If Edgar comes to LA I want his glasses. We could have a dreadlocks revival movement….

If Ronaldinho came to LA I’d live on the street to get season tix.

Unless we wanted to give up Donovan, Davids would take a hell of a paycut. I can’t really see that happening.

Ah yes! He would be quite the addition. However, there’s no room in the inn.

Glen beat me to it with the Davids news… while he’s definitely no Ronaldinho, he’d definitely be a great addition to our roster…

former Dutch international Edgar Davids has been training with the Galaxy, although he just stopped by to see his old friend Rudd and train with the team a little. would be interesting to see him on the team roster.

This is Pep Guardiola (new Barca manager) jumping into the transfer-rumor-for-$$$-and/or-player’s-minds game. With Lalas happy enough to jump in for the publicity.

Guardiola announced yesterday that Deco, Eto’o and Ronaldinho were “not part of his plans.” Don’t know what he has against Deco, but Ronaldinho and Eto’o have been chafing since Eto’o got there, and now Ronaldinho has sort of been AWOL for the end of the season.

BUT, no club in their right mind has ever announced their intention of letting go of a player who is that financially valuable. Their opening announcement would be that they would never let [fill in blank] for all of the money in the world, they are the son they never had, etc etc….followed by a few leaks regarding astronomical sums allegedly offered.

Here’s the fine print which confirms my theory that Guardiola is trying to challenge Ronaldinho to pull himself together and recommit heart, soul, and a little more effort, to the club (having announced that Eto’o will no longer be a challenge to him in the locker room), from the Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/jun/18/laligafootball.barcelona?gusrc=rss&feed=football: Guardiola said he would love to see Ronaldinho recapture his best form for Barcelona but believes that scenario is unlikely. “If I felt that he wanted to be the player he was again, he would be here.”

The Galaxy front office might be using the rumor to signal that they’re looking for some classy talent, but even if its not Ronaldinho, how WILL they pay for anyone else?

Otherwise, clubs just love transfer season because attaching their name to any marque player requires not the faintest hint of truth and gets lots of headlines.

It would be great to see him play for us but we need a creative Center Mid and a quick and strong Center Back. That should be the priority
