FC Dallas may sign Davino
Posted: Saturday January 05, 2008 09:48AM ET
FC Dallas will have a special visitor on hand for Sunday's return of the InterLiga tournament to Pizza Hut Park. Former Club America and Mexican national team defender Duilio Davino will watch his former club team take on league rival Toluca to open the second leg of the tournament in Frisco. Tito Echeverri, a soccer analyst in Mexico and a friend of Davino's family, said Friday that Davino was traveling to the area to sign with FC Dallas, though Hitchcock denied that a deal was in place. |

Toronto not ruling out DP slot
Posted: Sunday January 06, 2008 10:09AM ET
Given Toronto FC's rampant success at the box office you might think the young club would be looking to hold off on using its designated player slot. Think again. Toronto FC isn't ruling out using the DP slot in 2008, according to head coach Mo Johnston. Reports out of Canada suggest the club was going to sit on the slot this year but Johnston insists he has the go-ahead to land a marquee player if the team finds one this off-season. |

Celtic after Chivas USA's Guzan?
Posted: Monday January 07, 2008 12:37PM ET
Chivas USA President Shawn Hunter confirmed on Friday that the team has received offers from multiple clubs in Europe for Brad Guzan, last season's Major League Soccer goalkeeper of the year. The latest European club to be rumored to be interested in Guzan is Scottish side Celtic. Hunter would not confirm that Celtic was one of the teams that made an offer for the goalie. Instead, Hunter said, "We have multiple offers from multiple teams." |

Five teams chasing Johnson
Posted: Tuesday January 08, 2008 06:13AM ET
With the transfer period open in Europe, Kansas City striker Eddie Johnson is again the object of speculation involving at least five teams, according to published reports in Britain. Last summer Johnson appeared to be headed to Derby County, currently the last-place team in the Premier League, but the move fell through. Derby is still in the picture and could pay a record fee for a Major League Soccer player, surpassing the $4 million transfer fee the league received when it sold Clint Dempsey to Fulham last year. |

Frenchman not ready for MLS
Posted: Tuesday January 08, 2008 06:11AM ET
Mikael Silvestre said he liked the United States because everything is big. But apparently the soccer is not yet big enough to entice him to consider relocating across the Atlantic for anything more than a vacation. Silvestre, a Frenchman who is a defender for Manchester United, was in New York last week on the final leg of a family vacation with his wife, Severine, and their three young daughters. Asked if he would consider finishing his career in the United States, Silvestre said: "I'm a bit young to come here now, but I would like to play here perhaps someday. I like the American way of life. Everything here is big. I like America and England because in France, even though people think we are arrogant, in France there is jealousy all around you." |

Argentine forward seeks MLS deal
Posted: Thursday January 10, 2008 06:49AM ET
Argentina's Claudio Lopez said there is a 90 percent chance he will sign with an MLS team. Three MLS teams have expressed varying levels of interest in the 33-year-old forward, who has played in Italy, Spain and Mexico, and made 58 national team appearances. However, it would take designated player money to sign him, probably similar to Juan Pablo Angel's $1.6 million deal. |

D.C. to sign Argentine forward
Posted: Wednesday January 09, 2008 06:06AM ET
D.C. United is in the late stages of negotiations to acquire Argentine forward Franco Niell, sources familiar with the talks said yesterday. A month after Argentine superstar Juan Sebastian Veron spurned its offer, United is close to adding a lesser-known attacking player in the first of what could be several international signings. Team captain Jaime Moreno, the league's all-time leader in goals, and 2006 MLS MVP Christian Gomez, an Argentine midfielder, remain in contract negotiations with United. |

Inside Cooper's Dallas discontent
Posted: Monday January 14, 2008 05:42AM ET
Here's why you are hearing rumblings of Kenny Cooper's discontent in Dallas, as explained by someone familiar with his travails: Cooper had a gentleman's agreement with MLS when he returned from England that if he did well in his first season, he would have the opportunity to renegotiate a better deal. After getting 11 goals and 4 assists, his father approached MLS about the upgrade. The league indicated that the option on the contract had been exercised and nothing would change. The elder tried to work through the Hunt group, which responded by saying there was simply not enough money available under the salary cap. Both father and son were perturbed with MLS for not upholding their end of the unwritten agreement and with the Hunt group for not taking the initiative. Agent Lyle Yorks was hired to get a better deal or get him sold back overseas. They are still hoping to renegotiate for this coming season, but nothing yet. |

