Probably what was a more surprising news to hear, but US National Team and Chivas USA keeper Brad Guzan was denied a UK work permit to join Aston Villa on a $4 million transfer today. Sources say Guzan was denied a work permit after a panel in England ruled on Thursday that he did not meet the requirements to receive [...]
Yesterday got me thinking. I figured after reading a lot of your comments and emails that it would be a good idea to take a step back and look at all the kits (that I could google and find) that the US has worn in recent years and compair them all. Its a good topic for debate. Which is the [...]
Last day of the winter transfer window. Many clubs are hoping this day passes as quickly as possible while others are wanting more time to sign more players. I will start with something I meant to touch on yesterday but got too caught up at work to ever get to it. Reports all around the web say that New England [...]
Something tells me I may not be the only one out there that feels this way but with the way the MLS is growing and the new international player rules, I think it is time for the MLS to take serious looks at players in Africa. I thought of this a few weeks back before the transfer window opened up [...]
Sons of Ben rejoice! You will finally be getting a MLS club of your very own. A huge step in the right direction today in Philly, as the state is poised to announce an agreement to kick in $45 million to help fund a new stadium in the Chester, PA area. It seems to me that the original MLS deadline [...]
Some things are just said to be left to the pictures for people to decide on which is better/worse. Today is that kind of day. Nike released the new US National team kit and I must say it may be the ugliest I’ve seen in many years. It makes me wish it was 1994 all over again and our country [...]
It was reported last night that Chivas USA and National team keeper Brad Guzan was given permission to leave camp to go over to England. He is scheduled to return in time for the US-Mexico match next week in Houston. I think it is fair to say that the $4 million offer from Aston Villa is going to meet the [...]
Only a couple more days (if you count today) in this winter transfer window. Lots of teams are hoping to see it pass while some others are wishing it wouldn’t go away as soon as it does. Its been fairly slow in this final week of the transfer window in the MLS. Sure there have been some developments in the [...]
Word from my sources in C-Bus, Guillermo Barros Schelotto arrived this morning. Those cries you hear may be from Gimnasia down in Argentina. But at least, for now, the Crew and their fans can breathe again. Also the word from C-Bus is that the Crew have had some more talks with Polish striker Maciej Zurawski. Both sides have been in [...]
Not the biggest news of the world but on a day where DC presents it’s first designated player, the rest of the MLS world sits quietly as the transfer window is quickly coming to a close. But reports out of KC say that the Wizards have lost another player, but not one that did any real wonders like Eddie Johnson. [...]
Lots of talk yesterday about the new new continental club championship, the CONCACAF Champions League which will kick up this August and last until next April. The new Champions League will replace the current club competition, the Champions’ Cup, which will see it’s final year in 2008. The CONCACAF Champions League will see 24 teams from all areas of the [...]
Busy day so far for the MLS. I will try to be fairly brief on some things since they have already been talked about in length on here before. Anyways, let’s get the biggest stuff out of the way, DC has announced the signings of four of their five new players. Gonzalo Martinez, Gonzalo Peralta, Jose Carvallo and Franco Niell. [...]
Almost thought I was going to get a late start to the day but here we are, in the final week of the winter transfer window. Lots of action is already starting to pick up here in the week as teams are trying to vye for a player or two before the window closes. I was planning on doing a [...]
Most of the updates for this past week are reflecting the Supplemental Draft though a couple teams were busy. DC transfered in a couple players, while a few clubs waived a hand-ful or so. Still a week left in the current transfer window so we will see what happens between now and then. As always, see something that is missing, [...]
As reported earlier here, Christian Gomez and DC look to be ending their relationship. But where could he end up is the bigger question to dive into now. Steve Goff is reporting that he was offered a contract in the Middle East at around $600K but he said he does want to remain in the MLS if possible. A few [...]
