Oh….yes…..and the other thing is that he’s available on a free transfer. Given MLS finances, that makes a big difference. The Kaka thing never made any sense since he’s got like 2 years left on his contract. Even if he isn’t playing at Real Madrid, they still want something for him. And the Diego Forlan thing didn’t make sense either since he DOES look washed up.

I don’t know if he’ll be the next Henry, but if you go back to Dec 20, he’s started Chelsea’s last 7 Premier League games and scored 5 goals in those games. Now there are caveats…..a few of those goals are PKs and he’s getting subbed off at the end of games to get fresh legs in the game.

He’s really not washed up. He might be washed up in a few years, but not now. Heck…..show me a central midfielder in MLS who would start for a Top 4 EPL club. Are there any? Zusi? Alonso? Zusi is rumored to have West Ham looking at him, not Chelsea.

So….I think he’ll be good.

That kind of IS the definition of the insane number of rumors of the washed ups though, right ? Used to play for a “big club”, doesn’t any more, doesn’t want to join the teams that always lose to the big clubs, so he looks to THE competitive league, MLS.

You can say not too shabby, but the real question is next year is he Henry or is he washed up ?

Being a 9.5 hour drive from the nearest MLS club I choose to follow several MLS clubs, LA being one of them. I hope he stays in jolly ole England, I simply do, just something about this doesn’t sit right or maybe it’s several things. Honestly I’d rather see a ‘lesser’ name or even a Freddy Montero type young player. Kaka is interesting and I’d much rather have he than Lampard, however for me the Diego Forlan hints from the summer window were the most exciting. Oh well, time will tell. Perhaps in 3.5 years when Sneider’s time is approaching conclusion in Turkey LA will make a move for him as a 31 year old? One can hope.

I’m a Galaxy fan and I’ll take him. I know he’s 34, but he’s still playing well for a Top 4 EPL club. That’s not too shabby.

But, I can understand him wanting to get to 100 caps. That’s a real achievement.

He will be 35 by the time he comes here and he will want a contract longer than one year.

This is not FIFA 13 where your worth slowly drops off, in reality although sudden you don’t want him anymore.

I hope he does go to LA.