Earthquakes shopping No. 1 pick

The San Jose Earthquakes have identified the player they will choose with the No. 1 overall pick but is still considering offers for the pick. The Earthquakes are looking for an impact veteran in exchange for the pick. Head coach Frank Yallop wasn't about to reveal his target with the No. 1 pick but it is a safe bet that the Quakes will take either Patrick Nyarko or Eric Avila if they keep the pick. |

^ As far as I know, the MLS has rejected any bids for Taylor Twellmen to this point. Is he a good player? yes. Can he cut it in the big leagues? no. He did have a stint with 1860 Munich but never made an appearance. He does have experience though (all in the MLS). Preston North End would probably be better off with an up and coming star by the name of Jozy Altidore who currently plays for the Red Bull New York. |

With the Fire having two first-round picks this year, another trade on draft day isn't out of the question. The Fire owns the No. 7 pick, which it received from the Red Bulls for coach Juan Carlos Osorio, and the No. 12 pick. After the first round, the Fire picks at 26, 38, 40, 54. According to Fire coach Denis Hamlett, the draft is lacking "can't-miss" scoring prospects. |

Why FC Dallas traded Ruiz
Posted: Wednesday January 16, 2008 05:38AM ET
Carlos Ruiz said he did his best to help FC Dallas win an MLS Cup title during his three-year stint with the club. FC Dallas traded Ruiz, its leading scorer the last three seasons, to Los Angeles on Tuesday for an undisclosed cash allocation and the Galaxy's natural second-round pick in next year's MLS SuperDraft. Ruiz will play alongside David Beckham and Landon Donovan under coach Rudd Gullit. The move opens up about $400,000 in salary-cap space, and Morrow said that FC Dallas is looking at Argentinean striker Claudio Lopez, Davino's teammate with Mexico's Club America, as an option to replace Ruiz. |

Wizards trade for top pick
Posted: Wednesday January 16, 2008 05:33AM ET
While the Wizards are waiting to see if star forward Eddie Johnson is headed to play in England, one player is definitely on the move. Defender Nick Garcia was traded Tuesday to the expansion San Jose Earthquakes for the No. 1 overall pick in Friday's MLS SuperDraft, Garcia told The Star. "It caught me by surprise," Garcia said. Garcia was the Wizards' first pick, second overall, in the 2000 draft out of Indiana. He was part of the Wizards team that won the MLS Cup in 2000. |

Fans push for Philly franchise

With the competition for a pro soccer expansion team entering its final stage, the Sons of Ben are hitting the road. Today about 25 members of the fan club will tool down I-95 in a car-pool caravan to Baltimore, where the Major League Soccer draft provides a stage for them to plead with officials to please, please, put a team in Philadelphia. For months, the Sons of Ben - a boosters group for a team that doesn't exist - have lobbied MLS chieftains and Pennsylvania politicians, gathering signatures on petitions and on pledges to buy season tickets. Now, with a decision imminent, they see themselves not just as supporters but as players in the drama, exerting all possible influence to try to tip the decision to Philadelphia. |

However, with Seitz's huge upside and the financial implications if he is sold overseas, RSL would probably ask for a lot in exchange for the former under-20 starter. |

Columbus Crew have confirmed their interest in Celtic striker Maciej Zurawski.
The 31-year-old Poland international is a target of his compatriot Robert Warzycha, who is assistant boss of the Major League Soccer side.
Warzycha told the Daily Express: "Our offer is concrete. Zurawski is very interested in joining us because he wants to play in Euro 2008."
Zurawski's lack of first-team action with Celtic could threaten his chances of representing his country this summer, and a move to the United States could help his prospects, even though the MLS is currently out of season.
Warzycha said: "His agent Mark Donaghy is now negotiating with Celtic over the transfer fee. We believe it will be between 200,000 and 300,000 euros (£150,000-£225,000)." |

Posted: Tuesday January 22, 2008 08:00AM ET
His bags are packed, he is ready to go. Red Bulls Coach Juan Carlos Osorio is headed to South America this week on a scouting trip with scheduled stops in Colombia, Argentina and Brazil. Osorio said that two of the players were currently in "competitive leagues" in Europe, and added that one was "in the French league, at the moment." That player is probably the 32-year-old midfielder Marcelo Gallardo of Argentina, who has terminated his contract with Paris St.-Germain. The 5-foot-5 Gallardo is also being pursued by Borussia Dortmund in Germany and San Lorenzo in Argentina. |

D.C. United is a popular guess but Mastroeni's salary doesn't fit in with the plans D.C. United already has in place. According to sources, the real possibilities for Mastroeni are Chivas USA and New England. |

