Clint Mathis traded to LA Galaxy

There are rumors flying that Clint Mathis has been traded to the LA Galaxy for a 3rd round draft pick. Maybe they are more than rumors and the official announcement just hasn’t been made yet. Either way it sounds like the Galaxy are getting a good deal.

I’ll admit that Mathis was always one of my favorite players. I wish he had gotten more time with the US national team, but oh well. He played in 2002 world cup, pretty good showing for the US. He didn’t play in 2006 and look what happened.

The Red Bulls are going thru some big changes now with Bruce Arena and Clint Mathis gone, there are rumors that Claudio Reyna is on his way out as well. Where would Claudio go? Would Reyna stay in MLS, go back to a European league, or just retire?

Frank Yallop and Bruce Arena moving on

Frank Yallop is leaving the Galaxy to go back to San Jose when they become the newest expansion team next year.  Even newer news is that Bruce Arena and the NY Red Bulls will no longer be working together.

So what is going to happen in the now vacant coaching positios in NY and LA?  Maybe Bruce will just move to LA?  I doubt it but I really don’t know what is going to happen.

I think if I were a Red Bulls fan I’d be kinda sad to see Bruce going.  Galaxy fans are probably happy to see Yallop leaving.  Am I very far off on this Red Bull and Galaxy fans?

Where do you see Bruce Arena ending up next?
