Luke Rodgers Plans to Come Back to New York

Luke Rodgers scored his first goal in a Lillestrom Kit after minutes being subbed into the match against the mighty Rosenborg. It looked as if he scored the game winner but 2 points were ripped from Lillestrom after a brilliant strike by the Rosenborg captain, Mikael Dorsin. Yet, it was a small victory for Lillestom and Luke Rodgers. They tied a great club, only to prove that are on the same level as Rosenborg, and showcased the work-rate of our favorite striker, Luke Rodgers.
After the game Luke Rodgers said this,”If possible, I hope to return to New York. I like it so far in Lillestrøm, but that’s the plan.”( you can read the full article Titled “I am not a Troublemaker” here I am Not a Troublemaker

We all hope to see you back in New York Luke. I cant even imagine what a 4-3-3 would look like with Cooper, Henry , and Rodgers up front. With just Henry and Cooper we were able to score 9 goals in the last two matches, with Luke you can add 2-3 more! It would be an offensive powerhouse the likes that never has been seen in the MLS.
After looking at the Lillestom message boards the fans are really taking a liking to Luke. I’d like to personally thank Superstefan from the Kanarifansen Lillestrøms forum for linking this site to the forum. With the help of my grandfather teaching me how to read Norweigian when I was a kid and Google translate I was able to decipher the outpouring of support from the Lillestrom fans.
As we await the inane answer from the Department of Homeland Security to clear Luke Rodgers he will be in Norway hopefully helping Lillestrom reach the top of the table and maybe even win a cup. The fans there are giving him the support he deserves. They are a classy bunch and I am glad we may have a good relationship with Lillestrom for future loan and player deals. It is always good to develop a bond with other clubs around the world for unforeseen issues just like the issue we have with Luke Rodgers.