Philly leading MLS expansion

The state of Pennsylvania has earmarked $45 million to be used in the construction of a soccer complex at the base of the Commodore Barry Bridge in Chester that hopes to attract a Major League Soccer expansion franchise. This money, coupled with the $30 million already committed by a partnership between Delaware County Council and the city of Chester, should be enough to convince the MLS to grant franchise rights for the league's 16th team to the Philadelphia market -- a market it has coveted for some time. |

Top draft pick stiffs D.C. United
Posted: Thursday January 31, 2008 06:09AM ET
After spending two days introducing newly acquired international players, D.C. United yesterday learned that its top pick in the MLS draft has signed with a French club. United selected University of California midfielder Andrew Jacobson in the second round and projected him as a promising reserve player this season. Jacobson, 22, was scheduled to join the club at training camp in Bradenton, Fla., today, but instead decided to sign with FC Lorient, which is a part of the top French league. Like most players entering the draft, Jacobson had not agreed to a deal with MLS, which oversees all contracts, and his representatives arranged a tryout with the French team. According to United General Manager Dave Kasper, the club was unaware of the arrangement until after the draft. |

Every moment Jozy Altidore spends on the soccer field only raises his price tag, and you have to wonder how long Major League Soccer will be able to resist cashing in on what could be a U.S.-record transfer fee.The 18-year-old Red Bulls forward has two years remaining on his contract, but with every major European club having seen his goal against Mexico last week, the league is expected to be swamped with offers come the summer transfer window. |

Revolution scouting for attackers
Posted: Tuesday February 12, 2008 04:48AM ET
Whether by design or miscalculation, the Revolution will have a new-look attack this season. Andy Dorman and Pat Noonan, tied for second on the team in scoring with seven goals, have departed for Europe. Coach Steve Nicol and assistant Paul Mariner have been scouting for replacements in Central America and Argentina. But it remains unclear why the Revolution were unable to retain Dorman and Noonan, who wanted to remain with the team, according to their agents. If the players departed as part of a plan, it indicates that the Revolution are seeking different qualities, attacking players with greater durability and stamina and, possibly, more flexibility and speed. Or, the Revolution underestimated the value of Dorman and Noonan, as indicated by the greater salaries the players will receive in Europe. |

Jay Needham, the SMU defender who spurned D.C United's contract offer last winter and signed with the USL1's Puerto Rico Islanders, has been given permission to work out with the Los Angeles Galaxy. No other details, but it's safe to assume that, if the Galaxy really likes him, it will attempt to trade with DCU for his MLS rights. |

Philly nearing MLS expansion
Posted: Wednesday February 13, 2008 06:12AM ET
Major League Soccer is moving swiftly toward an agreement that will grant a long-sought expansion team to the Philadelphia region, several sources have confirmed. Representatives of the prospective team and the league are down to discussing details concerning the new club - talks having progressed past "if" and on to "how" and "when," they said. The sources, who requested anonymity given the sensitivity of the timing, said that: In the last two days, the local owner-investors completed their review of the draft version of the expansion agreement between MLS and the team, which would play at a riverside soccer stadium to be built in Chester. Local representatives have been meeting with senior MLS executives at league offices in New York. |

Chivas USA likely to lose goalie
Posted: Wednesday February 13, 2008 07:29AM ET
If Chivas USA owner Antonio Cue wants to guard against the very likely loss of goalkeeper Brad Guzan when the European summer transfer window opens, he might want to start thinking about a response that would be logical and popular. Should Aston Villa again come calling for Guzan, dangling a $4-million offer, and should Guzan get a British work permit at his second attempt, Cue could make worse use of Chivas' share of the fee than by bringing former Mexico standout goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez to the Home Depot Center. |

His name is Alvaro Henrique Alves Pires, but you can call him Alvaro. The Brazilian defensive midfielder is in LA Galaxy camp and making a good impression. The Galaxy need a quality defensive midfield option and the 23-year-old product of Brazilian power Internacional has shown good skill despite looking a bit out of shape. With a nickname like "The Buffalo", Alvaro probably isn't going to get much smaller. |

Revs to sign Honduran midfielder
Posted: Friday February 15, 2008 05:30AM ET
I'm hearing that New England has finalized a deal with Mauricio Castro, a 26-year-old Honduran midfielder from Olimpia who has made four international appearances. Expect a formal announcement from officials in Honduras and New England/MLS in the next couple days. |
