Or the Fulham move. Bradley turned down a great chance for a leadership role there, where he mostly likely would've immediately been thrown in as a starter and expected to help the team avoid relegation.
Sounds like your personal biases at work, somehow I'm not seeing any more glory in slogging away at a mid-table club than in attempting to take a habitual cellar dweller to the top in your home country's league, and thus helping to grow that league in the process. Personally my main disappointment about all this is that in all likelihood we've seen MB reach as high as he's going to go, and there's always something a little sad about that. But in all honesty Roma is higher than I ever thought he'd go when he left MLS, so I'm at least happy for that.
What does glory have to do with it? Don't create some strawman argument. Seems your personal biases are getting the best of you and you're feeling the need to twist statements. I might suggest you calm down and regain your composure.
Thanks Dr. Phil. So why exactly is it so important that he stay in a more prestigious league if not for glory? Or use whatever semi-synonym speaks to you (legacy, pride, prestige...). And to be clear, on the whole I would've preferred as a fan that MB stay in Europe. But as an MLS fan him choosing to come home and try something completely different doesn't bother me all that much (and, selfishly speaking, it means I'll get to see him play a hell of a lot more).
Fact: this decision was money driven. Fact: this decision is terrible for the posters in here. Fact: we can't blame him. End thread.
A lesser-known fact about the Defoe and Bradley contracts with TFC is that they actually will be playing for the Raptors and the Maple Leafs in the off-season.
According to a TFC beat writer (who's at the game) on twitter, they got the loudest ovation so far tonight
Now that Bradley has been introduced as a member of TFC, along with DeFoe, isn't it time this thread was shut down, @bungadiri, @dark knight, and @Friedel'sAccent ? Please?
Defoe supposedly talked to Becks, Keane, Friedel. Pretty much every dude he had come in contact with that has MLS experience. Oh and Drake. That apparently was the huge thing. lulz
You can leave out the passive aggressive personal attacks. You can also try reading through the thread as the counter argument has been laid out numerous times. Get back to me when you understand it.
Cute, Mr. "I-might-suggest-you-calm-down-and-regain-your-composure" is sensitive about passive aggression. You're a weenie-faced poopy brain.
I say we leave it open. He is abroad. Doesn't live in the US. Plays for a club which competes in Canadian competitions. Yes his Canadian club competes against American clubs but so do the clubs of our Yanks in Liga MX when they play CCL. I'd add we have players who actually live in the US, which Mikey doesn't, but commute across the border to Tijuana and have YA threads.
