He's out. He just went to Qatar, he's one of the marquee players in the league and is making a butt-load of cash there.
a list from another thread... Roberto Carlos (did he re-sign, I don't think so) Clarence Seedorf Lillian Thuram Silvain Wiltord Patrick Viera (not likely) Cafu Frederick Ljunberg Henrick Larsson Roy Makaay (but why is Roque Santa Cruz not playing so much) Michel Salgado after Juve go back up Pavel Nedved (think that wouldn't fly in Chicago) Alessandro Del Piero (dude would be a star, S-T-A-R, in NYC) from Inter Milan's b-team (this is ridiculous) Alvaro Recoba Julio Cruz Walter Samuel Adriano Barca b-team Giovanni Van Bronckhorst (you laugh, good friends with Claudio Reyna) Javier Saviola (not this year, with their injuries) Presas Oleguer and whatever happened to Nelson Cuevas Roberto Acuna Costinha
I will fly anywhere and pay a lot of money to see him play. Greatest player of our era if not G.O.A.T. I sadly don't think he will be coming to the MLS, however.
DID HE? In that case, I'm all for Zidane to DC. Beckham to LA Ronaldo to NY Zidane to DC how about that
Definately Nelson Cuevas. If he plays like he did in the last two World Cups, he'd be an amazing player for MLS.
My Top Ten: (Based on Marketing only) 1. Beckham 2. Ronaldo 3. Figo 4. Morientes 5. Maldini 6. Roberto Carlos 7. Crespo 8. Edgar Davids 9. Rivaldo 10. Fabiano
Not that they would ever let him go but its fun to dream. I could only imagine Blanco being signed by the Galaxy and playing against Chivas USA That would be one of the more interesting moments in soccer history. BTW he is on my DCU Fifa07 team and he kicks ass! How about it in real life Payne?
This is like the high-flying days of 1996! I'd pick, purely on marketing, availability, washed-upness but still able to rock MLS, etc. 1 Ronaldo 2 Beckham 3 Luis Figo 4 Batistuta (retired recently I think played in Qatar) 5 Zidane (retired recently) 6 Jared Borgetti (is he still in Saudi) 7 Del Piero (Serie B!) 8 Patrick Kluivert 9 Cafu 10 Maldini
Omar Bravo to Chivas USA Beckham to Galaxy Ronaldo to NY Zidane to DC? No way. Borgetthi to Rapids Jose Fonseca to Revolution Wow those trades would be insane.
