To London:

I would love to see Altidore at a mid-table Prem or Bundesliga team. Tottenham is a great team, but if he doesn’t peform well off the bat he’ll take a sidestep to some of the other players & won’t get the experience that he needs.

Nice post, Dave, and thanks for making good on your earlier promise to highlight Mathis’s brilliance. And on that point, outrageous that he hasn’t made it onto the list for the MLS goal of the week.

Why is everyone here so certain that Altidore is for sale? I thought he was locked into a long-term contract. Mind you, some European exposure would be great for him – I’m thinking of a club like Tottenham Hotspur or Deportivo La Coruna or PSV Eindhoven – especially if he could be enticed back to the States. And who knows where MLS will be by the time he’s 25?

“P.S…. when we sell Jozy at the end of the year, we use the money to should fire Arena and hire Capello.”

hahah I laugh at myself.

I typed out half the sentence, and then went back to “fix it”, and it got garbled.

When we sell Jozy at the end of the year, we should use the money to fire Arena, and hire Capello.

hehe.

Believe me, the Reyna post is in the works.

And Cannon was THERE man of the match, def not ours. His only mistake was a costly one, but jeez, their defense was atrocious to say the very least.

Hey Tommy, remember the Capello rumors just a few weeks ago hat suddenly and mysteriously subsided? Makes you wonder . . .

Oh, and I agree with TW, Reyna is over the hill and not worth that money, relative to other MLS salaries that is.

Exciting game, but it was like that, mostly, because of shoddy defense and poor goalie play. From my perspective, it looked like your man of the match dragged Angel’s shot into the goal with him to give NYRB the win. Had he just deflected it or even let it go, it would have gone across the face of the goal as a close, but harmless miss.

Again, exciting game and I wish it had been an ESPN game, but a good game for the MLS nevertheless.

Oh come on Dave. The only reason Reyna should be under “The Bad” is because he is. Forget your admiration as a player, because you -know- he isn’t playing at the level that you, or I want him to. I really think Reyna is a waste of a DP for the Bulls, and I believe tonight proved it for me. He just doesn’t have it anymore. He back-passes way too often, and the team seems a bit lackluster when he is on the field. And at 350k, he is taking up way too much money out of our funds. There are much better players (yes I said it) for less money. And at 33 years old and very injury prone…coming off a weak World Cup how was his move justified? Joe Vide at 12k a year should have his spot.

Reyna destroys the attacking mentality of this team. He destroyed Landon’s attacking mentality on the nationals, and now he’s doing that to our attackers.

Sorry for the long on going rant, but I just don’t think Reyna is good anymore, and brings the club’s attacking ability way down.

P.S…. when we sell Jozy at the end of the year, we use the money to should fire Arena and hire Capello.
