MLS bringing in more big names: Marcelo Salas next?
« on: June 06, 2007, 01:26:24 PM »
Even heard a rumour about Makalele .................

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

BRIDGEVIEW, Illinois (AP) - The Chicago Fire continues to talk with Chilean striker Marcelo Salas after an impressive trial last week, but no contract has been offered.

Talks haven't even reached the negotiating stage, Fire spokesman Daniel Jankowski said Tuesday.

"It's still more of a feeling out process," Jankowski said. "We're obviously interested in him. When we had him in ... we were impressed with what he could bring to the table."

Salas hasn't played since December, when he left Universidad de Chile in a dispute with a court-appointed bankruptcy official.

But the 32-year-old has a knack for creating offense, scoring four goals for Chile in the 1998 World Cup and playing five years with Lazio and Juventus in Serie A. The Fire has scored only 11 goals this season, three in Sunday's win over the Columbus Crew.

Salas also played with River Plate of Argentina, which he led to three league championships from 1996-98, as well as the Copa Libertadores title.

If Salas signs with the Fire, he would be paired with Mexico's World Cup veteran Cuauhtemoc Blanco, who is to join the Chicago club in July.

Yeah, Makelele said something about possibly going there next year when his contract is up with Chelsea. Not sure he could keep up with Essien and Obi. Remains to be seen though.

Based on what this article here saying though it seem like Salas eh do nothing since 1998. Really and truly though it feels like I haven't heard this man's name in years. Is he still that good?
