So Beckham to fire Phil soon? That must be awkward.
It’s always a bad idea hiring a friend.So Beckham to fire Phil soon? That must be awkward.
He was average, he had one good season and the reality is he couldn't have been that good because Sir Alex was looking to replace him the following season.Absolute no chance was he a shit player, when he was at United he was one of the world's best left-backs, and only took another world-class left-back in Evra to dislodge him
This is it for me. A fighter who l thought was lacking in several departments when compared to the real top quality players in his position. Evra was so much better, and coupled with his antics around his transfer I soon forgot about Heinze.He was never world class, not in a million years. He had tons of gusto but he was defensively shaky as feck. His blood and thunder attitude won fans over but he was low on quality, his positioning was horrible and he was incredibly rash. Bang average at best and I was delighted when we got rid.
He was way better than Rojo.A poor man's Rojo
I don’t think you need to look too far past “Miami” and “David Beckham” to be honest, couple that with the budget available and they should be doing a lot better. The problem is they’ve fallen into the trap of signing the wrong type of players who are there for the wrong reasons, a lot of MLS clubs do it in their early days and they have exacerbated this by appointing two managers with no MLS experience. They did bring in Chris Henderson as sporting director earlier in the year so I think he’ll make a difference over time with regards to improving the player recruitment but it takes time.Yeah i stand corrected about the first season, My mates an Orlando fan, he's absolutely loving it too!!
As for the wage bill - how else are they going to get players to play for them? A team with no history and no real chance against established teams/franchises, they had to pay top dollar for Higuan and Pizarro, they take up most of the wage bill!!
They should sign Bosingwa. I'll never forget how happy he looked after the game where QPR's relegation was confirmedI don’t think you need to look too far past “Miami” and “David Beckham” to be honest, couple that with the budget available and they should be doing a lot better.

Atlanta for example brought in the right manager & players from the start and were MLS Cup winners in season two. It is doable with a new club but everything has to be done right but I think they fell into many of the common traps for expansion teams.

People forget that he was our player of the season (albeit in a bad season), and then had a very bad injury. Still did quite well on his third season here, despite losing his place to Evra in the second half of the season (but then Evra became arguably the best LB in the world, so no shame on that).
Mad that people still believe this, when both Ferguson and Gill have went on the record to say we were willing to pay the previously agreed fee.Shit player seems out of bitterness to me. I thougth he was quality, he is from South America so dont udnerstand the anger at supposed lack of loyalty, he was second choice after all because of Evra. Similar with Tevez, we didnt pay the loan fee to make it permanent, again he has no ties to the club or English football.
For me the both gave there all for the club while here, were real fighters with quality as well. Would much rather that than players that kiss the badge and speak so highly of the club.....but dont perform, Heinze performed
yeah, I think you're right - Higuan was a busted flush right from the start.I don’t think you need to look too far past “Miami” and “David Beckham” to be honest, couple that with the budget available and they should be doing a lot better.

But for some reason Tevez and his owner never replied and decided to go to City instead, I wonder why? £$£$
It's a mystery I tell you.
Well obviously if we weren't supposed to pay it until June/July 2009.We only offered to pay him after it became clear City were after him. We jerked him around his second season after buying Berbatov and playing him over Tevez
Behave he was much better than Rojo.A poor man's Rojo
I feel like the Liverpool thing was just a charade to get a move to Real.I never fully understood the hate. He lost his starting spot to Evra and wanted to move on. But because he wanted to go to another top club (yes rivals and all that) he became a villain.
Anyway, still like him.

Low on quality - objectively not true. Horrible positioning? You hardly play left-back for Man Utd if that was the case, objectively false. Bang average at best? Again, he played left-back for Manchester United. Objectively not true here as well. Your post is pretty terrible. Heinze was a good player with a sweet left-foot and tons of aggression, we need a few more like him.He was never world class, not in a million years. He had tons of gusto but he was defensively shaky as feck. His blood and thunder attitude won fans over but he was low on quality, his positioning was horrible and he was incredibly rash. Bang average at best and I was delighted when we got rid.
if that does signal the end of his managerial career I don't know what will.Tweet

I don't know why he would even do this? Maybe he's got a few screws loose.if that does signal the end of his managerial career I don't know what will.
Hated him after that Liverpool shit he pulled but all of what you wrote is spot on.Absolute no chance was he a shit player, when he was at United he was one of the world's best left-backs, and only took another world-class left-back in Evra to dislodge him

Yes they were. Atlanta were not integrated into MLS, they were an expansion team that never played a professional game before joining the MLSI stand corrected about Miami, but Atlanta were not a new team when Integrated into the MLS, so it's very different to Miami's situation.
Probably the sort of guy Rojo would throw a fire extinguisher at
Anyone know what was the supposed logic in limiting the amount of water the players drank?
