So was reading the A-league wiki page and I realised we apparently still have a youth marquee system in place. As far as I know Terry Antonis was the only play I think the league ever had as one. But now that he has left for Parma the league has none.
Surely this is an area of improvement for the league. Clubs have this perfect avenue to sign their youth talent for longer periods if the lure of overseas money becomes too strong.
Or is $150,000 an laughable amount compared to what Antonis or Rogic have been offered to leave. Anyone know what these guys were offered?
I really hope as it seems that the FFA are focusing on keeping youth in the country (15 players of the U20 WC squad were from the HAL) that many of the kids who have begun to look the goods in that squad are offered this option if they are being lured abroad.

Re: HAL youth marquee
Sarkies was the Adelaide Youth marquee in his second year. Although, I believe Burns would have been according to the token contract he signed to avoid him leaving for another A-league club if he hadn't been sold.
