Thierry Henry to Red Bulls New York

I read this on the OCNN (Ocho Cinco News Network) yesterday.

 

While not at the peak of his prime he is still IN his prime, this would be a major coupe for the MLS.

as opposed to a sedan i suppose

 

Our designated player sucks

 

That is epic! I love it!!!

 

I very much dislike him, but this is good I guess. Maybe one day the MLS could compete with Europe for the top players (in their prime).

Weird that soccer is pretty widely played in the US and A, especially by the youth, but have not produced any superstars. Bad coaching?

 

Probably disinterest as they get older. Probably a domestic league where you don't make money.

 

In Thierry, this would be a big improvement to the Red Bulls roster.

 

All it takes is money, sir.

 

i agree, if he's utilized properly. i'm glad the MLS is getting another big name after the galaxy's misuse of beckham.

 

Man, that franchise is turning it around quickly. Red Bull Arena is beautiful and Henry wouldn't have gone there had it not been built. Moves like this, and any potential move by Raul, are good but don't do much to sooth my worries about the league.

I'm afraid they're expanding much too fast, which will cause dilution of talent in an already thin league. Once all teams get their own venues, they can begin to improve their talent levels. But as long as San Jose plays in a college baseball stadium and DC United is stuck in RFK, those teams will continue to suffer while clubs like New York, Los Angeles and Seattle utilize their deep pockets to fund a winning product.

 

I'm hoping once the Dynamo get their new stadium built, we'll be a destination for some bigger named players. As of right now, who in their right mind would want to come play at Robertson? It's downright embarrassing compared to New York's, Seattle's, and LA's fields.

 

I blame most of that on Beckham.

 

not even big name college football players want to play there. I would guess that an all world soccer player would also not have any interest.

I dont follow soccer but a new stadium for soccer is good for the economy and for the fans.

 

Yep. It was clear from the beginning that he didn't really want to be here.

 

Its official. I'm excited b/c he will be playing against Tottenham when they play in NY.

Henry to the RedBull

 

Good luck in MLS Henry

we will always love you here in Barça

 

MLS... where former stars come to do nothing happens.
