Default Possible DP signing?

Found this on ESPN Deportes.

-La llegada del mexicano Cuauhtémoc Blanco y del inglés David Beckham son prueba de ello, y aún se espera un fichaje de gran trascendencia para el Chivas USA, según lo anunciado por Jorge Vergara.-
http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/news...gen&type=story

Not sure if this is news or BS by Vergara, considering were still waiting on a new stadium in Guadalajara, Chivas Euro, Bofo Omar and Medina transfer to Europe, etc, etc, etc.

You're right, but that wouldn't be as big an obstacle to overcome with teams like columbus, revs, or houston who openly declined to use theirs. Zidane's been linked to other MLS clubs, why not ours? A guy can dream, right?

Each team has one DP slot. NYRB has two since it traded Amado Guevara to Chivas USA for their slot.

Columbus is strongly rumored to be putting the finishing touches on signing Guille Barros-Schelotto from Boca.

So, that leaves DC, NE, Houston, RSL, KC, Toronto, Colorado and Dallas still with their DP slots.

Chivas USA must acquire a slot, but I'm not sure they have much trade bait. Razov is too old, I think. Guzan is really the only player I could see drumming up enough interest. (Maybe Bornstein, I don't know) RSL or Colorado desperately need goalkeeping help--although RSL at least has Seitz, the promising rookie. So among those 8 teams, I'd say only Colorado might be interested enough in Guzan to give up a DP slot. Maybe.

But then you've got Burpo starting, and that became a fiasco last year.

No good options here, unless there is some "allocation" money traded, as well.

Ramon Ramirez will no longer be with us, that certainly is another "good option".

Ramón Ramírez quedó ayer virtualmente fuera de toda posibilidad de continuar con el Rebaño angelino.

Take the Revo off that list. The Krafts have pretty much made it known they will never spend that kind of money. Give us Bornstein and you can have the DP slot.

Not that this would be a DP, but Bretos mentioned an imminent signing of a centerback for Chivas.

They need somebody desperately. Toronto didn't test them, but somebody with real speed is going to rip apart that backline.
