The MLS just doesn't have the appeal or salary cap to a) attract younger stars and b) keep them here.<BR/><BR/>Juan Toja is the ideal candidate for a DP slot IMO, but the fact of the matter is that he still aims for Boca Juniors fame and he feels that his best chances to succeed lie overseas.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, going young is more financially and strategically sound, but the way things are at the moment makes finding such a star almost impossible. You'd have to find someone young, but no too young, and good, but not too good, to avoid having them leave or be swept up by a larger club.DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802370804762539167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273302223746311166.post-30807493173888013642007-07-21T12:48:00.000-04:002007-07-21T12:48:00.000-04:00Sorry, that was me.

United's two key players are almost cooked. <BR/><BR/>Veron would certainly be an instant upgrade for this, and maybe next year, but long-term, getting better younger is smarter than getting better older.<BR/><BR/>As for DP, I think we probably agree when I say if United WAS to use the DP for a defender, he'd better be Cannivaro.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273302223746311166.post-69261302329151308022007-07-21T12:17:00.000-04:002007-07-21T12:17:00.000-04:00So you're saying we should use our DP slot on a le...So you're saying we should use our DP slot on a left back?<BR/><BR/>If we brought in Veron, this is what I see:<BR/><BR/>-----Emilio--------Moreno------<BR/><BR/>----------Fred/Gomez-----------<BR/><BR/>Fred/Gomez---Veron-----Olsen/Moose<BR/><BR/>Gros----Boz----Vanney---McTavish<BR/><BR/>-----------Perkins--------------<BR/><BR/>And if we found a proper left back, dandy. More for us. I know you're not smitten with Veron, but this lineup is making me drool for the Superliga.DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802370804762539167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273302223746311166.post-43544729396251203522007-07-21T09:39:00.000-04:002007-07-21T09:39:00.000-04:00Fred was brought in to replace Gomez.Fred was brought in to replace Gomez.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
