I dunno, seems like it takes injuries to force Backe into playing a lineup he should have tried long ago. This is the second extremely talented player that he failed to utilize. It’s like he’s paid a bazillion dollars to stand around the sidelines and have bad hair days, the very least the dude could do is, you know, learn his own $&%^#@ roster.

I can understand the frustration and despair. We have become the Washington Redskins of Major League Soccer.

I’m glad to leave you behind. Go root for Toronto Footy Culture.

This is a travesty. RBNY doesn’t know how to nurture talent. This young man has talent and flair. He looks great on the field. Supple brown muscles straining against his shirt, sweat pouring down his wahboard abs.

Oh, yes, yes, YES!

seems like he wanted away from RBNY but not away from NY/NJ. I would have liked agudelo for shalrie joseph.

it also sucks going to chivas who have got to be the least legitimate team in MLS.

Kind of overdramatic, don’t you think? I can see identifying with Agudelo as local, an academy product, etc. but how are you identifying with Henry? Just curious, because there may very well be other players that you can identify with, for example, Lade (academy product) or Meara (local kid who went to a local college) or Lindpere, who is unarguably hardworking and dedicated. What are you looking for?

Agree Conrad. Any athlete who doesn’t speak in Iambic Pentameter should just keep his mouth shut #sarcasm

How was he inarticulate. That was a very solid interview if you ask me. He seemed to speak well and cordially about all involved in the process. Maybe a little to focused on his own development rather than helping Chivas win games, but lets be real, agudelo does not want to stay in MLS any longer than need be and is looking to get himself to Europe. His goal is to improve himself as much as possible and really become the class striker many of us believe he can be.

Good for Robin Fraser,…this is a good move for Chivas. While I am disappointed to see Juan move on, I am thinking that Pearce will help the Red Bulls. Having the left sided player may allow Lindepere to move into the middle permanently.

Good luck to all.

To many Me’s & I’s in that interview and not enough us and teams for my liking. I do understand his point of view, and a a Red Bull supporter- wish him luck.

Fraser is putting together a nice squad. I don’t think Califf is better than Heath Pearce though. Pearce has come into his own the past 2 seasons.

Wow! I’ve never heard Juan Agudelo interviewed before, and he impressed. He showed a level of perspective and care in the way he discussed things that many athletes never attain.
