so, the queens team is still on. (i actually went to some meetings about the stadium project for my job a while ago, and then it seemed to die).
but it won't be the Cosmos:

This is a lot of it: http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/soccerusa/id/2441?cc=5901
Also one of the hard & fast entry requirements for the last, I don't know, 4-5 expansion clubs has been "have your own stadium" and NYCFC doesn't have a stadium at all, nor a deal in place to build one, or land, or anything. There's a very palpable sense that the league is pushing everything aside for that $100mil because each investment group (including, allegedly, those from clubs like Tampa that haven't existed in 10 years) gets a cut of the dough.
I've heard about the Slim/Chivas rumors, but that's based around the prospect of him buying Real Chivas and just discarding/selling Chivas USA. They sure as shit are doing terribly as-is, so I could see something happening. Lots of rumors of the league moving them to FL but they've already failed there once...

Additionally I unfollowed @MLS on Twitter because of their NYCFC spamming. It's a shitshow and really has made me think whether there aren't 15-16 teams in the league that are just sort of "there" to the league.

Reports are saying Robbie Rogers to sign with the Galaxy and Mike Magee is going to the Fire in return. Any thoughts, Dan?
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 25 May 2013 03:32 (ten years ago) link
I think in the end it's a win for the Fire, having traded Oduro for Dilly Duka and Rogers' rights, which has now been played into Magee. Magee is a local guy, in the prime of his career, but he's a hard worker more than an outright scorer, which is what the Fire desperately need. I guess I'm glad Rogers will get to play again on his own terms. If Duka turned out to be worth a shit it'd be even better, but he hasn't shown a whole lot so far.
None of this changes the fact that in the first 1/3 of the season the Fire have 6 goals and that's what everyone is still talking about. They pissed away time doing this (and the Soumare deal) but none of those points dropped in 1-0 losses to crappy teams are going to come back as a result. :/
Also Soumare coming in means Arne Friedrich is likely to retire, it's just a matter of time.
― a monolithic testament to shiftlessness and lost productivity (dan m), Saturday, 25 May 2013 12:25 (ten years ago) link
Also LA fans are piiiiisssed about this, which does give me a twinge of pleasure. Magee was, if not their big offensive performer (although he has I think 7 goals this year, 3 of which were against the Fire) one of the club's most popular players. They put him in goal once, for fuck's sake.

*he was one of the club's most popular players
― a monolithic testament to shiftlessness and lost productivity (dan m), Saturday, 25 May 2013 12:29 (ten years ago) link
I'm really surprised you got a player and not a pick or two or a slot for an overseas player. I did not think the Galaxy liked Rogers enough to give up a legit asset, but I guess they feel he'll bring them enough on and off the field to make the sacrifice worth it. Magee should help make the rest of the season a bit more productive, and 11 points out of playoff position is recoverable this early on.
