maybe not beckam


but somebody...and soon. and i'd put my money on becks to new york red bulls (despite his l.a. youth academy) -- the beckenbaur and pele comparisons will be too much to avoid -- and ronaldo to l.a. galaxy or chivas u.s.a. at least that's what the so-called "beckam rule" has been put in place for. if miami had a team i would say even henry would be there in 7 years.

p.s. the photo is all for you, gio.

The next Henry?


With the talk of the vastly over hyped Freddy Adu being chased by Manchester United and Chelsea it's time to draw your attention to Arsenal's 18 year old prodigy: Anthony Stokes.

Currently on loan with Falkirk of the Scottish Premier League (a league at least the equal of MLS) Stokes has recorded 9 goals in his last 4 league games. This includes back to back hat-trick performances in the last two games. He was named the Young Player of the Month for October and is the leading scorer in the SPL. Stokes also scored the game tying goal in Falkirk's win over Celtic in the Scottish League Cup this week.

The question remains: will Arsenal leave him in Scotland to finish the season or bring him back to London when his current loan expires in January. And perhaps more importantly, will he be given a chance to perform with the Arsenal squad unlike other talented young strikers such as Aliadiere, Lupoli and Bentley.

Adu to Man U or Maybe Chelsea


Really? Did we need this kid? I think Henry would look stunning in a Man U kit next season....

Well Bananas how do you like them apples?
