Article notes that Ralph is one of the principle objectives for Malaga. They are looking for him to join the team in January. The Chicago Fire are somewhat known in Spain -- because Stoichkov played there after leaving Barcelona. While the writer correctly calls the league the MLS -- and even notes the up-an-coming Adu being the USA's Messiah (that's probably a bit of an overstatement)...but as usual he incorrectly notes that Malaga are negotiating the transfer with the Fire...and not the league.

Buff & Dark Knight -- feel free to move...but thought this was somewhat relevant.

I can't imagine why any black player would want to go to Spain right now.

That's a bit of a ridiculous statement. Don't lump an entire nation in with a few classless, ignorant "fans." Malaga was very supportive of Dely Valdes -- he was their best striker for several seasons...

Shouldn't this have been moved to the Chicago Fire page where some people might actually see it?

You might want to start a new thread there so you hit the Fire fans there and the Jamacian fans here.

This seems out of place since Damani is not an American ("Yank").

Perhaps in the MLS Boards.

Yeah that is true, dont judge the entire nation.
It will be good if they hire that guy, i havent seen him playing more than 2 times, but i've heard that he has good skills, and that will also be good for Malaga, cause Wanchope and Amoruso are "alone" there
