We got the following from one of our correspondents in Houston who wishes to be anonymous:

There's alot of talk still inside the office about RICARDO CLARK going to Europe, Bobby Boswell had an
offer from Europe but he wants to stay and the Dynamo are getting rid of Patrick Ianni who makes more than 100,000 per year, so with Ianni out and possibly going to a team in California, the Dynamo are willing to give a good salary increase to Boswell, he is 3^rd on the list for defenders that might leave to Europe.

Coach [Kinnear] really likes De Rosario and Ching, they pretty much do whatever they want during practice, show up late, train or don't train, etc… there's too much freedom for those two, but… De Rosario has said a couple of times that he wants to go back home and play for his home team, he is liked over there. But there is no one in Toronto that the Dynamo are willing to take in exchange, so there's still a doubt in that one.

Stuart Holden just came back from Europe, he had surgery in Germany, he is looking at some options as well,
all his GENERATION ADIDAS teammates are already starters for their teams,except for him, and it seems that sending away De Rosario and bringing Stuart Holden to the first team would open a possibility of getting an International striker.

Some of this negotiations are very well advanced, it's crazy down here, with so many things going on its hard
to keep things quiet, like the SUPERCLASICO being played here in Houston on FEBRUARY 3 between AMERICA and CHIVAS MEXICO, still the venue is undecided either Robertson Stadium or Reliant Stadium.
