I'm probably wrong but I don't think you retain a 2nd DP spot after they leave.Originally Posted by Yohan
the new DP rule will prolly allow teams to have 2.
and LA could have...... 5 maybe
Someone please remind me how they have that 2nd DP spot anyway...
no. DP spots acquired from trade lasts as long as the trade stipulations indicates. i don't know how long NY will have Chiva's DP spot, but I think it's for at least this season before going back to Chivas (i could be wrong on this)

Wow, JPA and Henry on forward. How would any defense in the MLS deal with that.
The disparity between money spent on attacking and defending players in this league is crazy.
by cutting off feed to them...
I'm not sure if JPA intends to retire soon (and I think he's got 1, maybe 2 seasons left) but it is risky trying to build a squad around 2 DPs

Ahhh - thanks. Did some digging around and I think you may be right. I couldn't find much, but what little I could find indicated that the DP spot goes back to Chivas after this year...
When is Angel's contract up?
soon? lol. JPA is 34. just how much more abuse is his body able to take in a physical MLS season?

If he does come after the world cup (which I highly doubt) we would get to see him against TFC on Aug 21. Sounds good to me.
Here's a hint: They acquired Chivas' DP slot for 5 years before the 2007 season in return for......

Henry is my fav player, growing up watching him in Arsenal and playing with France @ the World Cup years ago! Henry was one of the reasons I started to "Follow Footy" instead of just watching it!
This is great news for MLS but i wish we could get him!
SELL EVERYTHING FOR HENRY PLZZZZZZZ
#12 on TFC Red would look Sexy!
This would be a huge step in the right direction for MLS as far as global brand recognition. Henry is still in his prime...
after this pre-season, our offense could definitely use a helping hand
I heard from sources that it is already a done deal. Henry will be putting on a Shite Bulls jersey after the world cup
TO the tune of "volare."
A-Mado!
Gue-vara!
Robbo, Sutton, Boyens.... and Henry.

I love Thierry Henry, but I can also definitively state that the guy is not in his prime.

I hear the Knicks need a really good point guard. Henry handles the ball better than anyone else on that team.
Yeah watch out for the "Hand of God" MLS Officials lol! Is there instant replay in MLS hahha! Poor Henry, that hand just shipped his ass to the bottom of the barrel, NYC RBs! lol
from Barca to Redbull WOW WHAT HAPPEN HERNY!
average players worry about their 'prime years'.
Henry is one of the most naturally talented players on the planet,
and I bet that even two decades after his 'prime', he would still be
better than almost anyone in this league - Certainly smarter!
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
Garcia coul deal with both of them, singleanded
I hear he's negotiating to switch positions to keeper....
Easier said than done - Henry will drop deep to get the ball and kill you from there.
Look how effective Blanco has been - well past his prime.
yeah, but at least then you can concentrate more on Henry and not have to worry that much about rest of the team
or, could turn out that NY would have crazy goal scoring offence, but can't defend for shit (see LAG 08)

Blanco also had a good supporting cast. NY is still rebuilding and remains to be seen whether all their off season moves will workout or not

they seem to be further along in the 'construction of a new team' than we are.

As much as I hate that lazy fucker I'd love to see him in the MLS. I never thought I would be supporting a team where the opposing player was Henry. Man am I ever going to have fun seeing him at BMO field.
If this is true, we could potentially see him at BMO.
