Stalteri back?

big question how much speed he's retained at his age, and coming off a major injury

After reading the report, I now expect a more mobile Stalteri. Yeah, his last few years for the CMNT have been rough because he has decline athletically. However, the procedures have apparently cleared up the issues with his joints, and if Paul comes back quicker and healthier, then he would be a big help to the nats. The question is, would he want to come back or would he rather remain retired from international football? Afterall, he is only 34, two years younger than Jazic, but brings a wealth of experience and leadership (and RB certainly has been an issue for us hasn't it).

Perhaps his best bet is landing a contract with a top B2 team like St. Pauli, or one of the newly relegated clubs like Koln. Would be neat to see him aside McKenna at club level (assuming he stays, which I think he will). The other possibility I see would be in the Championship.

No doubt in my mind that Paul will want to come back to the national team, as long as he gets the call he'll be there

This certainly can't hurt! Maybe an MLS move?

Interesting, but I can't see him returning to MLS because of salary. I would guess he was making at least 300-400 K in euros with BM (probably more but I am being conservative). No MLS team is going to pay him that cash as a DP, and he is not going to play for non DP money with a family to support.

I feel the same way. It would be pretty sweet if he found a club and got into game shape before the Sept and Oct dates. I do not know if Hart would call him otherwise. Then again though, he was getting the call when he was seeing no action with BM.
