DYNAMO defender of the year BOBBY BOSWELL has re-signed. BOSWELL’s deal is the standard four year MLS package which one would assume comes with a hefty pay raise based on last years contract.

...

PATRICK IANNI is on his way to SEATTLE for a conditional draft pick. Now it never seemed IANNI was coming back and most think he was already gone quite frankly.

"so far" has technically been only 5 days, in terms of registering new players in MLS.

the registration window for MLS just opened up:

http://www.mlsnet.com/mls/schedule/important_dates/

January 21, 2009 -- Primary Registration Window Opens
April 15, 2009 -- Primary Registration Window Closes

this is not to say that MLS and MLS teams will make a lot of great progress is picking up exciting imports, but they do have more than 2.5 months to do so -- seeing as how the Primary Registration Window doesn't exactly align with the MLS off-season.

Boswell is back in Houston

He was playing on trial in Turkey for Antalyaspor (sp?)

He never really switched teams, so he doesn't get put on the list. We've never listed people who just re-signed with their teams.

Cuban to Seattle

The Insider told you six weeks ago that Seattle was pursuing Cuban defector Osvaldo Alonso, the USL1 rookie of the year at Charleston last season, and today the Sounders made it official by acquiring his rights from the Battery and signing him to a multiyear contract.

From what I heard of him, he can be the perfect "partner in crime" for Montero. This Seattle team keeps getting better.

Still not sold on the Seattle team. That defence looks SHAKY.

Also, anyone heard anything about Mikel Arce and Jay Ayres being released by The 'Quakes? They've been removed on the (ever reliable) MLSnet.com roster.
