Not been on here as much lately and just found out about this through twitter. I agree feels like I have known him for a long time and was just thinking how young he must have been in the early days of the forum. This has left me with such feelings of sorrow and loss. Condolences to all his family and friends.
The New England Revolution have signed Ian Harkes from Dundee Utd, is he any good? I usually don't remember players from other teams even when they play against us.
In Beale's response he did say that Cifuentes's contract is not up till Dec so maybe they are trying to work around that, hence he said it's not close to completion.
It may be due to the MLS season not ending till October 27th. I know when Matt Turner, Tajon Buchanan, and Adam Buska moved from the NE Revolution to new clubs they played till the end of the season before moving.
