In comparision John Rooney has yet to feature for New York.

I'm still hoping for first team. Do they make much money? Maybe they would come over for a change of scenery and some extra cash. But we wil welcome youth players too!
He was playing League Two/One level for Notts County. I must admit I do like the ideas of USA Scholarships I think its defiantly an emerging market and a link-up would be good. I don't see why the likes of fringe players such as Turner, Burton couldnt benefit from overseas football. Friendlys would be a good fixture too.
