    That's what I took it for in the first place. That's what happened the last two seasons with Marinelli, Lopez, and Trujillo.

    It's only been 6 days. Robb's post came after many regulars to this board posted similar opinions about KC not doing much. Probably that's only pure coincidence of timing and not a blatant manipulation to shut people up.

    Sometimes Visas and other issues take time.

    Johnson could be offered escape from Cardiff loan spell

    By Richard Torgerson Last updated: 4th February 2009

    Swedish club Malmo are showing an interest in Fulham striker Eddie Johnson, who is currently on loan at Cardiff City.
    Johnson joined Fulham 12 months ago from Kansas City Wizards, but has yet to score in English football.
    He is on a season-long loan at Cardiff, but has started just three games in the Championship, while the signings of Michael Chopra and Quincy Owusu-Abeyie could limit his opportunities further.
    Reports now claim that Malmo are keen to sign the USA international on loan in a deal which would see his time at Cardiff cut short.
    The 24-year-old's agent Richard Motzkin has confirmed that he has travelled to Malmo, who are one of Fulham manager Roy Hodgson's former clubs.
    Motzkin told Eurosport.se: "I have been in Malmo, but I have no further comments."
    Malmo are looking to replace Ola Toivonen, who has joined PSV Eindhoven, although the club would not be drawn on any interest in Johnson.
    Sporting director Hasse Borg said: "I might have heard of the player and his name."

    Well the first guy is too young and has to much potential to to be the guy. Plus he is a forward.

    Next guy is also a young fella who has had trials with West ham and Man U. Didn't impress enough to get a contract.

    Lastly neither one of them are from SA.

    I bet this guy is a backup, over thirty, and past his prime. Let hope he is cheap and can be somewhat productive.

    I wouldn't mind paying him $12,700 /yr and being a 85th minute sub.

    Just saying.

    This is not true. I only speculate this because I am playing fantasy soccer. EricKingh8sTheFire says it is Ronaldinho or Crespo.

    If I am correct though, then I would be fantastic!

    I'm guessing he's Argentine, but it's not Riquelme.

    With our new stadium, it would be worth the money the Wiz would have to spend to get Riquelme...he could put asses on seats for every single game..and the Jersey sales would go through the roof,,id get home and away short and long sleeve... we've gotta get that guy

    Santiago Hirsig? I hope this is not the guy we have been waiting to hear about. If so, get Riquelme on the line and offer him the DP spot.

    Umm... So wait a minute, you weren't kidding when you suggested Riquelme or Crespo? I got a good chuckle out of that suggestion. Kind of ruins it now...

    He's a 31 year old midfielder. He had been playing recently in San Lorenzo's Apetura title run that they just missed out on. He came on as a sub in both of their "playoff" games.

    It would be a solid signing if this is a guy who can hold the ball in midfield and make good attacking passes, ala Xabi Alonso on Liverpool.

    Soccerpatch, could you make an effort to not sass one of our owners who goes out of his way to keep us in the know? Thanks.

    Would love for it to be Nakamura from Celtic...long been rumored to be leaving, don't think he'd come over though.

    Left San lorenzo because they didn't pay him 200k I think.

    Translated link here



    I started looking at him and he is pretty much a role player that spends most of his time coming off the bench. I hope he is a good fit here.
