NO, he's coming to AUSTRALIA to play for Sydney FC. A teammate of his at PSV (his domestic club) is the son of the Sydney coach. Apparently it a done deal...

draddy i really hope that isn't true. i would love to have some more international players come to the MLS.

cocu, coming to MLS will be a good thing. So MLS, if you are reading this don't let this guy go to Australia, because that will be stupid.

wow, i love Cocu, seen him play in Eindhoven plenty, this would be a real prize for MLS, sign him up already people !!

cocu would be a great addition to the MLS, but what about also looking for RIVALDO who's contract with Olympioks is not going to be renewed. We could have a world cup winner in the MLS how sweet would that be.

I'd rather have RIVAAAAAALDOOOOO!!!!!

But having Cocu would be cool too.

May 15, 2007  03:50 PM ET

Yes we need Ronaldhino also.

Cmon COCU!

This would be an awesome move for MLS........ Please come to the MLS!

Rivaldo is coming to MLS.........Chicago Fire or NE Revolution

May 16, 2007  11:15 AM ET

I hope he goes to the MLS, with Becks, zizou and others thngs might take off!

I have my reservations about Cocu. Less than 2 years ago he openly mocked MLS and now wants to come here? Sounds like another Mattheus snob who thinks he'll come in and rule the roost only to get his **** beat and be out of the league in less than 2 years.

no disrespect to Cocu and all. he's a good player dont get me wrong but he's not as entertaining as some other players like a rivaldo or a denilson, players with flashy footwork who would easily entertain the MLS crowd

rivaldo was a good player in his day but hes gettin 2 old ni so MLS would be good 4 him he should 2 La Galaxy
