Navia news won’t die on this side of the equator, or it might just be old news. Not a peep has been heard on this from below the equator. In the meantime, Navia was benched by the Racing coach this past weekend for his lack of production.

- LA Times – Jaime Cardenas

The Wizards are about to be joined by Colombian striker Ivan Trujillo, while FC Dallas is close to signing Chilean forward Reinaldo Navia as a replacement for Carlos Ruiz, who moved back to the Galaxy.

Another example of FC Dallas not marketing itself well to their target market.

    Good catch Balonpie!

    Diego gets some more comments on the Richetti situation from Richetti, Morrow, and Eddie Pope (MLS player rep).

    Navia’s agant now admits that some negotiations have begun, and that FCD needs to match Racing’s contract (at a minimum) for him to consider a move.

    I sort of undertstand about the kid from Texans. He played against FCD for years and then he’s supposed to want to play for them? Their might be a reverse somewhere else where a player from their area came here and they want to also.
