SABuffalo786 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3962550#post3962550 From post 166, down. We're looking for some defensive help with our favorite Kiwi Ryan Nelsen off to Blackburn. I'd love to have a Canuck on the team. Just a rumor for now.

sstackho Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Forrest mentioned this on Saturday's Soccercentral (as well as Grande to LA Galaxy). I think he said it was a trial. But the players are off over the winter, right? So I'm not sure exactly what a trial would entail at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Actually, I believe most of the teams are currently training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping that Grande will be going to England (1st Division football there). If I do remember, Ipswich was courting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I do remember, Ipswich was courting him. Ipswich was looking for a wide midfielder, and had Grande trialing there instead of his more natural central midfield role. They let him go as they felt he couldn't help them where they needed him to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 If these Impact players sign with MLS teams do they get a transfer fee? dumb question I know....but a honest dumb question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachesl Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Yes if still under contract, no if not. It is interesting to note that the MLS drafted 29 A-League players, a record I think. They are now starting to view the USL as a cheap source of players. Of course, the remainder of those will remain insigned, as the rules allow the MLS teams to draw a large net without cost or much obligation.
