This weird ageism people have about 30 year olds need to end.

What would you rather have, the trophies that Landon will win us or the extra money in Kenwright's account we'll get if we buy a worse but younger winger like Nani and then sell him 5 years later?

It's all FIFA Ultimate Team/Moneyball rubbish. 20 year olds are instantly valuable, irrespective of their talent or accomplishments. Look at Rodwell. £12m on hype alone

It's been a while lads.

That was 1953 like, when a footballers diet included 7 pints before kick off and a steak at half time

Stanley Mathew was a teetotaler and near-vegetarian, funnily enough... or at least according to his wikipedia

I would rather we didnt sign 32 year old wingers who have pondered the need to retire several times over the last few years. And also who would be sick of the weather in this country within 2months.

Its not the age its the miles. US players tend to get better when they hit 30 because they didn't have to kill themselves with 60 matches/year like European players do. Hell if they were internationals they get to leave the club as well.

As far as Everton, I think all his buds from the 1st stay are gone and he'd have to fight for his place. One of the best things Moyes ever did here was put him in right away and keep him at one position. Not sure he'd like it here that much anymore.

It's over. No 4th World Cup.

The international career of the all-time leading United States Men's National Team scorer is done.

Thanks for the memories.

Can we burn this thread now with super hot fire

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Absolute disgrace that he's been dropped. Unbelievable and unforgivable by Klinsmann.
