I wouldn't be shocked if he came to the MLS. This article seems to think Red Bulls or Galaxy with the Cosmo's as a "wildcard" I seriously doubt the Cosmo's would be in play. This is interesting to see how it plays out.

Side note this may be good news for USMNT youth Marc Pelosi.

If that's the case, I look forward to RBNY changing its twitter slogan from #RunWithUs to #SlipWithUs.

I still have nightmares about that game

once a red, always a red. i love liverpool but if he goes to the red shits, i will loose respect for him.

Wherever Gerrard will go for the next season, it'll be a great news if it could be in MLS. For sure, it shouldn't be for NYCFC (Chronic mismatch with Lampard).

 

[Yohann E.]

He'll always be a Red ! Even somewhere else.

How much could Gerrard command in salary if he signed with MLS as a DP (even with the new CBA coming up and Kaka on the books for $7 million USD)?

If his profile on Forbes is correct, then he's making $13 million USD this year at LIverpool. Would he take a pay cut if he signs an extension as a mid-30 year old or get paid the same?

That said, would MLS break the bank for Gerrard?

They might pay a bunch, but break the bank would be harsh. Gerrard hasn't looked himself. Maybe a move to MLS to let him recover his confidence, lost in that slip, would get him back to form and enable him to be productive in MLS, but I'm not sure.

Would love it if he ended up at RBNY.

He can't command 13 Mil per year. He's worth more here than in Europe, but he is not worth 13 Mil.

NBC is reporting Cosmos, not NYRB.

I'm having a tough time believing he would go to the Cosmo's. Could the Cosmos afford him?

 

[Yohann E.]

Don't forget that could be the last season of Thierry Henri at NYRB ... That will give some marge for another DP
Even if I think too that Gerrard has more chance to go to Cosmos.

 

[CP_Scouse]

Cosmos cant afford Gerrard. If anything he shoukd go to DC United or NE Rev

 

[SayWhat44]

Agreed there is no way cosmos can afford him. They have no tv money and they certainly aren't making a ton of money from ticket sales and merchandise. Not enough to pay 2 high payed free agents.

 

[BxLio91]

Maybe he'll take a 95% paycut because of the name and history.

The Cosmos can't afford anything....they have so little revenue. What they do have is Saudi money, so they can sign whoever they want.

 

[Goodfella]

If he came, it would be to LA to fill LD's vacant DP spot

 

[City-Nole]

Why would he ever sign with the cosmos? What is the attraction of a team that's not in the top league?

The latest report saying Toronto are eyeing him.
