OH MY GOD.... SOMEONE POSTED ON THE LARS BOARDS!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey, I was lonely.  I was shouting ADIDAS to a soccer ball I made friends with in a cave.

 

I'm gonna go with Voldemort.

The Boards must return. Good to see the faces of LARS folk at the Cup. Family, friends, futbol; good times. I'm not sure which players have their contracts up but according to Brucey, the G's are already in talks with a handful or players. I'm guessing an aging Euro midfielder. What's Nani up to these days? He's still good, right? In Bruce We Trust.

I don't like Nani.  He is frustrating.  I picture him being an MLS bust.

 

How about Luis Fabiano?  Still kind of young at 34.  Playing at Sao Paolo.  Don't we have a good relationship with that club?  Heard Brazilian teams are financially strapped.

 

Bet the Cubo Torres thing is happening.  

 

Here's one for breaking out the beers:  Fernando Torres?  

 

Korean ethnic pandering:  Lee Keun-ho.  Hard working, still only 29, plying his trade in Middle East.  Bring back Madame Gong.

Not familiar with the play of Luis Fabiano; to the YouTubes! Never really saw Cubo Torres play either. Torres? Again misfiring striker? I dunno. Keane was kinda on the same form when he joined the G's right? Maybe Brucey brings in Mix Deskerud or Alejandro Bedoya and pisses off Klinsy. What about Stuart Holden? Did he retire or is he still getting over yet another knee injury? In Bruce We Trust.

There is no Donovan replacement: Angelino & California guy, EN/ES bilingual, face of the sport for more than a decade, leader & record holder in pretty much all categories for club, league & country.

 

Hoping for Snejider (30ish, speedy chance creator for wings or centrally)

 

Wouldn't mind Javier Hernandez (tough haven't seen much of him in recent years), Cubo Torres or another young-ish and upcoming MEX, Latino Nats player & prospect, instead of a European oldie.

 

According to ZeroCool and other sources Cubo Torres won't be it.

 

Don't want Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Gerrard etc. irrespective of the skills they might still have, they are all simply too old and only short term signings at best.

 

I'm not high on Diskerud, Bedoya or any current USMNT player except would have loved to see Bradley with the Galaxy, shame also Big Red turned down Beckerman for Vagenas too.

 

Stu Holden would be a cool pick up, must be a fantastic locker room guy, unfortunately with a terrible history of injuries, a DP contract wouldn't be wise however

Ben, you are correct, no one will replace Lando for a long time. This is for another thread but when will the US produce that next Lando, if ever? Maybe this time around the Sasha Kljestan deal goes through. Don't think he's worth DP money but definitely a good fit.

Depending on who you vote for in 138SC elections for the position of 'Digital Services', you may get boards attached to LARIOTSQUAD.ORG. This would be a huge step forward. I hope you look into it and make a good choice!

OR ELSE

KABOOM!!

In Bruce We Trust. I guess he's still playing good ball. The guy is a Liverpool legend and doesn't think he'll be able to crack the starting line up next season; cash grab? Perhaps.
