i think cuathemoc blanco, jared borgettii or any mexican is good like ramon morales from chivas, adolfo bautista from chivas ,tripa perez, francisco palencia, omar bravo there all great players so yeah they should pick some and send then but for chicago fire i prefer andres guardado from atlas. peace out my fellow beaners. simon y ariba las chivas.

Update: The Guardian is reporting that Shevchenko wants to leave Chelsea. Of course his salary is £30m! I dont see the Fire picking that up, but it would be interesting, nonetheless. Another idea: how about Zidane? I know he's retired, but what a great way to ease into it by playing a couple of years in the MLS? He could salvage his reputation from the infamous head butt incident.

I saw Borghetti play in a couple of games for Bolton last year during the UEFA Tourney and he looked a bit clueless. After I read this post I looked at Luis' blog and noticed that he is playing in Saudi Arabia, so maybe a return to North America is in order. How about Fonseca? I think he's playing in Europe somewhere. No offence to the good Polish residents of Chicago, but I think that from a marketing perspective, a top-notch Mexican international would be awesome for both the Fire and the MLS.

I agree Borghetti would be an interesting pick-up. The Fire would get a strong player while also helping drive box office ticket sales.

I would rather have them choose someone from South America, a young talent with a potential of re-sale. But very good one, where they don't have to pay it all for the player, so the owner takes talent and profits of it at the end.

I always like Jared Borghetti--the Mexican international who plays for Bolton. But what about Chuatemoc Blanco? He would be pretty cool!

I have heard rumblings that Brian Mcbride a Chicago Native might someday return to finish his career in chicago. Though with his strong play for Fulham this year I wonder if they would let him go. But, I hope if Mcbride came back it would not be as a Designated Player I would prefer the Fire get even a more recognizable and international player than Mcbride.
