I don't blame him. Philly is a shit hole!
Toronto is kinda nice, no?
Hell hath no fury like Philly phans scorned. I can just imagine the reception he'll get when he plays there for whichever team.
I was checking MLSR (dont hate me...) and some philly fan posted saying that when he goes to PPL park, he should be expecting a battery to the face...
Fucking pathetic.
OR MLSR posted that to encite shit. Really, dude, it's that kind of website.
If Pires came to TFC then i expect he'd end up as another Laurent Robert signing. he was a much, much better player and professional than LR was, btu I just cannot see him being motivated enuogh to make him a lethal addition to TFC at the age of 36, and at his age and in his position, you need to bust your ass to be a star performer.
Henry, well, he could probably win games in MLS with minimal effort and still ook like a world beater, especially at 32. Man, i wish he was coming here instead of going to the Shite Bulls...

I think this proves the point that the destination city is a huge factor in drawing designated players.
Philly isn't the shit hole you think it is. But this just proves that most DP's will be coming here for a vacation more than anything.
Cheese Steak. . .
. . . .your move.
NOTICE: Wager with STB: OVER 2 shots on goal in the First half wins a Pint at HT.
Rumour has it that effective immediately, the Philly front office will show a 15 minute video of Columbus to all potential signings.
^ haha, that looks like someone shat in a bun and then puked on it...

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
he was probably hoping for some chunky soup from mcnabb's moms. Pires to DC United.
The team isn't in Philly... it's in CHESTER... which is a total shit hole. Not sure if Pires actually visited the stadium under construction, but I hope he didn't go near this area.... a few blocks away.

“I don’t want to be difficult, but if I’m leaving to take my family far away, I prefer that it’s in a beautiful city.”
HAHAHAHAHAHA! What a slap in the face!! It's not an absolute horrible city, but it does have the fattest people in America (as of 2008 anyways). A French dude would not be at home in Philly.
so where would he play?
san jose?
Well Roberto Bettega and Eusebio didn't have any problems with Toronto.
Besides NYC and LA, what other city is more appealing for world class soccer players than Toronto? Chicago is other city I can think of that might be attractive for world class soccer player to play in than Toronto, but I doubt.
Boston is a decent city too. Seattle, Portland, Vancouver and Montreal are nice cities too.
i always find it funny tho when guys like Henry and Pires talk about playing in New York.... hey guys, technically you wouldn't actually be playing in New York.
You'd be playing in Harrison New Jersey!

Although Harrison looks better than chester, that's for sure.
it would be like TFC playing in the Shwa.

Pires = French
L'Impact = French
Pires + L'Impact = Montreal's DP!!!
