According to Goff, Jay Heaps will be retiring. Link - http://voices.washingtonpost.com/soccerinsider/2009/12/chivas_usa_guzan_usa_heaps.html
http://soccer365.com/americans_abroad/story_21209125848.php Keep an eye out for this one. Several media sources are saying that the Union are about to announce the signing of Danny Califf.
Thanks for starting this up. Been so busy at work I haven't had much time for fun I'll try to come in and get this updated regularly again.
Yup, it's official: http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20091202&content_id=7744242&vkey=news_mls&fext=.jsp The Revs - and the League - are going to miss him.
/fistpump Heaps is a hack. good riddance. now if we could only get rid of Saragosa, Kovalenko, goldweithe, and half of the Chivas team we can see some beautiful soccer.
Pappa, Califf (official), Heaps and typos...

Acquiring a player's rights is a prelude to an actual signing. The actual signing hasn't happened yet, although one could consider that semantics for this thread. Also, the deal was for allocation money, so you need to mention that as well. I believe it was listed as "additional moves" or something like that.
The Dynamo had Califf's rights, which they gave to the Union for allocation money and an agreement not to take anyone (read: Chabala) in the expansion draft.
He can't technically join until Jan. 1: "Califf's official departure from FCM must wait until January 1st, but the source estimated that the center back would reach agreement on MLS terms next week. The California native opted to exit from the Wolves pack with two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract." http://soccer365.com/americans_abroad/story_21209125848.php
Which is what I said earlier: However, we know he's going to Philly, so the question is does the deal for his rights count the same as the actual contract?
Formatting cleanup Took Pappa off the Fire list since he never actually left the team (that's how we've handled things like that before.)
