Cahill to MLS

Postby Stuckey Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:20 am

Everton have agreed terms with Major League Soccer for the transfer of Tim Cahill to the New York Red Bulls.

The fee is believed to be in the region of £1m for the 32-year-old, who has spent eight years at Goodison Park.

Cahill is also understood to have agreed outline personal terms with the MLS club.

Great move for Everton, NYRB and Tim but probably not Australia. But in all honesty I hope we take this as a wake up call that as great a player as Tim still is we cannot rely on him forever.
Its also a bit sad he didn't come home but its still years IMO before a HAL club can afford a £1m transfer fee.
Time to Djbate!

It will be an exciting move for Tim and good way to round off a great career. Hopefully it all goes well for him (and he can come home via Samoa which he'll enjoy).

Good on him. Think he'll be really good value in that league.

AND he gets to live in New York City FFS (actually probably somewhere in Jersey).

Might try and get to a game when I'm Stateside. Playoffs start the week I get there - presumably Red Bulls will be in it still (they're currently top of their conference).

Good on him. Undoubtedly a better decision (football-wise) than China or the middle east. A bit disappointing that he didn't come back to Aus but given how much he can earn in the MLS compared to A-League it would be a charity move on his part.
All I need is some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.
