    Checketts: "I'd imagine that he is coming to LA, and he'd be a name you all recognize"

    Host: Might he be Brazilian?

    Checketts: "Indeed, he might"

    I bet it's Denilson. That's a name we all recognize, right? right?:D

    He had a pretty decent season in Brazil last season did he not? I wouldn't be that adverse to it, he's a huge name and is Brazilian. And he's huge...literally.

    I'd rather Ronaldinho to be honest though. Obviously.

    I'd settle for Adriano(formerly of Inter Milan), Bring on Bowen as our super sub.

    The Los Angeles Galaxy and its fans already have the endearing Alvaro "Buffalo" Pires. I am not convinced we need another one.

    Winner.

    But, aside from that:

    Adriano -- Head case.
    Ronaldo -- Fatty.
    Denilson -- Footballing Onanist.
    Ronaldinho -- Fatally Stricken by the Nike Write The Future Curse.


    Other plausible options:

    Cafu -- 40 and retired...for now
    Roberto Carlos -- 37 and retired ... yet still collecting a Corinthians paycheck
    Branco -- 46 and looking for redemption
    Edmundo -- 39 and looking for a parade to join at Carnival
    Dunga -- 46 and available

    It has to be Fat Ronaldo, he said he's retiring after 2011, which is code for "im ready to go to MLS". That gives me an Idea though, Fat Ronaldo in LA and Fat Blanco in Chicago :rolleyes:................ Major League Sumo!!!;)

    If we get Fat Ronaldo, then can we just pay him in bacon grease and save us a DP slot, and monies that would've hit our salary cap? Just give him a daily helping of chicharones and he should be back to superstar fitness!:D

    Ronaldihno to Flamengo makes sense because Brazilian teams are coming across loads of cash. Why not return to Gremio?

    If Ronaldihno does indeed sign with LA I would wet my bed with anticipation for the LA/NY match

    Dude. I just want to know why LA doesn't have a slick radio DJ and radio/online show like this for us? That was sweet.

    I mean, I love me some Joe Tutino, but "cup o' Joe" is like all we got and reminds of a basement PBS show (no offense, I love Joe and all he's done for us).

    We need some radio support dangit! This just fueled my NEED!

    Clearly it's going to be the uninspiring signing of an aging Ze Roberto. He's got to be irritated that he was spurned by NYRB. ;-p
    Why is Dave Checketts (the man who killed the New York Knicks) leaking information that he ought not to? Is he trying to take a poke AEG? If I were the mysterious TL (you know who you are!) I would be pissed!
