Here is the latest on Podolski’s transfer to FC Cologne:
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=611023&sec=transfers&cc=5901
Basically that Podolski & FC Cologne (and, I’m assuming in relation Bayern Munich) have agreed that he would complete a transfer at the end of this current season, to start playing for FC Cologne as of July 1st, 2009.
What this translates to me is that Landon would complete his current loan terms with Bayern until 2nd week of March, then come back to LA to see our LA Galaxy through 1st / 2nd week of June, then MLS would probably complete a transfer with Bayern Munich for Landon. So, if there’s any truth to LA Galaxy chasing after Del Piero… Del Piero can stay with Juventus until its end-of-season, rack up more goals, pictures, monies, trophies, etc. And, then he would be free to join LA Galaxy for some enormous fee that would once again have all the LA Galaxy haters yell, cry, moan, and insult in dis-belief.
Make of it what you will. Happy New Year everyone…

oops obviously Lalas doesn’t like NOT being the center of attention anymore…

Lalas doesn’t like being the center of attention anymore — he was happy enough even if the attention was bad as long as he was in the middle of it. After all his screw ups he’s now sounding like a spoiled brat who’s been told he can’t have the shiniest toy any longer because he wrecked it. More poor form.

Seems unlikely. Can they even do that? He would be a DP and I don’t think they have a slot. Even if they sell Donovan, I think he was grandfathered. Am I wrong about that?

The Galaxy is linked with a €38 bid for Del Peiro. The way he has been playing this seems VERY far fetched, but who knows. He is really the heart of the ol’ Lady of Italian football, But what a signing that would be.

Did anyone else sense the bitterness from Lalas on ESPN2 when LA picked Gonzalez?

It seems like Arena is adding some good mid-range talent, what we were sorely lacking last year. Seven good players teamed with 4 very good to exceptional players makes one helluva team. I’m getting excited — still skeptical, but excited.

High praise for Donovan in this article — and a real feel for how he’s fitting in.
