Re: A New DP? #7? Well, if you don't know if it's a DP or not, that certainly eliminates Raul and his ilk.
Re: A New DP? #7? Beasley is a us nat so wouldn't he req an allocation and there certainly woulda been buzz about that cause it would req the league fire and another team to remain quiet. Heard it's nery castillo from a very unreliable source
Re: A New DP? #7? I keep hearing the name of Ramirez from a Mexican friend of mine. Ramiro Ramirez? I'm not up on who this would be, but he's dropped it a few times. Hopefully he's not thinking of Ramon Ramirez, the ex-Chivas USA player.
Re: A New DP? #7? not quite. Ramon Morales. Ramon Ramirez is old and very retired. And if they get him, he's more brittle then John Thorrington a few years ago.
Re: A New DP? #7? If it is a new DP or "really good player" I'd be surprised, as there haven't been any peeps about it whatsoever. Usually we know there are rumblings about. I have to say the Fire front office, or whoever, did a good job at piquing our interest. If it ends up being big news, kudos to them.
Re: A New DP? #7? Send the shock waves through BigSoccer. Honestly I've always admired his ability but think he's aging fast.
Re: A New DP? #7? I wouldnt be suprised if its DMB, i think we still hold his rights. Not sure we need another winger now.
Re: A New DP? #7? I have a feeling im goning to feel like that kid in Christmas Story who gets his decorder ring only to reveal that the secret message is "drink your Ovaltine"
Re: A New DP? #7? What about Shevchenko? I don't know the situation in Kiev or if he would be available for transfer but his wife is American from Minnesota and she is Polish. ?????????? just sayin'?
Re: A New DP? #7? wait wait wait, was it actually said that the announcement tomorrow would be about a player? Or are we just assuming the announcement is about a player? Just wondering. Everyone's talking like it's definitely a player and I just heard about this rumor of an "announcement."
Re: A New DP? #7? I thought the full MLS schedule comes out tomorrow, did I just dream this, or does someone else remember hearing this? <edit> ah yes, on a different thread https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1317122 case closed
Re: A New DP? #7? my guess is if anything since their announcing the schedule then the big news is we have a friendly with Man U this summer. (Man U I think announced a tour of the U.S. today.) Makes sense to me as far as far as what the "big news" is.
Re: A New DP? #7? There is an announcement tomorrow. Logan Pause also just recently changed his number presumably to accommodate a new signing. Most of us are inferring that these two facts are related. They may or may not be.
Re: A New DP? #7? sounds like mostly baseless speculation.. but hey is that what big soccer is for? I havent even read/heard about any announcement in the website or media. No way theyve signed a DP and kept it secret. The number 12 just might be the number errant passes he makes in a game.
Re: A New DP? #7? Ives tweet: SoccerByIves Rumor that Chicago Fire is signing someone today is just a rumor. No major signing coming. Sometimes a number change is just a number change
Re: A New DP? #7? Ives tweeting that a signing isn't imminent is hilarious. I think most of us know that, its just fun to speculate in February.
Re: A New DP? #7? http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=3959585 Pause was accommodating Krol. However, on a separate note, Stejskal says: http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chicago-fire-confidential/2010/02/preseason-storylines.html
Re: A New DP? #7? Using a defective "Harksie" trojan ribbed resulting in a newborn with spikey gelled hair, a Jeresy accent using Sheffield slang and attempting to play the placenta back to the womb.
