He wasnt even in the MLS though he was in the divison below although there is no promotion so basically just a different worse League more like the Highland League in Scotland.
Lubo was still playing International football and playing in a good standard of football.
Kranjcar is player who has alway come across, lazy, big ego and not interested even when he was playing in a decent level of football and internationally. Since then he's got fatter, lazier and went to play in a team and League of guys who probably make the likes of Niall McGinn and Johnny Hayes look like Bale and Ronaldo and taking it easy, getting lazier and more unfit.
Crazy signing, 100% a guy topping up his account before retiring with no interest in trying to get fully fit and continue playing.
Hill and Barton at least you may think old players just wanting to play regular football because their days are numbered and their head is still in it. Kranjcar nobody goes to such awful levels of football, especially a player known for never really putting in a shift and then decides to make a comebck when their career is hanging by a thread.
This is a Ljungberg/Carlton Cole a guy who would maybe retire if you never signed him.
