Probably because most of us don't follow the sport very closely, and figure from all the press he gets, he's got to be good! Some of us know better, though. That's a lot of money for a spot-kick and crossing specialist. Maybe he and Posh want to get into movies soon.

If there's one old player I would have loved to see come to the MLS, it would have to be Bergkamp. He could have offered so much and showed how beautiful the game could be. Shame he doesn't fly...
