I heard from and person who works in the FO tonight that the Denilson deal is DEAD.

Thanks buzz, it will be interesting to see if the players wishes match the club’s. Perhaps Alvarez , Goodson and Toja could decide that their value might be higher elsewhere (another country?). It will be a very interesting finish to the season followed by a very busy off season.

I’m looking forward to your end of season analysis of where we go from here.

I can’t see FCD passing up on a buy of Toja. Mina I highly doubt will be back even though FCD has another year on his loan. Ricardinho will depend on how he plays over the season.

Nunez I expect to be gone very soon, Goodson will be resigned. Alvarez is still 50/50 and it might depend on what he is willing to play for. Gbandi and Moor I expect to be picked up. Ruiz quite frankly I would not be shocked to see have his option let pass then tried to re-sign for less. 5 goals is not worth $500k.

but there is a lot of season left.

buzz, I think we have a number of players out of contract after this year. Who do you think the team will try to resign and who will leave anyway. I thnk Toja’s loan would be up and Goodson, Nunez, Alvarez should be out of contract and many players lke Fish, Gbandi and Moor would be on option years.
Who do you see as players critical to this team going forward?

[...] Brazilian Denilson after all. Reports are saying that two sides are still talking but a deal is very unlikely to happen at this point. Dallas, like the rest of the clubs in the world, only have two weeks left to sign [...]

My guess is that many of the players looking to switch to MLS have viewed the ludicrous money involved with the Beckham deal and have at least made a determination to push for the same kind of outrageous money.

While Beckham’s intro might have raised MLS profile, it’s perhaps also made other players view it as a potential gold mine.

i.e players are asking for a lot more money than clubs are really willing to pay.

That’s just my guess…

All that Denilson hype for nothing??? Maybe Morrow did pull the pen right out of Denilson’s hand before signing, but whatever the reason maybe I really hope that FCD has a contract under way that no one has heard about. This team needs a booster shot, and a DP signing will be excellent as the team returns for the remainder of the season.

sonny,

when it does not work out it doesn’t mean that it should have worked out. sometimes it is just not the right fit and the FO figures it out…other times I am sure it is largely about money. Your right…at least they are looking and I am sure we only ever know a percentage about what is really going on.

Sorry Ed, I do not know what kind of money they are talking.
