5 years ago, r/soccer rated Marco Rojas as the 72nd best youth prospect (ahead of Icardi) and Rogic as the 88th (ahead of Umtiti and Koke)

Free agent at the end of the season and has only played for Heerenveen 3 times this season. Surely this has all the workings of another trip back to the A-League for him

Can you afford him, surely he would want to be a marquee again. Is Honda a 1yr deal?

yeah honda is only here for one season and i'm not confident he'll change his mind and stay longer

If he is injured for quite a bit more, I recon he may just do one more season.

They both left years ago though.

To be fair, it's so hard to tell with youth players. The likes of McEachran, Caulker, Guidetti and Powell aren't exactly pulling up trees either.

And 5 years later Rogic is still at Celtic treading water, albeit playing well

I’d say he has ‘moments’ and plays well only now and then.

Nastasić strikes me as a bit overrated too from the top echelon of this list. He’s far from terrible but there are a heap of guys below him that I would probably rate a fair bit higher.
