It would be possible to have Beckham, Donovan AND Zidane, for this year only. I guess I was just hoping that we were talking long-term. (If such a thing for a soon-to-be thirty-five-year-old exists.) You’re right, Diane. It would be possible to have Beckham, Donovan AND Zidane, for this year only. I guess I was just hoping that we were talking long-term.

Lalas can have all his cakes this season with Donovan grandfathered in. It's impossible for me to believe that Zidane will stop by at all, but if he does (and Adidas who are allegedly brokering the deal do keep saying that Impossible is Nothing :) ) I can't imagine that he would stay for more than the one year--no Laurie? Zidane is beauty to behold in motion, and anyone who watched him and Becks together at RM knows those boys are exquisite to behold playing together.

I've had the privilege of zizou play 7 times--twice at Juve, twice at Euro 2000, 3 times at Madrid. And I'm not the only one was in awe of him. the passing, the elegance, the total control of the ball, I long ago stopped trying to find the words...there's a reason why Atletico Madrid fans (who despise Real Madrid with a violent passion) voted zizou the player they loved the most in the entire primera liga for 3 straight seasons. still not believing any of this–zizou has persistently said no to all offers–he’s not after the money. if he accepts any of these offers (and he’s had several from Asia and the Middle East as well) it will be because he really wants to play again without the pressures of top flight european football. and btw, laurie, you are absolutely right in wanting to see him play live–even tho he is not the zizou of 2000 or 2002 or even 2004 anymore.

My assumption was that Landon would be traded to a team with no relation to the purchased DP slot. But seriously, there are only so many teams and so many DP slots in MLS. Perhaps Alexi just likes to hear himself talk and wants to put a little fear into Landon while he's at it. Lane, makes no sense, does it?

Perhaps Alexi just likes to hear himself talk and wants to put a little fear into Landon while he’s at it.

If a team trades their DP slot for Donovan - then what does that team do next year when they need that DP slot for Donovan? So a trade for a DP involving Donovan doesn't make sense. What am I missing? I’ve also got a question. If a team trades their DP slot for Donovan – then what does that team do next year when they need that DP slot for Donovan?

Donovan won the title for them in 2005 - and he almost single-handedly got them into the playoffs after coming back from the World Cup - there was no one else on the team who could even score. And he's threatening to trade this dude? Silly, if you ask me.

Can you imagine what the price of a DP slot shot up to after these comments? This is me, actually feeling sorry for Landon Donovan. Pretty amazing that he would say these things, no?
