Would Terry Leave

There's a lot being made of John Terry's contract status. With new FIFA rules, he could buy out the last 2 years of his contract and move to a new club. And talks his agent has had with Chelsea are reported to have broke down. The real question here is why would John Terry want to leave Chelsea? He's reported to be pulling in £4.5 million / year. He's been with Chelsea since he was a youth with his only time away from the club being a short loan stint at Nottingham Forest. He's never expressed any interested in leaving Chelsea. Why would he now?

Metzelder : Leaving Germany?

As recently mentioned, German Christoph Metzelder is available on a free transfer. It didn't take long for him to be linked with Real Madrid. Didn't Real learn their lesson after bringing in injury-cursed Jonathan Woodgate?

Top 25 US Seniors

Props to College To Pros for catching a list of the top 25 high school seniors in the US. I was surprised not to see one or three planning on heading over to Europe to play. Do they see it as an option? Or if they do, do they leave before their senior year of high school?

Rapids & Wasson Come To Terms

One of the young local players the Colorado Rapids coaching staff has been big on is Daniel Wasson (Colorado Springs, CO). He was a 4th round pick in the supplemental draft last year but managed 17 appearances with the first team. Rumor has it that he and the Rapids have come to terms and that he's putting pen to paper today and signing a new contract.

Colorado Rapids Incompetence

I got the latest Rapids newsletter in my inbox yesterday. In the recent past they have put out press releases with an incorrect domain name. No, that incorrect domain name didn't involve their flubbed attempt to change their name to the arsenal. This is rapids.com. The team does not and has not owned this URL. Yet again they show great incompetence in getting their own domain correct. No wonder this team struggles to sell tickets. They can't even get the people to the right web site!
