ajzepp Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 It is a good signing for the MLS, and if he stays healthy, he should score lots of goals. I agree...and I love this strategy by the MLS. Instead of breaking the bank for lots of players in their prime, give some of the top players in the world a place to come when their skills have eroded enough to where they aren't the same players they used to be. Henry has been one of my favorite players for a while now, so to think Ill get four years to watch him in MLS? I'm game! We pay them much less than what they're used to making, but still a respectable contract PLUS they'll be able to be the big fish all over again. If Meazza is right about Ronaldinho's game having fallen off so much, maybe we can bring him here next!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirly5 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The MLS, where old Euro league stars go to die. On a side note: What ever happened to the push for a MLS franchise in Rochester?

meazza Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Yeah, I'm thinking he's going to be in the MLS pretty soon. What a shame. He's only 29. I know he is leaving Milan but there are reports that they will not let him leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justnzane Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 It fell through at some point. I know the Rhinos were pushing to get into the MLS. Someone more local could probably give you some details... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_of_...r_League_Soccer Rochester In 2005, the completion of PAETEC Park, a soccer specific stadium, put the Rochester Rhinos on the shortlist of expansion teams.[42][43] However, a recent downturn in attendance and a lack of financial backing required for MLS fees has dampened the club's prospects in the first round of MLS expansion. New ownership under Rob Clark has not made expansion into the MLS a priority. Imo, the only way that Rochester will be in the MLS is if they adopt the promotion/relegation system that is used everywhere else but here. That said, I doubt that would happen because the MLS believes that owners buy a franchise with the right that they should always be top flight. The big problem with that is if you have a fledgling business that was once top echelon and it falls apart, someone else is probably going to take your businesses place in the top echelon. So, I don't see why this shouldn't hold true for soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTS Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Rumors have been swirling like crazy this weekend that Ronaldinho is heading the LA Galaxy. http://losangeles.bizjournals.com/losangel...12/daily32.html http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/18072010/58/...nho-galaxy.html Henry is still a great player and a great pickup for the league but Ronaldinho is one of the most skilled players in the world and he just turned 30. This would be huge for the league. Donovan, Beckham and Ronaldinho on one team would be sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 So AJ, guess you're going to follow Serie A closely now? http://www.football-italia.net/jul22a.html Definitely. If they sign him, then that's the team in Serie A that I'll follow for sure....at least for the upcoming season lol. Looks like they are also considering Podulski, so I'd likely keep tabs on them to follow him, as well. Forlan was amazing during the WC...I didn't know a thing about the guy before the tourney, and now he's one of my favorite players to watch.

Unfortunately if he signs for Inter, considering their depth, he might not play that much.

meazza Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 How's Roma looking for this season? They are now owned by Uincredit and potentially will be taken over by a Saudi oil company.

He's getting old but he still produces when he's on his game. Scored 23 in 19 games this year. Given that they played about 45 games, his injury status is why they are grooming for a backup. We signed Adriano. He used to be a superstar but he crashed. Hopefully he regains his form. Roma is in Champions league this year. Definitely need to go far in that league. Hopefully up till the semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
