Dear sweet Jesus! It may be too early in the morning for me to be excited about some random rumor, but I'll be damned if the thought of Juan Roman Riquelme playing stateside doesn't get me all hot & bothered. Obviously if he were to come to MLS he wouldn't be with my team as we're all DPed to the max, but can you imagine how dangerous Chivas USA would be with this guy running their attack (and putting asses in seats)? How about him going to Dallas to feed balls to Big Kenny Cooper and erase all memories of their previous DP? Or Perhaps he's the guy Seattle brings in to make a big splash?
Now again this is just a rumor, but over the last year I have run my mouth to anyone who would listen --even a club GM or two-- about how this guy would be the perfect DP signing; an amazing attacking player with a big name and a big time international pedigree to match, Spanish-speaking and UNDER the age of 30. Dear sweet Lord in heaven let this one actually come to pass.

Well, Chivas doesn't have a DP slot anymore. I would be elated if the Hunt's realized that they can take the padlock of the wallet for player like this. He'd look so good in hoops. Just think about this midfield and forward line:
-----Ricchetti--Rocha-----
-McCarty--Riquelme--Toja--
----Cooper---Alvarez------
and that's with Saragosa, Ricardinho, Oduro, Wagenfuhr, Wagner and Rhine on the bench, plus Shea, Avila, Ibrahim, and Wallace waiting in the wings. With all of those young players watching a master firsthand, at least a couple would become forces on the national team during the next 10 years.
But the Hunts are probably too cheap.
