Here's a major one nipped in the bud. George John re-signed with FC Dallas. http://www.fcdallas.com/news/2012/12/fc-dallas-re-signs-george-john-multi-year-deal
Reportedly takes effect March 2014, so it won't really fall in any transfer window. I'll drop it from the next list update.
Tony Cascio scored today for Derby in a closed door scrimmage vs. Notts County. http://www.teamtalk.com/championshi...kpan-Klute-Rivero-get-friendly-game-for-Derby
If Donovan decides to continue playing, QPR may be interested in a loan. http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/artic...eagues-qpr-targeting-mls-offseason-loan-deals
http://www.noshortcorners.com/2012/12/goodiea.html Competition is heating up for Bedoya in the Allsvenskan. Helsingborgs have presented an extension while current champs Elfsborg are lurking.
I saw Honduran Intl Espinoza on that list and thought this link was apropos to this discussion. http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/10/andy-najar-trial-belgium/ http://www.blackandredunited.com/20...najar-anderletch-loan-purchase-trial-training
http://www.sportingkc.com/news/2012/12/sporting-kc-acquires-midfielder-benny-feilhaber I know we didn't "officially" add Feilhaber's name to the list but many, including myself, thought he'd return to Europe. We that notion ended today. Benny will be headed to Sporting KC.
http://www.soccerbyives.net/2012/12/besler-re-signs-with-sporting-kc.html Belser resigns with SKC. However, for the purpose of pure interest we could add Besler to the list as he had offers from QPR, Birmingham City, and Gent.

Hangeland's contract coming to an end. Jol confident he will sign an extension. However, Hangeland's agent says clubs are interested in England and elsewhere. http://www.clubcall.com/fulham/jol-optimistic-hangeland-will-stay-1515962.html
Apparently at least 1 team from the 3.Bundesliga interested in Ryan Miller in addition to the reported 2.BL clubs.
Paul Arriola (Galaxy academy, former U17) recently tweeted that he'll be training at Tijuana, and also that he's working to get Mexican citizenship.
Probably not worth including in the actual list, an American named Kyle Stewart apparently spent the fall season playing for the University of Sunderland in England. He's heading back home. http://sportsbyte.sunderland.ac.uk/...utm_medium=RelatedLinks&utm_campaign=Previous http://sportsbyte.sunderland.ac.uk/?p=26048
