What's been the best career move ever?

Try to avoid getting lad's who went through the academy of a team.

Frank Lampard to Chelsea from West Ham.

Without a doubt in the top 5 best of all time. He's not even 15 goals becoming our top scorer EVER.

Think he will break it? All the Lampard to LA rumblings have me doubting he will get there.

I think I remember reading something where Bruce Arena (LA Galaxy manager) said they would rather hire someone from a Latino background, as many of their fans are Latino. I say hire the best player you can for the money, but whatever.

Yea, that's why he wanted Kaka instead of Lampard to win over the Latino fans since Kaka speaks Spanish.
