NOBODY “BIG” IS COMING TO CHIVAS USA IN 2008.
Cue will sing his song on the radio and say he is talking to “someone big” and no superstar will don the rojiblanco. He’s all about hype. Preki should get whoever the hell he wants because he’s earned it. In the meantime we will be subjected to hearsay and rumors.

DEPTH IS OUR BIGGESTC CONCERN. Claudio was great in 2007. Who knows about 2008? Good point about Thomas and the Jamaican Nats.

Sueno 2. There has got to be more where Flores came from, right?? Now I’m curious to see who Sueno MLS will dig up.

Alex,

Cunliffe is more of a natural midfielder. He will be one of the candidates to replace the departing Francisco Mendoza. So definitively look for Preki to add a forward. Signing Wicky will make no sense because the team is already set at defensive midfield with Nagamura, Marsch and Lawson Vaughn. But just because it doesn’t make any sense doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

As for Morales, Efrain Flores said in an interview recently that Morales will not be on the transfer list and that he will play a key role for Chivas next year.

“Ramon Morales is 32 years old and he plays like a rookie. I think that age shouldn’t be the limit…,” Flores told Milenio.

Defense is a lot more crucial than you might think. I think Bobby Burlington will move up in depth chart but also look for the team to add a couple players through the draft. I hope, though, that they bring in a veteran as well.

Not only is Suarez an injury risk, but Thomas will be playing a lot with the Jamaican national team. With the departure of Jason Hernandez the team has a huge hole a backup center defender. Don’t believe, just look try to remember what the team’s defense looked before the team got Thomas. I know. Scary.

And as for who do I realistically want the team to sign? Easy. Kaka or Cristiano Ronaldo.

Hollers at you later.

I don’t get your complete housecleaning. The Galaxy I could see, but Chivas? Not so much. I’m not sure where he thinks he can get better players under the salary cap.

There is only one way that someone like Shevchenko will play in MLS – if Chivas changes Jersey sponsors to Nike or Reebok & they structure a deal similar to that of “Golden Balls” Beckham. Even if Sheva’s form has slipped enough that the top leagues (ENG, SP, ITALY, FRANCE) don’t pick him up, he will still command a pretty penny. So Reebok, where the hell are you??? (Hey, maybe Nike will bring us Ronaldihno???)

I have said this before – Suarez needs to talk to some people while he is on his vacation in Mexico. One of them is Ramon Morales.

And why in the hell didn’t Guadalajara banish Bofo (by sending him on a loan deal) to us, instead of sending him to any other team that would give competition to Guadalajara??? They really screwed us on that one!!! Think of the ticket sales and all the “100″ jerseys that would have been sold!!!! For that reason alone they should send us a quality player.
