Bofo Bautista to Chivas USA – What is he worth?

Some rumors make sense. Chivas USA need a playmaker and a star to attract fans. Bofo Bautista is out of contract at the end of the Clausura. I didn’t start this rumor, but I have been watching it closely.

The idea of Bofo playing for Chivas USA is mind bottling. You know… when you thoughts are so crazy it’s like your mind is trapped in a bottle. The striker/attacking midfielder would add a dimension to the game and the squad unseen in MLS. He would put people in stands and add to an already strong team.

The only issue is trading for a Designated Player spot. Who (or what) would Chivas USA have to give up for a DP spot? Who would you give up? Galindo? Razov? Wicky?

Bruno Marioni to Chivas USA?

One game in and the transfer speculations have started.

Bruno Marioni to Chivas USA. Read it for yourself.

The Argentine Striker has played …. everywhere.

The guy has talent and can score. 32 years old. Hints have been dropped by Shawn Hunter and Don Garber himself about the team landing a FMF star, adding fuel to this speculation.

Is he worth a DP spot?

Can Chivas USA get a “David Beckham”?

If you could pick any one in the world right now to play for Chivas USA, who would it be? There has been a lot of talk about adding a high profile player to the team next year. This player could raise the profile of the club and bring fans to the games.

I know, Chivas USA gave up their DP slot for 5 years. I’m guessing MLS is going to somehow allow the Galaxy to have both their DP’s next year, and each team will be allowed to have two of them. Even if that does not happen, we can always take advantage of our partnership with CD Guadalajara and they can “loan” a player to us under the cap.

Now that technicalities are out of the way, I’m going to throw a couple of names around that may be a good fit in the team.

Omar Bravo

Well known in Mexico, 28 years of age, proven goal scorer. What else is there to say. Omar has stressed that he would like to go over seas, but i think he is getting a little old, especially for his playing style.

Bofo Bautista

Can score goals, but can also create opportunities. He is best known for getting in the way of defence and putting the ball in the box. 28 years old with a lot of skill. A little flash and flare.

Ronaldo

No, not Christiano. Ronaldo may come towards MLS, but he is getting a little old. 31 or 32. I’m sure he can do the job for a year or two. Not four or five. It will accomplish the goal of putting people in seats.

Zidane

Please put this rumor to rest.

Riquelme

For those of you asking “Where did he go?” he is still at Villareal still not playing. One of the greatest midfielders in the world. A little tempremental. I love the football he plays, and the seats he will sell. He has 4 or 5 years to offer to the team. I fear what a player like this could do to the balance of the team.

Who would have an impact like Mr. Beckham? Please give your opinion. Let me know who belongs on the Chivas USA.
