Re: World Soccer XVIII: A New Season
Interesting aspect to the Rooney story. Everton get 25% of the transfer fee if he's sold (if it's over 27m pounds). That would seem to free up funds for Landon transfer, if that's what they want.

That is also if MLS is willing to part with him. Sure, the money would be nice, but how much of a hit would it be in the loss of ratings if Lando does make his move to Everton permanent.

Re: World Soccer XVIII: A New Season
Well, yeah. But everyone has a price. Say Rooney really does go (if he goes at all) for the 100 million pound figure that's being tossed around. That's 25m going to Everton, which works out to $40m USD. MLS supposedly values Landon around $16m.
As for a hit in the loss of ratings, MLS games are consistently in the .2-.4 range as it is, and Garber claims he doesn't care about them anyway.

Shameless plug for a thing I wrote:
Last weekend, Joe Posnanski wrote an article ranking the 32 current NFL coaches by how good they were as players. I wrote something similar about the 32 managers at this past summer's World Cup, which has been printed as a guest post by the excellent Fulham blogger Rich Allen of Craven Cottage Newsround, who himself wrote, on Monday, a similar piece about the 20 current Premier League managers, also inspired by the Joe Posnanski article. If you're interested in more of my blathering, you should go read it.

Rooney signs 5 year deal with United
Wow, I honestly believed he was gone.

Of course you're not, because the same news was linked two posts before yours.

I said as soon as I heard the news, he would end up staying with United. There is no logical place for him to go.

Re: World Soccer XVIII: A New Season
I wonder if people in the US would view contracts any differently if we valued them on a per week basis. To me, 180,000 a week sounds high, but really it only works out to around $15 million US, which isn't really more than big name guys over here make.

Re: World Soccer XVIII: A New Season
True it wouldn't be out of place on the Yankees. But those sorts of numbers blow away anything in the wage structure of almost every soccer team in the world. I'm pretty sure Arsenal don't have anyone who remotely approaches a wage like that, and probably nobody else other than City and Chelski do in England.

Decidedly on the other end of the money spectrum, it appears Portsmouth may go out of business.
Really a shame if true.

Re: World Soccer XVIII: A New Season
And they had actually been playing pretty well lately, against all expectations. They've become such a financial mess the last couple years that I can't say I really understand much about their situation anymore. But, always a shame to see a team on the verge of disappearing. Crazy how you can with the FA Cup and shortly thereafter be in such bad shape.
