Someday, I Will Go a Whole January Without Talking About Figo
By: Martha | January 3rd, 2008
That’s going to have to wait until 2009, though, because Luis Figo’s agent is talking about the MLS rumors, and has more or less said they’re crap. Which, obviously, could be Clever Agent-Style Deceit, but also could mean there’s nothing going on right now. Whatever it means, the agent and and Figo himself clearly have shared talking points, because they both refer to the stories as “suppositions” or “speculation,” rather than “fabrications,” or “fantasies” or, say, “lies.” Hmm. Furthermore, both Figo and his agent are careful to mention the possibility of moving to MLS at some point, which is something the player himself has been talking about at least since last fall. (Who knows, Nolan, our dream of a 49-year-old Figo playing in the first game at Red Bull Park might yet come true.)
Interestingly, it’s only Agent di Figo who mentions the possibility of staying at Inter for another year, which is something no one has made a sound about until just now. “He has got a contract with Inter. He expects to extend it.” (Um. What? Does Figo know this? Does Moratti? Is it only because they can’t find anyone else?) Figo, for his part, says no such thing, uttering only your typical footballer mantra about getting fit and worrying only about this season, and this club. (For the two other people who care, he’s in Dubai with the rest of the team, but is still training separately, so his return from the Nedved Attack is not imminent.)

After all the injuries the Beneamata have had this year, I’m very glad to hear Figo is in Dubai. Thanks Martha.

Thanks, SS, I’m fond of it as well. (And I’m glad you care that he’s there, that make three of us!)

Four! Four. I care muchly, Martha. If Figo wants to end his career in the U.S then we can’t do anything about that, but (and it’s hard to admit this) Inter is a more fitting place for a legened like that to write his ending, no?
FSC Sports Report’s promised to keep me updated on this as well. God bless their little hearts.

Four! I should have known I could count on you, Curry. And of course Inter is better — despite what some people think, there’s no shame in ending a career there. With the LA Galaxy, however ….

Still, the US is a possiblity:
“He has got a contract with Inter. He expects to extend it. If the club does not extend it, yes, he will consider – as he has said publicly – going to the United States.”
Hopefully Inter will renew (fingers crossed).Posted from
