    Chris Bergin says that the English Papers say that Leeds is now interested in out favorite defender who has trouble keeping his shoes on.

    "UK media (papers) report Leeds United manager Peter Reid as in talks with MLS for Carlos in what would be a Jan transfer. Carlos is out of contract at the turn of the year."

    hey, i think that is great news if it's true. do you have a link for that? it's great, because it wouldn't affect the MLS season, it'll allow Boca to hone his skills further, and it's a good thing to have another space open for another up and coming American product in MLS.

    Isn't Carlos going to have the same problem Convey did with a work permit?

    He'd do better going to Feyenoord. I hope they have to money to sign him, as I would hate him going to dreaded Leeds.

    No, he won't have the same problem because Carlos is a better player than Convey is ......... point blank. And this is coming from a diehard DC supporter!

    Leeds just took a beating from mighty Wolverhampton 4-0, and just lost at home to Birmingham. What, 5 points out of 18 so far, they look to be a relegation candidate early on.

    Supposedly Leeds still have a mountain of debt too, not the brighest of places for Boca but at least he should see plenty of PT and action on defense.

    well I know they are just a couple of points out of the relegation zone, they have no money, they have Peter Reid managing them and they have sold all their talented players except for Smith and Viduka, who will most assuredly be sold in January.

    Leeds lost to Leicester 4-0 not Wolverhampton. Not like it's a big deal or anything. Leeds still has a talented team a should be playing better even though they have sold many of their top players to help their poor financial situation.

    This SHOULD be a PBS series

    sigh....
    Tune in to next week's edition of
    WHERE IN THE WORLD IS CARLOS BOCANEGRA RUMORED TO BE GOING TO THIS WEEK
    when we hop over to Spain to visit Ante Razov's old club, Racing de Ferrol. Then it's over to La Liga Primera club Celta de Vigo.
    Until then, boys and girls, keep those wall maps and pins ready.

    If he is out of contract, why would Leeds have to discuss anything with MLS or even pay a nickel?

    The Convey problem was that they didn't see him starting for Spurs, which makes sense. But I can see Boca getting a shot at Leeds. He's better than Roque Junior at least...

    WHAT!?!?! Roque Junior who won the Champions League with AC Milan while starting and also playing for Brazil is not as good as Carlos Bocanegra from the Chicago Fire?? Wrong.

    Leeds won't get relegated this year. They have a lot of talent and it will eventually come together. A lot of guys like Roque Junior just came in on loans and haven't really settled in yet.

    While starting for Milan? When? Quick research shows he played 4 matches for then last year (that's probably league matches). He was subbed in late in the final and got injured--to his credit he kept trying, and that's the best I've seen him play. Okay, so he can't be that bad, but I've never seen him play particularly well. I'm not at all surprised by his less-than-spectacular start at Leeds. Boca is not ready for Leeds, but I think he could make a lot more dependable back than our man Roque. Just my opinion.

    I don't think Leeds will go down, either, as soon as they get it together. And I hope Roque has a great season and proves me stupid. ;)

    Um, isn't Leeds the team with those players that allegedly chased down and beat an Asian man?

    I like Carlos, I hope he goes elsewhere.

    Isn't your team the one with that player that allegedly ran down and stomped the head in of a Polish man?

    Get bent.

    Oh, yeah, like the two are comparable, especially in a gang-style attack. The Asian guy nearly died.

    And he was a civilian.

    Go bend yourself.

    Then again, you probably are.
