Many clubs are a few weeks into their pre-seasons and now that the international transfer window has shut, it is a good time to look at how each MLS side has done so far this winter. (Note: the MLS window doesn’t close until April, which means players who failed to land new jobs in Europe…[continue reading]

When the Chicago Fire announced Quaker Oats as their new jersey sponsor earlier this week (I swear that one is growing on me by the day), the news left four clubs without a sponsor. The Colorado Rapids, the Columbus Crew, FC Dallas and Sporting Kansas City all have holes in their jerseys – well metaphorically…[continue reading]

The first stage of the 2011 MLS Re-Entry Draft has come and gone with a bang. Only three players were selected in the first stage today as 16 clubs passed on their selection. The terms of the first stage mean the three players selected today, their new teams will have honor their current contracts or…[continue reading]

The Columbus Crew had many questions going into the 2011 season – mostly due to the amount of veteran players that were let go by head coach Robert Warzycha.

Boy today sort of got away from me. I wanted to spend more time on the CCL games and a couple other items going on but just never got to it. Thus, my picks for tonight’s MLS game will be kept extremely short. Houston Dynamo at Columbus Crew: Both team are on terrible form these…[continue reading]

I’ll admit, I wanted to get to this post last week but sometimes time just doesn’t play nice. Anyways, I figure with each club getting into their final eight or nine games that it was a perfect time to dive into the schedules and see what each club has left to take care of this…[continue reading]

Toronto isn’t done dealing yet. Today the club made yet another deal, this time with Trillium Cup rival Columbus Crew. The two sides played the trade game today as Columbus sent central defender Andy Iro and midfielder Leandre Griffit to Toronto for midfielder Tony Tchani. Very, very interesting move for the two sides. The two main…[continue reading]
