I would credit Rennie and Barber for Lee. Given his character and play, he seems to me very much a Rennie-type player. Barber was at Tottenham when Lee played there, so would know him, and who knows maybe even helped make the connection from this end. I highly doubt Soehn had anything to do with it. I haven't heard anything about Anton actually being signed--just some vague rumours by one poster here, and a Swedish news report that he was talking to some MLS teams, among them Vancouver.
didn't know about anton-- glad they have not signed him... and it has nothing to do with his gender preference
