HL!!! Next week (8th) the MLS Summer

[USAF]

transfer window opens.........Which of these reports do you believe??? -

Giovani Dos Santos to LA Galaxy
Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez to OCFC
Andrea Pirlo to NYCFC
Marko Marin to Sporting KC
Kenwyne Jones to Columbus Crew


***Forgot to ask, last week, if you saw that Jérôme Boateng signed with Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports (their first soccer player). Roc will be responsible for his commercial interests & growing his visibility in North America.

Someone posted about Pirlo. It was my first time hearing about this possible transfer.

Maybe in say the next 2 years, we can confidently say...MLS has arrived.

Thank you for the heads up. I still insist , you have the knack for scouting/ management in soccer. Next time Cap'n Burrell and I meet for a hard dough sandwich, will tell him about you natural skills

Pirlo came over with Lampard & both were at the game, last week, against NYRB. He was also seen at the training facility a few times & NYCFC had his picture (in a NYCFC jersey) posted to the team site, but was removed when they got bombarded with calls from fans & press.

NOTE: Liverpool recently signed a U.S. U18 striker/winger (Brooks Lennon).

Did you get a chance to see USA v. GUATEMALA last night? USA won 4 nil.

No!!! Saw highlights........Klinsmann said he was disappointed with the team's performance - "movement off the ball, speed of play, urgency … things that we talked about before were not executed the way we wanted them to be executed."

[USAF]

Is LA Galaxy making room for Dos Santos???.........Over the weekend it was announced that one of their starting midfielders, Stefan Ishizaki, was returning to Sweden to "raise his twins", BUT the twins aren't due until October.
