Rumors are rampant that Raul Gonzalez will join NY Red Bull next season. He is 32 years old and is arguably the best Spanish player of the last couple decades. For me, he is the 3rd best striker over the last 15 years behind 1. Thierry Henry (also being linked) and 2. Ronaldo (Brazil).
This would be huge if both Henry and Raul join NY Red Bull. For soccer fans, Paolo Maldini is an icon, but his inclusion wont have the impact of the other 2 (plus Beckham).

sleeper - I think this is supposed to be on the politics forum. Apparently there has been something going on with immigration laws and we're going to be getting a bunch of new refugees.

All past their prime, but still good for the MLS. I'd be stoked if Henry game to the US. Hes my favorite player of all time. He could come in and dominate.

I would go see NY if they had Henry. Along the same lines as Automatik, he is my favorite player of all time.

I don't think Columbus would be the ideal market for past European stars.
I don't see why Ruud Van Nistelroy doesn't make the move to the US. He barely gets time at Madrid.

The MLS is gradually improving. They have tv contracts, starting to get more respect around the world. They are expanding and adding franchises in all parts of US, and now even in Canada. It will never be that closely followed in the US, but they are making strides...

He is now on loan (or maybe a full transfer) to Hamburg I believe.Automatik wrote: I don't think Columbus would be the ideal market for past European stars.
