I just wish Rafa had gone and gotten him around 2005 for the £4 million Atlético paid for him back then. One smart player. Loved him to bits.
A sweet strike from Maxi earlier tonight (still going strong at 40 for Newell's Old Boys):-https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/n8sfiy/newells_old_boys_1_sarmiento_0_maxi_rodriguez_47

Crosby Nick never fails.
Piss of Maradona, this is the greatest World Cup goal of all time.

That's an exclamatory phrase I've not heard before...! Might have to start using that.
Retires at 40.A proper legend at Newell's and in La Liga. Argentina too. Shame we couldn't get more football out of him but he was well admired here and a good lad. Loved the hat-trick at Fulham on the Monday night.
Would sacrifice Fordy in a sacred Mayan ritual to have him as the next Liverpool manager

I always tend to think of Luis Garcia, Yossi Benayoun, and Maxi Rodriguez as being part of the same lineage - sort of fulfilling the same/similar role for us.Effortless - nice.
