Another rumor I'm hearing is that Eddie Johnson is going to come back to MLS and possibly sign for Chivas USA as well.

Good for Freddy. He needs playing time and this will provide that for him.

Didn't see this one coming, glad to see Freddy going somewhere where he'll get playing time though. Hope it works out for him, he seems to have stepped up his game a bit in the last year.

Back with his former DC United coach right?

i just hope he gets loaned out when the mls season ends. my only negative with a return to the mls is that he would be idle for 2 months or so, while the euro players are still playing.

good luck to him. if he continues to buckle down, he will be back in europe in a season or 2.

Hearing mixed comments but it sounds like Adu is a DP.

Apparently Chivas was set to sign him till their owner nixed the deal.

The big loser in this deal? Chivas USA. Goats wanted Adu & had him all ready to sign, but Jorge Vergara killed the deal, wants more Mexicans.

What does it matter if he's idle for 2 months in the winter? He'll make that up in the summer of 2012 when he's playing and the European leagues aren't.
