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.

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

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

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!!
