Hi,
I am newly join in this site.This site is very useful to others.Why a Flat Fee MLS Listing is better than listing with a 6% Realtor You get the same MLS listing in the same local MLS for a one-time low Flat Fee instead of 6%.
If you sell your home without a buyer’s agent involved, there is zero commission.More exposure on hundreds of national MLS websites. Many 6% Realtors limit the exposure to public websites to increase their chances of getting the entire 6% commission.

yeah, the interview made a favorable impression on me. thanks for trolling, dave. it’s good to know he acknowledges that MLS is fast, physical, and precise … because el zurdo was lacking in all those areas after his initial burst, quite frankly.
i can believe he may have been exhausted and had trouble adjusting. seeing rojas come back to prove himself in 2009 would be appreciated — despite the guaranteed deal. but then, it’s not his guaranteed deal that really makes me bark with outrage. but that’s another post …

what Ive gotten from this thread is that Rojas will play futbal for clothes because hes Venezuelan but were he Cuban he would not. Also he’d prefer to be playing baseball. And George Bush doesnt care about MLS people.

Im pretty sure Im right about these things

Hey Chris – just to let you know, when other outlets do such a great job explaining a situation, I usually just put it in the ALL THE BULL segment weekly and comment on it briefly. Kassel has been covered like a bed spread by Ives, but it all happened before my all the bull posts. Here is what I think though:

I have seen very limited action with Kassel, so I can not pretend to be more informed than what I am on his ability. But I do feel that it is extremely important for the Red Bulls to not only boast the best developmental soccer program in the United States, but to also start seeing the fruits of their investment in their on the field product. Think of it this way – Kassel is well on the Generation Adidas path. And that is in direct correlation with the support of the Red Bulls development program. Would you rather give semi-senior player dough to an unknown, unproven draft commodity? Or do you go with a guy you developed from babe to man, that may deserve that extra dough? Its about time that the senior squad start seeing the fruits of its investments.

In the end, though, RB should know the value behind Kassel more than we do. They will have a very important call to make.

But that is my take.

I will say I hate the photo Ives always uses on SBI for Kassel, since it looks as if he is wearing a DC jersey.

Lol Nolan definately missed the joke.

And besides, I do understand the circumstances. Chavez hates America becuase we are capitalist. He thinks capitalism is the root of all evil in the world and because America is the most capitalist country we are the root of all evil.

I only have one thing to say to him….mind your own business!

I don’t hate venezula because they are socialist. He shouldn’t hate us either.

Anyway, I do think much more about Rojas now, I’m glad some people actually appreciate america.

btw….any comments on the kassel situation?

Was that sarcasm? Wow, makes my self-righteous ass feel stupid.

Anyway I really enjoyed the article, glad Rojas is committed to the cause and definitely think he has a lot to offer. But I’m also biased and want to see as many South Americans play in New York as possible, so what do I know.

Hey Nolan from Canada, I think you totally missed the joke.

“He better not let Hugo Chavez hear those comments or we might not see him ever again.”

Please avoid making politically charged comments if you don’t understand the circumstances.

One thing that separates Venezuela from the rest of South America is that it’s baseball country, and so football is not a major money maker. Venezuela is not Cuba, it’s league is privately owned and professional, but the wealthy are not going to invest in football the way they do in say, most other oil countries, because while the league is profitable it’s not profitable the way it is in Mexico or Colombia, and their best players will most likely test their luck in other countries. It has nothing to do with the current Venezuelan government, it’s like blaming Bush for MLS developmental players making insignificant salaries.
