New York Red Bulls striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thierry-Henry-c34918 spoke out in favour of Tim Cahill’s proposed move from Everton to the MLS, and believed that the midfielder will prove to be a valuable ‘asset’ for the American league.
The Australian International struggled to find his form during the previous season, and was frequently denied a place in the starting line-up by the Toffees manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 since joining the club
in 2004 and netted 68 goals.
Keeping in view his second-choice status at the Merseyside club, Cahill had also drawn interest from a number of Middle Eastern outfits, with the Saudi Arabian side Al Nasr being the most notable club to have made overtures for the player.
However, according to some knowledgeable sources, Everton have agreed on selling the 32-year old to New York Red Bulls for a transfer fee believed to be in the region of 1 million pounds.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 superstar, who himself made a switch to Red Bulls in July 2010, backed the midfielder’s decision of joining the MLS, and tipped him to become an instant hit in the American competition.
Cahill will undergo a medical examination prior to finalizing his final terms of agreement with the Metros.
Henry told the reporters in an interview, “Talking about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tim-Cahill-c35085, he's going to be great. We're going to have to wait for him to undergo his medical. He's going to be a great asset for us and also for the league.”
The striker also went on to express his admiration for Cahill’s unwavering commitment to the game, and believed that his excellent presence of mind on the field and strong headers will bring extra value to their team.
Meanwhile, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Los-Angeles-Galaxy-c39818 player Landon Donovan admitted that he would have loved to see Cahill alongside him at the Home Depot Center. However, he viewed the player’s move to USA as an encouraging sign for the MLS, and felt that a lot of players
from amongst the top leagues were now fancying a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390.
He said, “There are a lot of pluses to playing here, and now when the league has made the sort of financial commitments they have made to players it sweetens the pot even more.”
