roar and had a stellar season playing wonderful football. Now Rojas is off too. Basically because he thinks playing for Victory will make him a better player than if he stayed at the Nix.
I am gutted, not only because I will never have the pleasure of seeing Rojas run out in a nix shirt again but because it means the club has a huge problem holding and nurturing talent.
I personally am sick of watching Rickies hoofball tactics. He has had 4 seasons now and we are no more than a battling mid table team. Everyweek I watch other A-League teams play a fluid passing game. I then switch to my own beloved team where it seems the main tactics are smash the opposition in midfield, get the ball wide and then hoof it into the box.
Sorry Rickie...you are a great guy but next season is last chance saloon!!!!
