Just a thought... but, maybe he's afraid of getting injured again. Like you're saying, he is getting old and I'm sure he doesn't want to get an injury that would end his career (It is easier when you're older...) Just a thought. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows.

He's getting old? Old? He and I could have gone to high school together (meaning he's only two years older than me) and I know that **I** am **not** old. 😉 Three kids in three years makes me seem old, but 26 is not the end of the world, and neither is 28! Okay, okay, in sports terms you're out of your prime once you hit the 3s but he's not even there yet. Need I remind you of a certain player in his 40s?

(Note how mysterious that seemed.... because I forgot his name.......)

I wouldn't call him old. Many would say he's in his prime (well, if he would start scoring again).

Preki is the old timer's name.

I said he was GETTTING old, not that he was old. It's different. And of course I meant it in sports style, old isn't til like 80. Gosh.

Maybe he is out of shape, which doesn't allow him to take on defenders like he used to and the quality of players that are around him do not help him at all.

He seemed to do all right at Hannover. He was scoring goals over there, why not here at RSL. Again I think it's the players around him. Of course that is my own opinion and not yours! :signbb:

Or is it? :scared:

Cleetus will come around. He does still lead the team in assists, the goals will come.

He'll score on Monday. I'll be wearing my brand new Mathis shirt. It's got to be a good thing 😉
