Long view. If anyone had said 4 weeks ago I'll give you 9 points on the next 4 games 100% of us would have taken that deal.
So now Chicharito, Dos Santos, Johannsen and Julian Green are all available.
Twellman said that MLS is working on a new mechanism for Chicharito and Dos Santos. The money is there from certain owners to buy these players. Columbus/Colorado/RSL wouldn't be happy if there was a 4th DP. Probably not New England or DCU either.
But those 4 guys bring more eyeballs and higher gates if they play here. Garber needs to find this new "mechanism" to get these guys here.
Signing Chicharito or Dos Santos would be monstrous for teams like Houston, Chicago, any of the California teams, etc. for areas that have large Mexican populations.
The idea that I saw from a few people was having a CONCACAF DP slot as the 4th DP.
RJ got the assist for Mullins when we played in Jersey.And finally a little ray of sunshine. I never video. For some reason I did for this one shining moment. Props to AJ for being involved in a goal for the first time this season.
I have been saying for years that the MLS does not do enough to promote to our Hispanic culture. we really need to have Calle and Velasquez do a spot in Spanish and play it on Univision or Telemundo to get people from ALL over NYC to YS.This can't be understated enough. My girlfriend is Mexican and lives in California. When I was out there the two most iconic figures it seemed were Our Lady of Guadeloupe and Chicharito. It will also greatly increase viewership in Mexico.

He's not saying dress them in sombreros and have them appear with a mariachi band, but doing spots telling people to come thru yankee stadium to watch games or have them appear regularly local Spanish TV helps. They had Villa appear on those channels and I'm sure it drew people. Having them appear regularly drills into people that were the local team.Is that kind of racist? I don't know but I'm Irish with a little Italian. If someone on NBC marketed to "white people" with a Godfather type commercial, it wouldn't interest me. If it's some mick with a thick brogue, I'm in.
That and these two players are nobodies.
I said AJ, not RJ, as in the cross from Mix was headed by Andrew Jacobson (AJ) over to TMac.RJ got the assist for Mullins when we played in Jersey.
PREACH!Williams, Brovsky, Wingert, Brandt, Grabavoy, Velasquez, Nemec out
Iraola, Angelino, NEW CB, Pirlo, Lampard, NEW ST in
I apologize. My mistake.I said AJ, not RJ, as in the cross from Mix was headed by Andrew Jacobson (AJ) over to TMac.
Forget ethnicities..you know what draws fans? Winning.
