Probably his best chance of getting a game these days...

 

[Cavehillspur]

Fuck sake

 

[Stoof]

No need for the WUMmy headline, HL.

 

[Courtneyjd]

You've killed me mate!

 

[nailsy]

Is Scholes mates with Viera then?

 

[Real_madyidd]

New York Cosmos are owned by Kelmsley aren't they? Good links with Tottenham there.

 

[antiloqus]

Sounds Terrible.

 

[roshambo]

Kemsley and Keane are very good mates, but Kemsley doesn't have any financial interest in the Cosmos anymore.

 

[Bizness]

Kemsley and Keane are very good mates, but Kemsley doesn't have any financial interest in the Cosmos anymore.

Sure?

Sure?

Sure.

He was at my parents house last week and he's sold the rights. He may very well still be involved, but its not financially.

 

[IchZok]

That list would make the slowest team of all time

Scholes Testimonial

Just noticed this.

Brad and Keano are due to play just before the big kick off. Eek

Hope they don't get injured so close to the season.

I hope Keano is not with the club by then. But if not he could miss out on a move by being injured




Manchester City full-back Wayne Bridge has been added to the New York Cosmos squad alongside the likes of Sol Campbell, Fabio Cannavaro and Patrick Vieira for Paul Scholes’ testimonial at Old Trafford on August 5.

Although they boast one of the most famous names in US soccer, the Cosmos currently only exist to play exhibition matches as they attempt to secure an MLS franchise.




Eric Cantona will manage the Cosmos against his old club, which probably would be enough to guarantee a full-house on its own.

However, a clutch of well-known names will ensure Scholes is given a suitably enthusiastic send-off, with Bridge amongst them as he looks for meaningful match practice.





New York Cosmos squad: Brad Friedel, Gary Neville, Wayne Bridge, Patrick Vieira, Fabio Cannavaro, Sol Campbell, Robert Pires, Nicky Butt, Dwight Yorke, Robbie Keane, Michel Salgado, Chad Calderone*, Ibrahim Diaby*, Yanik Reyering*, Stefan Dimitrov*, Dane Murphy*, Marvin Iraheta*, Moriken Sangary*, Brian McBride, Armando Gaitan*, Dawyne Smith*.

* denotes Cosmos Under-23 player.

Great idea :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I thought I had found a ray of hope in this otherwise depressing transfer window. :bang:
