Apparently - our boy Villegas was seen in the Medowlands last night with a press pass courtesy of the Metros front office. Scouting the Stars? Scouting the Crew? Or just taking in a game?
I thought he had family up there. Maybe he was headed out with them for some entertainment? If that can be said about a MetroDonkey game. I guess on the entertaining part of it, they lost!
The thing is, we play them 3 times out of our last 8 games, and all are must win games. If Petter wants to get a first-hand look at them and give a good scouting report, then more power to him.
Because he would get here and not score. Then based on what I have seen of him he would then become a distraction.
I think he's from New Jersey, so he's probably visiting the family. It's not that long a trip really.
Still I am surprised to read that he was at the Metrostars game, with a game pass courtesy of their front office.
Hey, he used to be on the team and with the coach for several years, he's not going to learn any secrets in a booth watching the game. They didn't invite him to practice, it's just a game, so why not extend the courtesy to a friend. That being said, it does look a bit odd. With Ray looking to clean house (yet again) he may have been shopping Villegas around. Given the state of turmoil that the MetroStars have been in and the fact that Villegas isn't a consistent starter in DC, maybe Villegas and Zambrano have mended some fences? My my, what an interesting time at old United. -Tron
