    Soumare is in play. I wonder if Philly would take Califf back for him.

    Then we should trade him while he is at peak value. Hackworth is big on this whole "Philly Tough" thing, Califf is kind of a Dichio-esque figure for the Sons of Ben. It was Nowak who moved Califf, not Hackworth.

    Califf is 33 but not an international. Soumare is 27 and an international.

    I would move Califf for Soumare so fast it would make your head spin.

    indeed. though Soumare is on a high wage (300k or something) but he's younger, and better version of Califf. Only thing Califf has on Soumare is experience, but even that is very marginal

    I doubt it will be like for like trade. Most likely we'll have to pony up more.

    No surprise that they want to unload Adu. Adu's early success went to his head it seems and he never developed properly as a footballer. He ended up being one of the most over-hyped players in the history of MLS (the next Pele anyone?), but never found serious success. If he had stayed at DC he might have had a chance.

    Montreal loan D Zarek Valentin to Bodo/Glimt in Norway, likely to get Bologna striker Daniele Paponi on loan.

    you know, LA might just be signing Arse Shavin for footballing reasons

    Nah. There is no way that he is Arena's type of player.

    Lampard is by all accounts devoted to his kids, is divorced, and is dating/engaged a TV presenter in the UK that no one on this side of the pond knows, but makes millions in the UK.

    This Galaxy rumour that is being repeatedly flogged does not make a ton of sense. I predict in stays in England. Or Europe.

    Robbie Rogers spotted in training. Is he going under allocation? Playing for the team that owns his rights?

    Nope, training for the LA fucking Galaxy who are expected to trade for his rights from Chicago. Oh it's not like they're struggling and could use a player or anything.

    Perhaps it's time to just scap this farce of a system, I think.
