Henry and Marquez Close to Being Teammates Again

We all already know about Henry to the New York Red Bulls. Some fans and even media speculate whether the Rafa Marquez rumors are real or not. Well, fact is that there is a very real possibility of Rafa Marquez becoming a New York Red Bull as early as this upcoming week. I am hearing that some points have already been agreed upon in principle but that nothing has been signed. It is not yet known what the contract for Marquez will look like, but it is safe to speculate that he will be among the top three paid players in the league (that is just my opinion).

Regarding Henry’s contract, I have been told that he has committed to a 4 1/2 years contract which would keep him at New York through the 2014 season. There are some preliminary numbers that have come to my ears but nothing that would be worth posting. What does seem clear is that TH14 would be the league’s highest paid player, even above David Beckham’s $5.5 million a year.

Thoughts? What do you think of the possibility of Marquez coming to town? How about a 4 1/2 yr contract for Henry? is that too much? or are you just salivating about the JPA, Henry, Marquez trio? Let us all know…
