This guy is old, washed up, can't play, tootheless, and a big **** DRUNK!

He 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

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

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

andacagar | 05/20/08, 12:04 PM

Bro, 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

Wasn't he the first "new Maradona" all the way back in '97. I say no on this bum.

salvi1113 | 05/20/08, 03:21 PM

Yes he was Salvi - I also said no!
Just like so many others

What of the rumour the Riquelme' is going to the NE Revs.

music3868 | 05/20/08, 04:30 PM

he is 34 though....

i mean, hes not going to bring ALOT of star power and may only play a season

jeevs BS | 05/20/08, 05:41 PM

Yea I smell another Denilson.

mundo001 | 05/20/08, 05:50 PM

Just trying to sharpen his bargaining tools. A little sabre rattling to see what happens. That's all.

DCruiser | 05/20/08, 06:09 PM

I'm not excited.

MadridistAmericano | 05/20/08, 08:07 PM

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

arsenalfan4ever | 05/20/08, 11:02 PM

Another 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!!

dwUK1986 | 05/21/08, 05:22 AM

So many "experts" here, makes me sick. If Ortega is washed up, what does that make Beckham?

Fanatico do Selecao Brasileira | 05/21/08, 08:00 AM

Washed up as well numnuts. hence him being in the MLS

dwUK1986 | 05/21/08, 09:53 AM

Those mesicans soccer announcers on UUUnivision are a trip bro -- the tall one can barely speack spanish and he IS spanish... you ought to listen to that guy....he is a clown!

I is the man | 05/21/08, 03:04 PM

What next- Maradona to the Tampa Bay Bucking Broncos? or whatever passes for a 'franchise' in the MLS.

dwUK1986 | 05/22/08, 09:16 AM

MLS, if this is true at all, please stop going after WASHED UP players!!!
