Roundup and Rumors for January 23, 2008

Eddie Johnson to Fulham

We knew it was coming, now it's official. Fulhamerica continue their trend of signing MLS and American players under three managers....something's going on over there.

Pat Noonan joins Aalesunds FK

Noonan joins another ex-Rev, Adin Brown, in Norway. As a Revs fan I'm pretty upset with this move, and just adds to my list of reasons I hate my beloved Revs (intentional irony...get it?)

Colorado are greedy, egotistical bastards!

Word on the street (there's only one street in America if any foreigners are reading this) is that Colorado are asking too much in return for Pablo Mastroeni. Apparently (again, from the same street) Chivas USA and New England are interested, but both have withdrawn offers based on the CRapids estimated value for Pablo.

DC strengthen their squad

DC United have added Gonzalo Martinez and are apparently still looking to sign a few more South Americans. Take notes LA, this is how you (legally) build a team...

Marcelo Gallardo is rumored to be on his way within the next few days.

Fabrice Panracte รก le Feu?

New Fuego boss (that's two languages in under ten words!) Dennis Hamlett is looking at making his first major acquisition by signing Frenchman Fabrice Pancrate from Paris St. Germain. Pancrate is currently on loan at Sochaux and isn't seeing much first team action (should be a great pick-up...) but apparently he's done something to impress.

MLS teams to earn frequent flyer miles?

Ives Galarcep is reporting that MLS will allow all teams to use chartered jets to get to and from games now, meaning I can no longer stalk Taylor Twellman. He's so dreamy too....I need some alone time.

From what I read in the Ives article on this subject, it's only for two games only.
