Chris Innes is a great defender and I agree he will cruise the MLS. He made some rubbish defenders at Gretna look good as he lead them. He deserves more credit. Funny how when he wasn’t playing Gretna struggled, prime example is now since he is not there!! NYRB are getting a class defender!

Well . . . if we sign em brother. I am hoping we get it done soon.

Thats that is hysterical. I always find it funny that the most obscure players bring about the most response.

Well, that’s that then. The main feature I remember from the few Gretna matches I’ve seen this season was the incredibly leaky defense, including Innes. But I certainly yield to the Gretna fans. I hope he works out for you.

Yea Ian, I am takin all the European advice on this one . . . Makinwa stinks and Innes would be great!

Henry Makinwa is useless. I am a gretna fan ttend every game and he is no good. So much so the manager shouted to him exactly what he thought of him. Chris would be a good defender.

I agree, as a St Mirren punter I rate Innes as a solid defender. All the best big man!!!

Innes will be a fantastic signing. As for the person who actually regards Makinwa to be a pro footballer needs to learn the game. I am a Dundee United fan in the UK and Chris Innes is a true leader and one of the most composed defenders. It was the arabs fortune to have had him. He was always better than Gretna but he will cruise the MLS!!!!! Good luck Chris!

Innes is an interesting signing for the MLS, but he’s certainly not the best of the Gretna castoffs, despite the captaincy. Personally, I’d go with Henry Makinwa to MLS, but RBNY don’t need a striker.

I think that the league already has picked up Kenny “Dr. Goal” Deucher (RSL) and Caig (back up keeper Houston) from the implosion. Must be some agent in those parts with MLS contacts.
