He's a hard worker and does a decent job. But he's definitely old.

This is the Spanish version of Abel Xavier, and he plays for Blackburn, as in sitting at 19th out of 20 teams Blackburn.

When will you ever learn Galaxy!

36 is just a number. For him its the number of years he's been alive.

I'm at the age where any player older than me should never be considered for anything.

Hahaha.... so rad.

I doubt this happens and I post these links mainly for the sake of "conversation," but Arena is the kind of coach who values "experience" so if the price is right...

Also, as we've seen with Sarvas, Beckham's influence on player matters does not go ignored.

Now? He has been from the start.

But others have stood up to Beckham and survived. Maybe Sarvas is just a complete jerk and baby and deserves to be in the doghouse.

There might be, you know, a reason why this guy has been one or two years and out at every place he's played.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which "unskilled people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it." The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average.

Berhalter was 35 when he came to the G's and didn't have same amount of "miles" on him...

This...

At 36, he's just old enough to be hobbled by age and run through by years of playing in three major running cup competitions a year. Milan squeezed just about every droplet of talent from the Roman, who will be 37 by the time he finishes his first full MLS preseason. Assuming he even lasts that long. But he's been touched by genius, enough so that a needy enough MLS club will latch onto his name, his global cache and the steamily romantic fact that he wants us, and use the opportunity to throw some shekels at the Italian. So it has gone in the league since time immemorial.

Perhaps I value the league too much to be saying this, but I don't like it. MLS no longer needs to stoop its head below these low-set door lintels. Leaping when every washed up European international comes calling isn't the best policy, though I recognize his allure. It's not his current form that MLS suitors will see breaking up tackles in their mind's eye, but rather the CL Nesta of the early 2000's. And even in his wisened age, he very well could be a reliable backstop for another year or so. Maybe. He could also hoover up a king's wage, pull a hamstring in his second practice and never play. Both are feasible options.

EDIT: Belongs here:

Has a 30-something ex-Euro ever come to MLS and kicked major ass? Well, besides Sir David Beckham of course.

JPA was good for a while but head and shoulders above MLS? I don't think so.

Schellotto and Blanco certainly helped their teams at the end of their careers but they weren't Euros.

Henry has done fairly well.... but there hasn't been an over 30 euro defender in recent times that has dominated in MLS. If anything Marquez is a prime example of how one would most likely struggle...
