The Columbus Crew has apparently taken interest in former Argentine World Cup player Matias Almeyda. He recently turned 34. He can play in the back or defensive midfield. Started his career with River Plate, moved to Sevilla, then to Serie A with Lazio, Parma, Inter Milan and Brescia. The last two years he was with Quilmes in Argentina and Lyn in Norway.

I didn't know Almeyda was still playing; he was an awesome player in his day

so basically this guy can't hold a team if his life depended on it and he's 34.

The Crew need all the help they can get now really. Go for it.

I don't see how he could really hurt the Crew. He has to have at least a little bit left in the tank.

at 34 a defender can still be quality, would be a solid move

Football Manager 2008 give him decent stats, so he has to be good! :-)

34 is the magic number i mls isn't it? They should never sign anyone over 31.
