Hate to say I told y'all so, but Rojas' signing has proven to be as expected, arrives with no game fitness, needs time, gets start and shock horror gets injured, now we wait for a month and start over. He has the skill and maybe the attitude, but the man is simply not built for regular footy, much like when he was first here.
Building our team around a guy who hasn't stayed fit in years was definitely an interesting choice..

When he was first here, he was a kid, so not a fair comparison - Melbourne  Victory got his best years and availability. 

Nagasawa is, imo, the first real import 'miss' from the Chiefy reign. I would've preferred we kept Pennington and looked for an import CB or FB. As him and Ishige both have 2 year deals, we have to play them and hope they come good.

I don't think Ishige has handled the physical robustness of the league very well either. He's good on a dead ball, but does not impact the game enough in open play, especially when we need creativity without Rojas. It's often Kosta dropping deep and showing for the balll
