http://www.planetfootball.com/article.asp?id=133303&cpid=218&title=Harkes+ready+for+DCU+return Sounds like he is a lot closer to returning then the prior news we heard.
I think it would be fitting for Harkes to end his career in DC, and I believe he has something left to offer the team. However, looking at the current roster, I don't see a single player I'd cut to have Harkes on the list. The potential of players like Curtis or Woodworth, if just for depth, outweighs what Harkes could actually bring to the field.
All this says is that he's training with the team and he would LIKE to come back. The best part of this is that both sides know that he has to fight for a spot. No gifts. If he can contribute to the team I think he's a welcome addition. If not, he can start his announcing career all the sooner.
The part I was referring to is that he hopes to seal a deal with this week. That sounds like he is a little bit closer a return than the "we will give him a last shot trial" vibe that was going on before.
Well you can't blame the guy for saying he hopes to seal the deal in a week. I'd like to win the Powerball this week too, but I might have to wait till next week or the week after. I just have to keep the creditors at bay for another few weeks and Boy! then they'll be surprised!
I like Harkes. I think he contributed very well to our team. He is a bit cocky though, well he was back in the day.
I like Harkes too, he's one of my all time fav US players, but he's to old school. (as if the US had a old school) Maybe he could comeback more as a coach than player, you know, talks to Alecko & co, shows them the ropes, were to put your dirty towels.
Hudson was quoted in today's Post saying that Curtis was playing poorly in camp. Maybe he gets cut and Harkes gets signed. Time will tell.
Exactly, Hudson said that alot of guys were playing horribly. Hopefully, if harkes plays well and gets on the team, he will have more of a similar role to stoichkovs. Not exactly being an assistant coach, but a teaching tool.
