JDG to FC Dallas

[Frankie]

Knowing him, he never liked British football. So I could never imagine him playing for any of the British clubs. And since his kids do live in Germany, I could see him going back to Europe as soon as his contract is finished. But for now, playing in Dallas with the Latin influence football, I can see this will be better for his game leading up to World Cup Qualifiers. Preferably I would like to see him play in Spain or Portugal where it favours his style of play.

I would be curious what Julian has made over his career. Anyone know what he made at Coruna? That would be the only other time he would have been over a million per season, and he was there 4 years. He'll play until he's 35 for sure I would think, assuming his body holds up.

Well I know for a fact that from 2005 to 2009 Julian was on 800,000 euros net per year with bonuses of 15,000 euros per game and a signing bonus of 500,000 euros. The reason why I know this is because it was a known thing in the media in Spain while he was in court to fight unpaid bonuses totalling 1.2 million euros net. He ended up getting his money and bought a house on the beach in Mallorca for 1.5 mill, where his brother was living - during his time in Mallorca. Now its a vacation home, and this was all leaked from the spanish media. So I guess RETIREMENT is an option???? But I really hope he continues to play for another 4 to 5 years.

This infers that you know him, do you actually know him personally?

FWIW, Tam Nsaliwa going on on twitter about how great a move it is for JDGZ to go to Dallas. Style of play, latino teammates....I tend to agree.

I also agree! Now I'm more interested in FC Dallas than the Whitecaps too!

Haha. Great point. Me too, I'm going to watch more FC Dallas games than ****caps FC's this year. BTW, the only ****caps FC games I watched were against TFC. In fact, I watched the club I follow and support, TFC.

I don't know him personally but been following him since he mode to Germany. I've met some of his national team buddies. You can see me in the back having shots with him at the JDG's boat party. Even had a chance to see JDG2 in red. Check it out.

Lol at Peters face when the guy introduces him as representing Ipswich

haha yeah he was not feeling that one.

Also, it is funny to watch Jono chill with Jackson, Hutch and Peters. You certainly would assume he is closer to them than the dutch NT guys after watching that.

And...is it just me or did I see Rohan Ricketts at 0.41?

Yeah, but he feels Dutch.
