You know we're pretty anal here about organization and such.
To prevent multiple threads about circular arguments regarding the Lamps fiasco all threads will be merged into this one.
Please respect this decision as it is in line with our Player Rumors, Schedule Discussion and so on.
I've done my fair share of b*tching about what happened with Frank. He is going to be here in July and the team will have to incorporate his talents.
A common theme that many of us have shared is that we are worried he will be exhausted from not having a break in 2 years.
MLS has a way of incorporating these older guys in new roles within a formation. Theirry Henry went from playing a Striker role to a 10 and then ended up playing as a LW this season for RBNY. Robbie Keane has moved around the pitch to become more of a facilitator, even Clint Dempsey became more facilitator than finisher this year.
I just wonder if Kreis/Reyna look at Frank as a Thierry Henry style #10. If you watched Henry the past two years, it seems as if he moved less than Robles. But he still made an impact on the game.
So here's to hoping they're able to utilize him while saving his legs for a Postseason run. And maybe to finding a box-to-box mid to do what Lampard used to do.
