There has been a good amount of action on the MLS player trade/signing front as of late. Teams are in high gear trying to improve their quality for the upcoming season. The MLS Combine finished up today and there have been some foreign signings as well. Needless to say, lots of activity all around the league. Here is a rundown of the action with some of the bigger names so far:
Eddie Johnson - KC Wizards to Fulham?! This is supposedly a done deal. This would make 5 Americans for the Cottagers. Maybe Clint "Deuce" Dempsey and EJ can do a rap video together like this one.
Brad Guzan - Chivas USA to ..... not sure yet. He has been linked to Celtic as a possible acquisition in the transfer window for the Scottish club. Goalkeeper is one position where the USA has been able to consistently turn out some quality players (Friedel, Keller, Howard, Hannehman) and Guzan is no different.
Taylor Twellman - $2.5 million offer from English side Preston North End rejected by the New England Revolution front office. Twellman is not very happy camper after seeing an opportunity to make the jump across the pond disappear into thin air.
Joe Canon - LA Galaxy to San Jose Earthquakes. San Jose picks up a quality goalkeeper while LA clears out some salary cap room for.....
Carlos Ruiz - FC Dallas to LA Galaxy - The Fish swims his way back to LA to join the circus that is the Galaxy. I have a feeling that a lot of players in MLS want to kick Ruiz like Ricardo Clark did last season.
Clint Mathis - LA Galaxy to Greek club Ergotelis. This guy just seems like the biggest meatball around. It has gone down hill for him since he decided to sport a mohawk at the 2002 World Cup.
Nick Garcia - KC Wizards to LA Galaxy (in exchange for the #1 Superdraft pick). KC will have some big shoes to fill in EJ and may be able to do so with the coveted first pick of the draft.
Duilio Davino - Former Club America player signed with FC Dallas. Should help to fill in FCD's back line nicely with a promising player in Clarence Goodson leaving Dallas through the supplemental draft.
More news to come as the 2008 MLS season creeps closer...
