mixed messages? I rather missed having a player of his caliber missing from the bench. I wonder how many times Bradley has wished we would have kept him for this year? Shame he's too proud to get a paycheck. If he is still that good, I would rather he go out and prove it, rather than pout and talk about retiring when he does not want to. Must not need the money after the fortune he has amassed. Does he think he will get a contract in another league at this point? It is nice, however, to be complimented by obviously a very bitter and picky player (who was also admitedly a very good player at one time). Thanks for the interesting post Hala.
Re: mixed messages? And how would we have been able to do that, exactly? No problem on the post. I just think it's great that players feel that way about our club and I really appreciate it when they take time to say such things.
Is that true? Wynalda only earned $65k with the Fire? In that case, why couldn't we keep him? Shucks, he scored in his first few minutes with the team. Wynalda's a classy guy, and he's paid our team an excellent compliment. I miss our old #22. (Had he scored that sitter in injury time in the third game of the LA series, I'd even miss him more.)
Two reasons: Everyone was waiting patiently for a salary bump that was promised them, as well as an agreed-to-in-principle pay cut from Nowak and Hristo, which did not happen. Two, Waldo's pay in his option year with Chicago would have been considerably more than 65k.
