  1. Paulo Jr. is an excellent player but He’s got a big money buy out on his loan deal, I don’t see Impact wasting that money on him. They can take Alexandre, or Warner from us

  2. Ah my bad. Clearly I wasn’t paying too much attention lol. That wasn’t 5am after getting up, but before going to bed lol.

    This is my list after paying a little more attention and sleeping.

    Chaves (FW Chicago)
    Fucito (FW Seattle)
    Adu (MF Philly)
    Sinovic (MF Sporting KC)
    Quaranta (Winger/MF DC)
    Cardozo (Winger/FW LA)
    Convey (LB San Jose)
    Boxall (CB Vancouver)
    Warshaw (DM/Defender Dallas)
    Valentin (RB Chivas)

  3. You mean you don’t want (or need) to be like Philly, the youngest team in the league that just made the playoffs in year 2 and finished 3rd in their division?

  4. Cardozo showed his worth in CCL, Arena didn’t use him because Galaxy were always out to a lead, then he would go with a defensive sub.

    Wherever he plays, I think he starts next year. If Beckham leaves, this is a possible CAM for LA.

  5. I’d be tempted to bring back a lot of the US U-20 team when the cup was played in Canada. Adu, Zizzo and Ferrari. haha

    Cardozo, Williams, Ching, Quaranta, etc. are all good options. Honestly, there are a ton of good options. This will be fun to watch!

  6. Since Freddy is available that means that not only didn’t the Union want him but 17 other MLS sides didn’t want to trade for him.

    A legend in his own mind.

  7. Da Luz is still young, a bit of potential, and cheap. Also a premium for being a truly left-footed player to play down the left – not enough of those in the league.

    I could easily see them taking Valentin, but since Marsch has been with Chivas, he may know the Chivas players’ downsides as well as upsides. Cuts both ways.

  8. I think it could be a deal that would help both teams. LA has Saunders in good form, and a decent young back-up in Perk, so Ricketts could be traded. He is a top notch keeper who could keep them in a lot of games and provide some veteran leadership to what will probably a young team in Montreal.

    Meanwhile I think it would help Adu to play for Arena, and with guys like Donovan and Keene.

  9. Lol. The women in Montreal > Philly. Not even a competition. Have you been to Italy or Barcelona ? Montreal is right up there with the hottest women.

  10. Yes, absolutely. Twellman could sing “Happy Birthday” for 90 minutes and still add more insight than Harkes. The only question now is what Harkes is going to do with his stack of 15 index cards with phrases to drop in at completely random points in the game:

    – stretch the game

    – patience

    – teasing ball

    – switch the point of attack

    – excellent run

    – keep possession

    – [switch to foreign accent to pronounce a player’s name]

    – etc., etc.
