Does anyone know how much he gets paid now? He got $800,000 to play with Chivas Guad…

So, is it against league rules for Chivas USA to offer him $400,000 a year, and then their sponsors offer him a advertisement deal of $400,000 a year if he plays in MLS?

If the answer is yes… then I guess we are going to have to wait for another 4+ years for the Guevarra debockle to work itself out (of for MLS to allow another DP slot like they gave the Galaxy…..) because I wouldn’t give up anyone. They all work so well together as a team, that I don’t know if I would want to give that up.

If the answer is no, then someone should be talking to Comex ($130,000), Chivas Regal ($130,000), Frazee Paint ($130,000), etc. etc.

From the field perspective… it raises a good question.
Will he fit in with the team chemistry? He’s pretty creative.

Do we move into a 4-3-3 with Bofo as a withdrawn striker to play the ball wide to the other forwards? Does he take LM when Mendoza leaves, but giving him the freedom to rove the middle (meaning Nagamura or Marsch’s replacement…Wicky>…needs to cover defensive duties when he pushes forward?

Do we play a 4-4-2,with a diamond midfield (Bofo in offensive position and either Nagamura/Marsch at defensive mid)?

And more importantly…. Will Bofo buy into the TEAM 1st mentality of Chivas USA? Will he trek back on Defense?

I think it’s a risk worth taking. I think Bofo brings in more fans. I don’t think he will be a Beckham (with the media circus) but maybe the same effect as Blanco has for away games??

Bye the bye, is it me, or does the fact that all of their names beginning with a “B” freak anyone else out?

The summer transfer is a few months away, enough time to gauge the squad.

can I have some of that mezcal you are drinking? Getting Bofo will generate some interest, but it won’t be anywhere close to what Beckham or Blance got. Relax with the whole “media circus” spook stories. I do agree with you that Wicky is going to be a great member of the team once he is healthy.

As for how will Bofo and Preki get along? Well, let’s ask Chepo De La Torre and Amado Guevara does questions.

If we get anyone this summer it should be someone to add depth in the right mid!

in other words, lets not ruin the chemistry that we have for yet another forward.

but if it were a creative mid like zidane, by all means, ruin the chemistry.

and just for the record, wicky stays!

Also, the league would likely allow him to have “BOFO” and #100 just to insure the sales projections.

I only worry about how he’d get a long with Preki and vice versa.

If I was Bofo, and I knew I could re-invent my playing career in MLS with Chivas USA, and I was going to get the money I deserved in one form or another, I would do it!!

Isn’t that how the Chicago Bulls were able to amass such a great team, because Jordan was playing for peanuts b/c his NIKE & Gatoraide contracts were SO HUGE?

I think Frazee and Comex (two brands that are targeting the hispanic market in the USA) would pay big bucks to have BOFO (A very popular player in FMF) to appear alongside their products.

Or is that breaking some MLS rule that I don’t know about? (Delete all sarcasm from this comment, b/c I am seriously asking if there is a rule in effect that prohibits this.)

Razov is too old to be worth anything like this. I know its a terrible thing to say but its true. If Razov can make it through this season without a hu inugejury, then I say he’s worth it (shoot, San Jose really really needs this guy whether he can or cannot)

By mid-season, Sacha will be MVP material. He would be the likely trade I think. I can’t remember if this is Sacha’s third or fourth year but I won’t be surprised if he starts fielding offers from teams in Eurpoe (if not already). Although, I get the sense the guy would not be happy to leave Los Angeles.
