Clarence Seedorf
Glenn Davis, host of The Soccer Hour radio show in Houston, claims that there have been talks of Clarence Seedorf signing with the Philadelphia Union. The Dutch-international currently plays for AC Milan.
Philadelphia Union CEO Nick Sakiewicz was asked about Clarence Seedorf on Glenn Davis’s show. Sakiewicz’s response was an odd one. He seemed to dismiss and acknowledge the rumor, all at the same time. He first stated that there is no truth to the rumor that Seedorf will be signed by the Union. But he then admitted that he did speak with Seedorf in Milan, and that Seedorf is interested in playing in MLS.
The fact that Sakiewicz denies the rumor means relatively nothing. We see this in professional sports all the time. Management will never leak any information before it is officially announced. And they will deny rumors, even if they are true, due to confidentiality. But the fact that Sakiewicz revealed that Seedorf is interested in MLS, makes this a legitimate rumor.
The 33-year old Dutchman has had an incredibly successful career, and would instantly become the best player in Major League Soccer. Seedorf holds the honor of being the only player to win the UEFA Champions League with three different teams (Ajax, Real Madrid, AC Milan). An attacking midfielder, he is an absolute magician with the ball. It is nearly impossible to take the ball off of him. Seedorf also has a laser of a shot. With him as your central midfielder, the Union would be off to a fantastic start as an expansion team.
