Claude Makalele wanted to retire from international games after last years world cup where he was with France to their 2nd place finish. Now he wants to stay with France through Euro 2008 which does not sit well with his current club coach Jose Murinho at Chelsea. Along with that and a very deep squad at Chelsea, Makalele’s playing time has been very limited.
Makalele still has a full year left on his Chelsea contract but he isn’t sure if he’ll be there next season. He admitted that he’d be willing to play in Major League Soccer because it wouldn’t affect his status with his national team.
Where would Calude end up if he did come to MLS? Who would want him or benefit from him the most? The first thing that comes to my mind when there is mention of any French star coming to MLS would have to be TFC. Maybe there is somewhere he fits in better, possible New England is Joseph is on his way out. What do you think?

Watching European soccer is like blowing a$$! The same teams win each year. Why watch when you know what the outcome is going to be. Europeans don’t have taste.
