NY already has Juan Pablo Angel, who does a fair amount of poaching. I think Henry will get to stretch his legs as much as he wants.
Wait a tic. I like Eric Cantona. I thought he was a hell of a player – from what I could watch of him from accross the pond – but … “… a player with true footballing class …”
Didn’t my man Eric the Red leap into the stands and lay a drop kick on an old lady after getting thrown out of a match once?
Replace “old lady” with “young guy” and “drop” with “karate” and you’ve got it.
As a Revs fan, I think this is a good thing. I don’t expect Henry to set the MLS world on fire, but he’ll get his goals and provide a bit of excitement. And if the Red Bulls come in and knock the stuffing out of the Revs, maybe, just maybe, it’ll make the Revs’ front office go, “Hey, wait a minute!”
I mean, maybe. There’s a chance, right?
Doubtful. Kraft doesn’t care about the Revs.
It’s shaping up to look like we’ll see Donovan, Beckham, and Ronaldinho vs Angel, Henry, and Marquez at some point in the near future.
I hate LA and NY, but I’d think about heading to Red Bull Arena to catch that.
