A few thursday thoughts

1. Reports from MLS Rumors say Marcelo Gallardo may be leaving MLS to go play in Argentina. What does this mean for DC? I think it could be a good thing. If Gallardo left, DC would need a playmaker and what would make more sense then the return of Christian Gomez? There is no way he is staying in Colorado next season, and they would likely pay some of his salary, but would this be good for a player who struggled last season? I say yes, there is no way someone goes from being so good to that bad in just a couple of months, it had to be his attitude and supporting cast. Yes, he is 34 and not getting younger, but lets face it, he is one of DC's all time greats and his game was never about speed. I think that DC could resign Gomez and get at least 2 good years out of him which would make him well worth the bargain. Gomez is in my opinion the best set piece taker in the history of MLS, and DC struggled mightily on set pieces last year (Jaime Moreno should never take one especially when he does that weak sauce loft into the area). Here are some of Gomez's best finishes.



2. How bad does it suck to be Taylor Twellman? First he loses 4 MLS cups, then he gets denied a move to an English Championship side, then finally he ends the current season on the bench watching while injured. Oh, and he ended the season with 99 career goals. If this is the last we see of Twellman, which it very well could be due to the state of New England, then it is a sad way to end such a storied MLS career. Here is one of the most amazing playoff goals in the history of MLS, i apologize for the annoying water mark.



3. My take on Donovan to Bayern: Great move, You Go Girl!



In all seriousness though, I think that this move could make Donovan a greater player, help USA in 2010, and pave the way for other Americans.

Thats all for now, I may check in later today.
