Comments on: MacManus Cometh: Is Buying Scottish Buying Enough? http://rapids.theoffside.com/team-news/macmanus-cometh-is-buying-scottish-buying-enough.html Colorado Rapids MLS Soccer Blog Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:07:53 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jeff Bull http://rapids.theoffside.com/team-news/macmanus-cometh-is-buying-scottish-buying-enough.html#comment-19016 Jeff Bull Tue, 11 Mar 2008 18:13:17 +0000 http://rapids.theoffside.com/team-news/macmanus-cometh-is-buying-scottish-buying-enough.html#comment-19016 Thanks for the catch on Sir Alex, Ian. I haven't been current on my European soccer, never mind Scottish, in forever. And I have to admit, I'm underwhelmed by MacManus' resume. Here's to hoping the Rapids don't lose out on the contest to Buy the Better Scot...'cause that might not be the only one they lose. Thanks for the catch on Sir Alex, Ian.

For example, RSL's move for Kenny Deuchar is a great one, I think. Tam MacManus is an entirely different matter. Dunfermline has been painful to watch for well over a year now, and MacManus has been a pretty disappointing player in Scotland. I hope he's better in the MLS, but I'm skeptical. PS - Sir Alex made his name at Aberdeen, not Dundee. Now, generally, I’m a big fan of any Scot coming to the US. For example, RSL’s move for Kenny Deuchar is a great one, I think.
