Weah to MetroStars?

csh2000 · Jan 20, 2003

Isn't it about the time of the year for the annual Weah to MetroStars rumors to start up again?

Anyone heard anything yet?

(consider this the token "Weah to MetroStars" thread for this season)

E-mail the rumour to any newspaper that covers MLS, and I guarantee they'll run it.

"Trusted sources have confirmed the speculation of former World Player of the Year George Weah will be playing for the MetroStars next season."

might also be time for a Ricketts for USA thread in the USA forum.

George, since you maintain a home in the US, is there any chance that you may play for the Metro Stars of the MLS ?

They gave a proposal to me, but it wasn't satisfactory at all. They weren't willing to make the effort, only offering a contract for one year. So I decided to go to the UAE.

I believe Weah recently blew out his knee while playing in Saudi Arabia.

Looks like we'll be safe for a while.

Apparently the "next Weah" will be playing for the Rapids.

Zizi Roberts is more like the next Adrian Paz. Guy got waived off of a team in Greece last summer, and has been begging for work ever since.

If you're looking for something new in ridiculous, (and you guys forgot to mention old favorite Paul Rachubka) there's a "Friedel to DC" thread over on the United forum.

he may not be george weah, but zizi is no hack. he will be a welcomed addition to a rapidly improving rapids squad. and that greek team was olympiakios... the greek champion and a regular in the champion's league. a team that few mls players would start for.

friedel to dc... i have no clue what he is thinking!?!

I'm pretty sure a Brit can't be elected president.

This thread got me a little confused. The calendar says January 24th, but it some how feels like April 1st.

Gazza to Miami!
