Midfielder-forward Ariel Ortega, 34, is not happy at River Plate and has been telling the Argentine media that he could end up in Ecuador or MLS when his contract expires in June.

Report Offensive CommentHe should go to DC and play with Gallardo. Then you can change the name from DC United to Club Atletico River Potomac; actually, it would be Club Atletico Anacostia River since RFK is on the Anacostia

Report Offensive CommentI could certainly see this guy at FC Dallas as the fulcrum in a 3-4-3.

Report Offensive Commentdude is not washed up, he is still quick and very dangerous on the field. they should reunite him with Angel in NJ.

Report Offensive CommentBro, you havent heard the news coming from Argentina that half of his teammates want him out because he's always drunk and coming in late for practice. Even Washington Sebastian Abreu, Falcao and so many others spoke against him.
Dude is old - have you seen River play lately, he's alwasy diving and losing the damn ball

Report Offensive CommentWe are we going to stop buying washed up players MLS why dont you get some real star like Riquelme

Report Offensive CommentAnother washout. The MLS isnt going anywhere until they get rid of the salary cap, draft etc etc. Football has done without it in Europe and done well!!
