Yea Hakan has already stated before that he would love to come to America to play for a couple more seasons. Hes 36 now but I think he can still play in MLS for another 3 years. Hes tall and a master of heading the ball into the net. Hes also a great captain, keeeping morale up in the lockeroom, acting as a big brother…

I know everyone wants young great players but, with the salary cap, MLS teams can’t buy them or keep them, so they might do fine for now with older players that are great as well as committed. They can make a big impact on younger teammates while they’re here and that raises the game. Beckham aside, look at what Blanco has done in Chicago as a mentor. I can’t think of another way to bring more skill to the league while we wait for its payroll to grow big enough to acquire and keep younger stars.

He’s (Hakan Sukur) getting up there in age, 35-36 years old, right? although if he is healthy, I’m sure he would get more chances than Pavon, Buddle or Gordon…

I had heard the rumor also, but I can’t remember where I heard it. (Maybe from you? Have you written about it somewhere?) I’ll keep an eye out and let you know if I hear anything.

Hey Laurie i’ve got a question. The Turkish media claims that Ruud Gullit has called Hakan Sukur on the phone and has asked him to come over to LA next year. Do you have any info on this?
