He won 3 league titles in Holland, and then he went to AC Milan in 1987 where he was paid 5.7m (peanuts now).

He had a very successful career in Europe because we won the World Players of the Year and European Player of the Year.

He collected 3 Italian league tiles and two European.

In his new job for LA Galaxy, it is rumoured that he will be paid 4m a year on a 3-year contact.

You know how cruel the press and football pundits can be at times; they are saying that he will not last long there. Personally I think they are jealous. They are also saying that he is know for letting people know who is boss and that with him and Beckham there, there might be fireworks, because he likes to be the centre of attention and is not going to stand for Beckham parading himself everywhere.

Also, what is being said is that LA Galaxy is probably only engaging him for the same purpose they engaged Beckham: Make their club world known. At least they have admitted that Beckham was not signed up for his footballing skills, as everyone knows, he has hardly played any football during his time at LA Galaxy.

Jealousy will get these people nowhere, I used to watch Gullit when he was playing for Milan, but I didn't follow his career as a manager, but these people got one thing right, LA galaxy sure will get a lot of publicity.

Let's hope they also get some goals into the back of the net.
When does the transfer window opens in the MLS? It wouldn't surprise me if Gullit starts to bring in some foreign players.

Well they have no other choice but to win this time, they have Beckham and a good coach, lol, although this may not be enough to win, but somehow they have to find a way to win.

These two teams are good last year's display between the two was very pleasing for a final I expect the same this year.

Wow what a final that was, and New England lost in dramatic fashion again 3 years in a row ouch, this was really painful to watch. Congratulations on the Houston Dynamo on their MLS Championship repeat.
