snake Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 is there a chance i think there is when he came out to vancouver last summer for his zidane and friends tourney he had the opportunity to spend a few weeks here in vancouver and whistler. apparently his wife and kids fell in love with the city during his visit here and could be persuaded to maybe come out to the west coast for a few years.steve nash is a friend of zidanes which obviously plays in the caps favor. just speculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcmurph Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Too old. At 38 this year he is far too old. Not that he couldn't light it up once in a while but for a physical league like MLS and to do 30+ games? No. His first injury would take him out for far too long. At that age injuries just take forever to heal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and White Army Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Too old. Djorkaeff played in a past, poorer era. Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I don't think it would work out, MLS is getting faster and harder every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadasBest Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I do think that luring players to Vancouver will be easier than a lot of the other MLS markets. Not having a grass field will be a big drawback however. I also think that there is the potential of a friend or two of Nash's to join the team. I just don't think it would be Zidane for the age issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macksam Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I hear Riquelme is potentially leaving Boca. I consider him one of the best players ever to play the game. At 32 years old; do it up Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottie Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I thought the Zidane and friends thing was a hoax? What proof do you have of Zidane and his family "falling in love with the city"? Also he's f*ing RETIRED, duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulsar Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 No way should Zidane play here or play at all. Now if I could choose anyone for DP (which I doubt we will have next year) my choice would be Cassano or aiming higher it would be Ozil . If I wanted a retiree, I would choose Scholes.

Which of these things is not quite like the others...Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Vancouver Whitecaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Are you serious Pulsar? Ozil is on the cusp of being the best player in the World Cup arguably as is what 20? 22? maybe, and you think he's a viable option to join up with an expansion MLS team? Scholes on the other hand would be awesome, but still yeah he's old, but if you saw his goal today doesn't look like he should be leaving the level he is at.

pulsar Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Which of these things is not quite like the others...Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Vancouver Whitecaps? Of course Ozil or Cassano etc.... wouldn't come here. I am openly dreaming of some of the players in the world that I would like to have on my team. Dreaming being the key word. Since this has been dummied down to Sesame Street level, I am going to say Bayern Munich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Riquelme >>>>>>>>>> Scholes. Yeah, and a much more viable option for the MLS. Scholes I doubt leaves England, while Riquelme may be ready to leave Argentina again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklefan Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Riquelme wanted a contract of 4 years with Boca Juniors, he wanted 4 years, not less, otherwise he was leaving to play in Brazil (where players win 3-4 times more than players in Argentina First Division). One week ago Riquilme obtained what he wanted, a 4 years contract with Boca, so I would not count him as a DP for some club in the MLS. BTW, if you ask me, I doubt he will play 4 more years for Boca Juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklefan Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I don't follow. Sorry for my english, I meant that players in Brazil first division are paid 3 or 4 times more than players in the Argentinean first division. That would explain why you will see Argentinean players in Brazilian clubs but never Brazilians in Argentinean clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
