Seems like we got him to be our LB or Left Mid and some said maybe even a C mid, then he plays like crap, gets hurt, has some sort of cosmetic nose surgery months ago and we never hear of him.  Never see him dress for games or even see the guy.  Is he still with the team? Does he practice?  Will he ever play for us again??  We never hear anything abouth this guy who is paid almost near top non DP money. Anybody have a status update on this guy?

Does it really matter where he is? He hasn't contributed at all to the team so who cares at this point.

Here's how I see it:

 

Comes to Red Bulls and "takes less money" to be closer to home and family. Doesn't perform too well. His name surfaces around MLS as being on the trading block. Less than a week after that, he elects to have surgery that could have waited til the offseason. Why? The front office probably sat down with him and explained that he wasn't going to play a role with this team and he is being shopped. He doesn't want to get traded after taking less to be here so he pulls a Heath Pearce and gets the surgery done so he doesn't go anywhere (and while he still has medical coverage). Red Bull sends him to a bunch of fundraisers while in recovery mode.

 

An article about two weeks ago stated that he is training with the club but doing individual practice.

 

It's a shame he is injured so often. He had a couple great come back seasons, but his age is getting up there. I also wonder if being partially blind in one eye is getting worse. Especially with the recent surgery/concussions. I wish the guy the best but I don't see him being relevant.

He only makes $147K.  Not worth that much, but still.

I'm a league where every cent counts, that's money down the drain.

Very true, but its not "near-DP money."  He used to be at that level, but we got him "cheap."

He reminds me of the older brother Chuck from Happy Days. One day suddenly just disappears
with no explanation.

This happened to Judy from Family Matters as well.
