denilson speaks about possibly joining fc dallas. risky, but worth it.
a constant theme to me is the presence of beckham legitimizing others to follow. blanco is set to be joined by wanchope in chicago, angel, scheletto, veron a possibility in DC. people talk about the impact here, but the impact abroad could be more significant. this in turn could lead to success here a few years down the road.

Fergie stands firm over Heinze exit
Setanta Sports Sir Alex Ferguson has firmly reiterated that Gabriel Heinze will not be swapping Manchester United for great rivals Liverpool.
Rafa Benitez confirmed on Monday that the Argentinian international is a transfer target for the Anfield club, and the Spaniard has put the club's lawyers onto the case after seeing an opening offer spurned by United.
Heinze's agent reputedly has a letter which gives the defender permission to leave Old Trafford, even if he still has two years to run on his current contract with the English champions.
However, it is believed that United chief executive David Gill informed the player and his representatives that any move to a rival Premier League club would not be considered.
Ferguson is already negotiating one minefield of a transfer in the shape of Carlos Tevez's potential move from West Ham, but the Scot is still maintaining a hard-line approach over his refusal to let Heinze go to Anfield.
Ferguson has also criticised Heinze's agent for his role in the transfer dispute.
"Gabriel Heinze will not be joining Liverpool," Ferguson stated firmly.
"We are examining some of the statements coming from his agent and when contact was first made with Liverpool.
"We are not happy with the agent's conduct in the matter and we are examining that as well, but it will take a couple of days before we have anything more to say."
Some sources have construed Ferguson's comments as hinting that United are looking into the possibility of an illegal approach by Liverpool.
If The Reds do manage to get their hands on the former Paris Saint Germain defender then he will become the first player to move from Old Trafford to Anfield since Phil Chisnall in 1964.
Big Ben cont.
Now you might be able to actually watch some Liverpool games.
I would agree that Defoe is a pretty big name/talent to essentially be your 4th striker, but he has stated publically two or three times that if he had wanted to go somewhere else he would be gone by now. Personally, I think he'd be better off at a smaller club where they mostly pack it in at the back and look to counter attack. In my opinion he excells at going one on one and getting out on the break, but doesn't have very good vision and or create chances for other players. Since, Tottenham likes to attack more as a team he will be the odd man out once again this year, and if teams are willing to pay the reported 12 mil. pounds I think Tottenham should seriously consider it. On the other hand Robbie Keane isn't going to be around forever and Berbatov, although an animal right now, isn't exactly young.
