"I talked with my friend Juan Pablo Angel [currently with the New York Red Bulls] and he [Angel] mentioned he is happy to play in the MLS since the press does not pay much attention to soccer."
De la Cruz would be a great addition to the MLS by bringing in more experience and class to the back line of a team like the Red Bulls. He has played in Liga de Quito and Barcelona of Ecuador, Hibernian of the Scottish Premier League, a great stint in Aston Villa of the EPL, and more recently played for relegation-bound Reading FC. He is currently out of contract. Considering the large population of Ecuadoreans in the New York City area, we feel that it would help to attract a whole new set of fans to the relatively empty stands at Giants Stadium.
Below is a video of him in action.

Hes a good player! His style of play is very similar to the Martinez guy that anchors the backline at DC.
