Alexi Lalas Tells It Like It Is On A Fox Soccer Segment

[Drainyoo]

Gained more respect for this dude after seeing this. Glad he did it, and he blames Lampard. Maybe folks will get how pissed we are.

Good on Alexi. Say what you want about the guy, but everyone has to agree on the fact that Lalas is not afraid to speak his mind and this time he is dead on accurate.

I really thought Alexi might take a swing. He was pissed.

I can't even watch the whole video, it cuts off after Alexi says Gerrard was a legend at Liverpool.

Wynalda is a NASL guy. He loves the fact that this happened. It's more about what this looks like for MLS. Bet you he'd be his usual self if it happened to his beloved NASL.

He has so many axes grind. Must be why he has to coach via Skype.

Exactly, what Wynalda did with Atlanta is so disgraceful I can totally see why he'd wonder what the big deal is with Lampard...

Making up for that or he's still mad at John Harkes.

F them. No one in the UK will understand why we're pissed about this.

Or even most likely in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal or infact any other footballing nation.

Yes. Clubs lie about player acquisitions all the time.

Do clubs loan or their players with no compensation all over the world?

Clubs will take a player on loan and pay part or full wages as per the players contract with the parent club. This has the effect of bringing down the wage bill of the parent club thus having a positive effect on FFP restrictions.

This has happened for years, nothing new.

Ok but do clubs usually give away their best players for no benefit in return at the other team's demand?

I'm sure it happens all the time...

It's way more complicated than that. There are all sorts of reasons why players go out on loan... from recovering from injury.... to development and match time.... to views to a permanent move.
They can be free... they can pay for a year's loan or they can have a contribution to the player's wage from the parent club... to a split of wages... to full payment of wage by loanee club.

Does the young man need development?
Which of those does Frank fall under?

Ask NYCFC why they want him, probably under the all sorts of reasons..

Yours and Tom's questions were not Lampard specific.
