Fredy Montero - part II

I have, IMO sometimes they need to look out a little more for the important players who get pressured hard core. Blanco in Chicago has the ref's in his hands when he touches the ball, why? Cause he is asking and screaming towards the ref, but most players arent as agressive towards refs like him, and arent as important (Montero is) so alot of times ref let some stuff fly. Gallardo was a decent example last season, where he got fouled pretty bad vs. chivas USA after coming back from surgery from a hernia. He gets on the field, and at the 7oth minute hes back out, turns out the foul that didnt even get a yellow against him(real hard tackle) ended up ripping something in his knee. From then until like a month ago he wants ready to play as a result of that tackle.

Its little stuff like this that tears down players that will pile up if the ref's dont take a little more care. But thats my opinion.

But i agree with the divers part, anyone remember colombian Diego Serna? Nororious for his dives. : p

Its one thing to get chippy but another to get wreckless. It often gets to the latter alot in the MLS, especially with roughneck teams like New England, and New York. This is when people get hurt, not just riled up.

Our play is comparable to a lower level EPL aka second division of England.

I really hope this loan to Seattle leads to him getting to a team in england. It seems colombians and ecuadorians are the player to get right now over there.

 

i am very surprised by seattle's popularity, what a well organized team..amazing sponsor, amaziong uniform and a really cool new fanbase, fredy couldn't have a better choice, i'm sorry if anyone disagrees with me, but i'm calling it, the MLS will soon be springboard for Colombians to go to Europe.

 

if the mls was smarter it would buy players from south america before european teams and keep them...

instead of getting juan pablo angel, they could get 10 fredy monteros

 

i seriously think the whole beckham scandal is a make or break circumstance for the mls to change strategy ...otherwise the league will go broke

if the mls does not change in favour of harvesting latin americans such as fredy, then (along with its other problems) i fail to see how it could survive

that said, if the trend starts, the mls will most deifnately become more interesting with this and some more institutional changes (and i refer here to relegation system, but honestly i dont want to discusss this point)

 

The main problem is the Salary cap, right now i have NO IDEA how fredy is here, at 155k it doesnt make sense. I am sure he was making close to that in colombia, because like i said before DC united tried to get a similarly skilled player from bolivia with not even as good as a good rep as fredy has in south america, and the DC front office told me personally that he is too expensive, and they want too much.

IMO until MLS can start offering 300-400k salaries to foreign players meaning that high to like 6-7 of the foreign player limit, we wont see guys like fredy in this league, meaning young and fresh, for a while. The Salary cap will have to be at least 8-10 milliion US.

 

yea but he's living in seattle, and the opportunities are pretty cool. all those coffeshops bro, come on! lol

 

hahaha. Im sure hes getting money under the table or say free pimp housing at a penthouse apartment??? I am sure of it, cause this kid was a world prospect on up and coming youth, theres no way he came to the MLS just cause....

I am sure hes living free and that 155k is straight pocket change. Money to send back home.

 

I think that is a possibility, but IMHO is a combination:

Salary, which I agree should be close to what he got back in Colombia
His percentage of the transfer fee to MLS and when he leaves (if he leaves)
Free perks (appt + car + starbucks card )

 

Good post.

I didnt think that far into it, but def. a possibility.

 

Which one didn't you think of, the starbucks card?

Maybe he also got a free xbox with both FIFA and PSE!!!! LOL

 

i really like the seattle uniform and sponsor.... Looks like a legit team unlike half the MLS teams

 

uniform is the coolest thing in the mls right now...in regards to the starbucks card, I drink it, but Montero needs a regular credit card to buy coffee from colombians, he won't drink that mud....

 

buena noticia

me voy a ver los noticieros deportivos!!!

go seattle....I do know, I like the JPA team too!

and will like to see ferreira on tv....at frisco Park

 

Well it was a screamer, he looks up sees the keeper is a little out and drills the ball in the back of the net. In the second half RSL looked like they were going to tie it up. Seattle was on the back foot but against the run of play Montero scores, glad I put him on my fantasy team.
