His contract is up June 1 from Hamburg...He's good friends with Winter....and unlike other 34 year old Euro strikers he can still score a lot....I'd be very surprised if TFC doesn't at least talk to him seriously...

He's got too much quality. I think he'll get picked up by a big club in Europe. Very few players would do what Henry did.

yeah Real put a bid in on him but Hamburg refused.
Itd be amazing and a hell of a coup but i dont see it happening sadly, although its not terribly unrealistic

Damn I'm salivating at the thought of seeing him in a TFC uniform.

That was only TEMPORARY because Higuin was injured...Real won't want him next season....

never ever happen at this stage in his career. although you've probably just given the F/O a great idea for the next "very close to talking with/possibly being in same country at same time as" leaked rumor.

RvN's name has been trotted about on these boards continuously since day 1.

Let it go.

It's a bit early for this, somewhere around August and season ticket renewals would be more likely rumour time....

I'd much rather we sign young up an coming players, specifically from Latin America, for a couple of years before they go off to Europe than sign Euro "name" players on retirement contracts. I'm not convinced that DP signings, especially of that sort really bring success.

No.

Ruud would bang in the goals unlike some former U20 southern americans

I don't think it translates that easily quite frankly. He won't have the talent around him, the scrutiny or the motivation he has now. Besides, I think people underestimate the travel in MLS, it can wear on you. It takes a special kind of player to keep motivated in making the move to MLS. I'm not as convinced as you are.

Ruud would be a good signing, and would certainly give a shto to the arm of the fanbase.

Mark van Bommels contract is also done with Bayern Munich up again a good Dutchie

No thanks. We don't need two defensive midfielders taking 2 DP slots. Surely we can get a goal scorer for that kind of money.

I wonder what the fan reaction would be, if we signed a second defensive midfielder DP? LOL

Although if they would replace JDG with Van Bommell the reaction would be different. Massive upgrade and I'll take that in a heartbeat :)

I think that RVN would be a decent DP signing, but to be honest he'd probably only last one year. He's temperamental and would probably want to fuck off sooner or later (just as he's done at every club he's ever played for). That being said, sign him for 6 months to a year if you get the chance. By the time things start to go pear shaped he'd be gone anyways.

would love to see RvN in red again, but his knee isn't the best and I'd be afraid early on somebody in this league would take it out. Though if he does coem, there a betetr chance now, not just cause of Winter but because we've lost that nasty artificial turf.
