Actually, he should be totally removed from the list. I believe I mentioned this earlier, but maybe not. He was originally scheduled to join on trial, but ended up signing a 6-month extension with Auxerre instead, so he never came. Reports are that his trial has been pushed back until the summer.
Colombian forward David Giraldo joins Rapids camp. http://www.coloradorapids.com/news/2013/02/giraldo-david-are-latest-trialists-rapids-training
Dynamo let 2 go. MLS.com "Following the Dynamo's preseason trip to Tucson, two of Houston's Supplemental Draft picks are no longer with the club. Old Dominion University forward Yannick Smith and University of California - Santa Barbara midfielder Nic Ryan were released from Houston's training camp." Arena, Elliot, Chabala, Songo'o and Nealis still in camp but unsigned.
just a note but i think Eric Avila signed with CHV ... http://www.cdchivasusa.com/news/2013/01/chivas-usa-acquires-eric-avila-trade in the details it says "terms of contract not disclosed" which i assume means not only did they trade for his rights but also signed him to a contract which they won't disclose the details of ... it should be noted that a few days later LaBrocca signed too.
At last night's STH team event, Olsen said Altman was released from DC's camp due to injury but might come back later.
i think the guy you have under CLB called Austin Matte is actually named Reed Matte: http://www.uabsports.com/sports/m-soccer/mtt/matte_reed00.html

Lots of talk on the twitter machine about Andres Fabricio Romero currently in-camp with the Impact. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrés_Fabricio_Romero Hell, his wiki page says he's on trial with the club, so it must be true, right?
http://www.torontofc.ca/news/2013/02/reds-reveal-roster Toronto pre-season roster has Jones as the only trialist besides the draft picks (so the agent of Paolo and Pedro Mendes must still be working on getting them a trial with Toronto). Quincy Amarikwa is in NY camp - he either got released or has been allowed to trial with other teams (similar to Raushawn MacKenzie's current trial with Chicago while still on Chivas). There are also a few academy players in camp: Derrick Bassi - D Daniel Fabrizi - D Jonathan Osorio - M On another note, veteran Honduran striker, David Suazo, is rumored to soon be trialing with Kansas City.
TFC has Argentinian midfielder Nicolas Cabrera on trial http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolás_Alejandro_Cabrera
it looks like Callum Elliot is no longer in Houston's camp: http://blog.chron.com/soccer/2013/02/calum-elliots-dynamo-trial-ends-without-contract/?
I'll see what I can do about finding out about trialists on the squads that are in the Disney tourney while I'm down there. I am far from being a journalist though so don't count on me to find out about jack and/or sh!t while I'm there.
I look forward to the report: Guy with brown hair, kind of thin is in camp. Another guy, looks vaguely Nordic, is tall - here too. Fast, athletic guy also played.

by my count that is the fourth player still officially a member of one MLS team on trial with another MLS team ... Songo'o (PTFC) on trial with Houston; Amarikwa (TFC) on trial with NY Red Bull; McKenzie (CHV) on trial with Chicago Fire; and Joseph (CHV) on trial with Seattle ...
