Guest Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Famous phrase "never sign anyone on the back if a good World Cup" Liverpool --> El Hadji Diouf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I think signing the best left back in the league to come and sit on our bench or dropping Forsyth is a bit unrealistic B4. Besides, we need a right back first and foremost, who do you reckon we should get for that? We already have the best LB in the league... And he just signed a new contract... Why would we need to sign him again and then stick him on the bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Andre Moritz on a free after leaving Bolton. Could be a Baiano/Kinkladze type. I think Moritz could be a shrewd signing too. seven goals in 23 games last season, but I don't know where he'd quite fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he's left Bolton as he already has a deal lined up... http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/wanderers/americantour/11308092.Bolton_Wanderers_could_be_beaten_to_Andre_Moritz_by_Cypriot_club_APOEL/?ref=var_0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Chris Baird? Experienced pro had success at Burnley when trippier was injured at right back. Burnley want him on a deal but he's not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm amazed that people think that Yedlin will be cheap. He is to Seattle Sounders what Will Hughes is to us... and they are currently on fire - 10pts clear at the top of Western and looking to win the MLS playoffs. As for fans and revenue comment - last season's average attendance for the Sounders was over 44k - they are a big club, and huge attendance considering that they also have the Seahawks who just won the Superbowl. It's not just a retirement home anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Will never be a top league, never never never. Sunday league mixed with money grabbing final pay cheque stars. Had to laugh when Defoe started crying how he didn't get picked for England...erm...everyone thought you had retired. Yedlin would jump at the chance to play real competitive football, Sounders shouldn't stand in his way if a offer comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sunday league that went further in an arguably tougher WC group, without the money grabbing stars, than England. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North_Stand_Ram Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Top 5/6 leagues in the world? LOL Name me leagues that will be superioir? The Premiership, Bundesliga and La Liga are givens, possibily Serie A, although the standard of the Italian league's have fallen drastically. If soccer grows in the USA then it holds no boundires. If it becomes more and more popular, the funindg available to the clubs ect will have no limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Problem MLS has apart from being crap is they have no competitions players want to play in. Over in Europe we have Champions League and Europa League, what do they have? MLS will continue as it is, any decent player come through the ranks at a club will jump ship to Europe, players over 30 in Europe that are ready for retirement but want a final pay cheque will go to the MLS. Absolutely nothing will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nothing will change. I wouldn't be surprised if the popularity was to increase, for a new tournement on a larger scale to the club world cup. If the American national side continues to improve, and the side become successful, more fans will become interested. Watching domestic league's will become more commen and more investment will occur because of this. This world cup has done more for US soccer in 3 weeks then Beckham and Henry have done in 5, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
