Wolff off to Germany [NRC]

I say it's good for the league. He has done very little in the league the past couple years, and he was costing the league a lot of money with his big contract. I don't like seeing American players leave the league, but Wolff does very little to make me want to watch him play.

 

best thing I have heard in a while

 

great now my 1860 scarf supports that douche? I liked it better when I just had Twellman associated w/ it.

 

While I've never liked his game, it's a mixed bag on good or bad

Good - he earns way to much for what he brings to the game so that's good

Bad - When he gets there and flops, he will just help convince an already doubting Euro audience that Americans can't play soccer and will make it harder for the next guy to go.

A mixed bag for me

 

well it can be argued that we might have a couple talented guys in European leagues (3 starting keepers in England for one) at the moment so I doubt him being on a mid table German team is going to make all of Europe convinced

 

Darn, I was looking forward for a Twellman for Wolff trade to please Ed.

 

Wolff won't flop - remember this isn't the Bundesliga, this is the 1st division in Germany. I doubt it's that much of a difference from MLS-level play.

I think he'll turn out to be good not great, middle of the road player.

 

What my dad used to always say about fat chicks:

I don't want her you can have her she's too big for me

Just switch it around to fit Joshy boy

 

Thats a polka song:

Here's a silly jingle,
You can sing it night or noon
Here's the words, that's all you need
'Cause I just sang the tune:

Oh, I don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
I don't want her, you can have her,
She's too fat for me
She's too fat
She's too fat
She's too fat for me

 

How did this not become a Meola song??

He is vastly overpaid. It's good from an economic standpoint.

 

There is only 1 place I want to see Wolff go play....

...in traffic

 

Hopefully he'll develop *some* skills that he can bring the the USNT...

 

having an ass to warm a bench isn't hard to find and that's the most he's worth these days.

 

The guy still has some wheels, what he needs are some skills and better tactical awareness.

The european teams, for the most part, have a lot more and more intensive training. So, a lot of the guys who go over see a boost in their skills - it happened for JMM and a number of others. While Wolff may have been a rival within MLS, he's a NT asset and as such, I'd like to see him improve to the point where he can improve the NT.

 

you are very right. it has been amazing though to watch him over the last few years. he really is not good at figuring out where he needs to be to make the right stuff happen. you watch his cuts toward goal and everytime you think to yourself, why is he in the wrong place?
