    He's out of contract right? Any of you guys have any idea if MLS is making a push to re-sign him? Or perhaps any of you have heard if any Euro clubs are after him?

    Don't know what club wouldn't want him (in almost any league). Word has been he has been coveted most by EPL teams. IMHO he could be successfull anywhere, especially in the EPL or Serie A.

    He is out of contract, and while MLS would be stupid to not try to resign him (if only for the transfer fee), it is pretty obvious he is gonna make the jump. I have to imagine the Fire would love nothing more than for Boca to stay, but he would, without a doubt, be getting a substantial pay raise (deservedly so) and this would force the Fire to dump several players to make the salary cap.

    Boca has been great for the Fire, but he has proved himself and is ready for bigger and better things.

    Earlier rumors linked him with Newcastle. Recent rumors had him with Leeds. We'll just have to find out come January what happens.

    I hope he avoids Leeds like the plague.

    I was just curious because I haven't read any press on him. All I'v read about is freakin Clint Mathis

    Frankly, I hope the Newcastle rumors are true.

    Agreed.

    I have a feeling a deal is already signed, sealed and delivered which is why we aren't hearing much. I'm guessing it will be announced the first day the transfer window opens.
