"15:00 March, 30, 2008 Seattle FC say they are at an 'advanced' stage of a deal to sign Thierry Henry" http://www.fansfc.com/frontpage/frontpagenews.asp?newsid=183000
That article really seems to have no substance, other than him sayin he may one like to play here. I'm sure he could easily find better deals in Europe.
he's intenselly rumoured to be interested in Red Bull NY mainly because apparently he loves NYC. BUt he would only do that if his career over there is over.
The thing is, NY could actually afford to break the bank for him. You know Jozy is gonna leave next offseason to Europe (maybe to a crappy team in Europe, but leave) and they really got nothing behind him (francis doe? I mean come on...)so I Henri would be a possibility. The MLS shouldn't do it though. Washed up superstars is not the way to go...
Its reported on FSC that they are offering him 300,000 pounds (I believe it was pouinds) a week. EDIT: It was 300,000 dollars a week.
Well Seatlle FC will have a lot of money availible, with Paul Allen an Drew Carey as the owners. Also they will play at the Seahawks stadium (Qwuest Field), with a 60,000+ capacity, compared to all the 20,000-28,000 places all the other teams, have or soon will have.
Yeah true but the thing is does anyone really watch soccer in this country? I'm not a fan of USA soccer at all because they dont have the proper system set up in soccer imo. They say they want to be like the premier league but have these SuperDraft things, East and West or something and just typical American way of sports. I wonder if they will ever be able to be something in soccer.
Playing on an American football field really isn't good for a soccer team. Most teams they have built soccer specific stadiums have seen increase in attendence.
