Let's assume for the instant that Ives is correct. Let's also not be ridiculous. Anyone who says Cristiano Ronaldo or the like does 5 laps. Who could it be?
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. SHEVCHENKO!?!?!?!?! I honestly have no clue. I'd have to imagine it's someone over 30 and out of favor with their current club, but most of those players made the jump in January. I did have a thought pop into my head that we might be offering Nunez something like $500k a year, which would be DP money, but I hope that isn't the case.
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. Several names instantly come to mind from past rumors... Robbie Fowler (at this point, I hope not) Andriy Shevchenko (bigger signing than even Beckham IMO) Jimmy Hasselbaink (again, like Fowler, not at this point) Ronaldo (please, no!) Martin Palermo (he's good, but he's getting old) who else? Anybody know any big name forwards currently at the end of their contracts?
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. Maksim Shatskikh, just picked a random player who I would have thought might look to MLS Please, please, please not Robbie Fowler
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. Ronaldo just signed a new deal with Milan, so I'd assume he's not going anywhere for some time.
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. For a DP, I'd venture to guess that Nicol and Mariner will use their contacts in Europe to get a player. Central America and South America are like Building 19, a lot of crap but some good finds. Europe is like Bloomingdales. A lot of overpriced crap but once in a while you find something nice on clearance.
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. Convey?.........I keed I keed! This would be very interesting, nay, shocking if the Revs pull the trigger on a DP, as long as its not a 34 year old with one foot in the retirement home, I will be one happy camper
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. Ballack would be nice if he was to stay healthy for a season
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. I'm not sure, but I believe there are rules against paying transfer fees over a certain amount. If so, that takes many of these names off the list.
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. Additionally, the euro transfer window is closed. Although we could wait 'til summer like LA I suppose.
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. Plus he just ruptured a tendon in his knee and won't play for at least 9 mos most likely more.
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. I believe they can transfer out of the window if the team the guy is playing for wants to cut him loose
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. Shev does have an american wife. The thought of Twellman and Shev up front is unreal. Would love to see a guy like Robbie Keane too but I know that would not happen. Please no Figo or Fowler!!!
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. Sheva was just in the papers a day or two ago saying he'd only play in LA or NY if he came to MLS. So who knows.
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. Here are a few more 'names' that are being linked to other teams in MLS (no matter the source) Darren Huckerby Joao Pinto Steve Marlet
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. Fowler is also out for the year, I doubt it could be him. I really havent the slightest clue, I just hope they do this. I will say though that if they got Albright and Castro, then add Badilla and a DP i will make an effort to attend Revs games this year as a way of approving a willingness on their part to get better.
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. I read that Pinto has apparently signed with TFC. I wouldn't think Huckerby or Marlet would be DPs.
Re: All right Rev fans, take your best guess. Fronaldo? What happened to that list people had compiled after the last rumor? What was it? Over 30, from European country, midfielder? If the Kraft's are going to go with a DP, I wouldn't be surprised if they pandered a little bit. Brazil, Portugal, Ireland.
