Burns: Wayne Rooney, Mike Burns here from the Revolution.
Wayne: Who?
Burns: Mike Burns former US international, Keeper of the Post. I am a big wig with the New England Revs in MLS. Interested in Playing for us?
Wayne: No -Click!!!
Burns: Damn so close!

 

close counts in horse shoes , hand grenades close counts and the Revs FO

 

Good riddance Bennie...the bolded part is all I need to know about you and it showed. People wonder why he isn't on the USMNT and that, in a nutshell, is his issue.

Our front office continues to be a total, absolute joke. The Union just signed a guy who had options in multiple countries and was on the Swiss WC team in Brazil....albeit a 30 year old midfielder....but come on!! Every time we turn around nowadays, another club is signing a very good player. And we don't even get any real sniffs at all.

Just so freaking embarassing....

 

Eh, I'd rather he played his ass off the whole time he was here, but honestly, I can't blame him for losing motivation. If your managers and coworkers don't put in the effort, it's going to wear off on you. He doesn't appear to be a leader by nature, not many are. He went to SKC and was around guys who busted his ass and what do you know, he's one of the top players in MLS now.

 

Thanks, Repped for posting that since I do not follow on twitter.

Without knowing who (like Chicago with Drogba or Sporting with Dos Santos), this is non-news to me.

We have no idea where the "close" breaks down.

 

I believe firstshirt is on to the Rev's definition of "close" with his scenario earlier:

 

Red Bull about to sign another DP....

Can someone get a GIF of the Back to the Future scene where Biff is knocking on Marty's head and asking ''Helloo, McFly is anyone home??" just photoshop Burns' picture there for the image that comes to my mind....

 

I thought I read somewhere they were looking at a 29 year old French player as well as a possible DP

 

Yoann Gourcuff

 

that's him

 

Kind of ironic, complaining about repetitious posts.

 

a little too ironic don't you think?

 

Yeah, I really do think

 

The thing is, who's Mr. Play It Safe?

Is it Jonathan Kraft, who lacks the knowledge to hire a Burns replacement so is living with the devil he knows?

Or is it Burns who, as long as he doesn't fail too spectacularly, gets to keep his job?

Mutually assured mediocrity?

 

After the naked guy on the plane that they had to tackle, you might be afraid to fly, also.

 

Well put.

 

Wow...

 

better move for him I suspect. probably see more PT with Indy and possibly making the same or more

 

Ha - let's lock this thread down.

Not that I thought he was an amazing answer, but........*sigh*
