And then there were two, but there can be only one.


Big thanks to our good friends Dynamo Planet for the following email:

Greetings. Here's some more info on the story on Ahn Jung Hwan possibly coming to MLS. Here's our story (on DynamoPlanet) from earlier:


안 정환의 미국 진출에 정통한 한 관계자는 18일 "안정환은 미국 프로팀 대부분이 존재를 알고 있을 만큼 지명도가 높았다. 그 가운데 뉴욕 레드불스・뉴잉글랜드 레볼루션・콜로라도 라피즈・치바스 USA 등 4개 구단이 영입제안을 한 걸로 안다"고 밝혔다.

------------

뉴욕 레드불스는 올시즌 준우승한 강호. 동부리그에서 상위 3팀에 들지 못했지만, 승점이 높아 8강에 턱걸이한 후 8강에서 지난해 우승팀 휴스턴을, 준결승에서 레알 솔트레이크를 꺾고 결승에 진출했다. 아쉽게 결승에서 콜럼버스 크루에 1-3으로 져 준우승했다.

------------

연고지가 로스앤젤레스인 치바스 USA는 한때 홍명보 전 올림픽대표팀 코치가 현역 시절 몸담았던 LA갤럭시와 더비 팀이다. 멕시코 출신 선수들이 많고 올시즌 리그 2위에 올랐지만, 8강에서 레알 솔트레이크에 졌다.


The good news is that I'm studying Korean at the moment lol. The story confirms the four teams mentioned in SI, but it also states that Chivas USA and RBNY are the two teams that are the front-runners. Your hunch is right. Ahn Jung Hwan will likely be going either to Chivas USA or RBNY if he's coming to MLS.

  2. probably New York! They still have Chivas USA's DP, makes more sense.

  4. IM pretty sure that if Chivas is one of the frontrunners than Ahn wont get a DP salary from either team. If that happens than its a great pickup for which ever team gets him. Im hoping its Chivas USA but deep down inside im pretty sure Ahn will pick New Jersey/New York over LA.....Oh well i like both teams

  6. NYRB have a new stadium to fill.... maybe a little added pressure to add a big profile player.

  14. Doesn't LA have a large Korean population? Maybe that would make CUSA try harder to land him as their attendance has been none to good. Didn't LA do the same kind of thing several years back?

  16. New York. With the pressure their facing to deliver next season, i wouldn't be surprised if they signed him for a DP slot if their struggling to get someone of value.

  30. This guy is not worth DP money. If RBNY are going for a DP they will definately go higher profile, and with Van Den Bergh being our first priority i can't see them spending max salary on this guy. Osorio publicly stated that he wants to trade the DP spot to create depth for 2 or 3 guys. This would not be worth the cap it would take up.

  36. The term chink only applies to the Chinese idiot. Everything you've said doesn't make sense on so many levels. Considering how white trash you are and how your only welcome to whites and blacks i'd say your from...houston or...detroit?

  38. Seattle still needs their Asian player. And if the player has to be japanese, it would be awesome to seee Endo, Takahara, or Tulio here.

  40. racism on MLS Rumors! tsk tsk tsk I hope those comments are removed soon. This is America and those racist comments are very unamerican.

    Its funny how you say asians are inferior when they have more asian footballers on top clubs than us americans

  42. I've heard bad things about him. He's a very inconsistent player in the K-League and had a short spell in the J-League where he really dissappointed. Not worth DP money.
