When Wahl reports, he can dig up some good info, but this kind of writing is just garbage. There is nothing the least bit eerie about the similarities between Reyna and Ramos in MLS.

Between injuries, Tab Ramos had some productive stretches in New Jersey, which is why he stuck around for seven years. Memorably, he was an MLSer when he scored that terrific goal against Costa Rica for the US. Reyna, by contrast, was an aging misfit here, so he lasted only a year and a half. For the Red Bulls, his attacking play was ridiculously poor. Despite playing with Angel and Altidore, he managed only three assists, and he didn't score a single goal. Of his 21 shot attempts, only 4 were even on frame. Like him or not, Claudio was a total bust, more like Lothar Matthaeus or the post-Everton Joe-Max Moore.
