cndsoccer Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Good for him...i'm sure he would be able to make that money in the A. i don't think so!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Yeah...good for him...definitely a goos step by the sounds of things. Hard to know whether we can say it's great for his football or not, considering all the guys (like himself) getting to Europe out of the A-League these days, and also considering guys like old Jason Bent who never seemed to get much of a sniff despite all his steady work in the MLS. Maybe Adrian, and possibly DDR too, have just resigned themselves to being MLS guys for eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud Mouth Soup Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 For $120,000 US per year, I wouldn't mind 'resigning myself' to MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Bizarro comment from his coach Mo Johnston from the www.bigapplesoccer.com press release: "I wouldn't say really good," Metros coach Mo Johnston said when asked about Serioux's pre-season thus far. "I'd say he did enough to make us sign him." What the hell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanKeay Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 There paying him 120,000 and his tryout was sufficient.. WOW..... man i gotta get a tryout from Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoyleG Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 As per the title of the Metros forum on big soccer. Metrostars: We're getting better all the time. Really. EDIT: Barring any major increase in the salaries of the others, Serioux will be the highest paid Canadian in MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 quote:Originally posted by DoyleG Barring any major increase in the salaries of the others, Serioux will be the highest paid Canadian in MLS. You're right. Onstad and De Rosario both earned slightly less last season (and Will Johnson made a lot less), although I think DeRo's contract was only a one-year deal, and if that's the case, than Dwayne should be making a lot more now as Houston's de facto franchise player.

Not taking the actual comment seriously, just can't believe the sort of "promotion" the new coach is giving his new signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew W Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Mo's moods change like the wind. He's clearly from the school of knock 'em down, build 'em up, as he's had a little run at about just about every one in camp so far. In that article or another one (I'll dig for it) Mo essentially says Serioux is tough and uncompromising in challenges and gets the ball to Guevara and Djorkaeff. Sounds like what you'd want your defensive midfielder to do. I don't think you offer up your last SI slot and pretty good MLS jack (plus 4-years to boot) and give the guy the responsibility that comes with that position in the 3-5-2 formation Mo favours, if you don't think he can do the job. Add to that, his cover at the position is a 19-year-old with little or no experience and I think Mo's playing a bit of a shell game here. As for DeRo, he is in the second year of a two-year deal, so he's on the open market again next year (although Houston would retain his MLS rights). Edit: Here's the quote, it's from the BigAppleSoccer.com story. "He's strong, is passing more to Amado [Guevara] and Youri [Djorkaeff] and will sit in that pocket and get tackles in. That's what we want from Adrian." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desigol Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 "His ability to deliver hard tackles, cover ground, defend and maintain possession make him the perfect complement to Amado Guevara and Mark Lisi, who appears to have played his way into the other starting defensive midfield role." Sounds like the player Arsenal need at the mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Could you have asked for a better 1st MLS contract? And this for a non goal scorer who's pedigree is A-League football interrupted by 30-40 CCC matchs with Millwall and a rather miserable record in what caps he has won during international duty. Well good for you Adrian! I'm going to very much enjoy MLS this year I think. Not quite sure MLS is going to enjoy you, but that's there problem. Well done.

Crazy_Yank Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 I think it's a great signing for the metrostars. I wouldn't read too much into Mo Johnston's quote. He likes to keep his players level headed and hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
