Kaka picked up an injury and will miss the first couple of weeks.

Rumor has it Tim Howard to Colorado will be officially announced tomorrow. The timing makes sense since it's one of the two national tv games the Rapids have and butts in the seats and etc.

As for the move itself...see previous comments. In short, I still don't know if I should be terribly excited, terribly upset, or entirely ambivalent. It's not like the team will be *worse* with Howard.

Fox are reporting that it's done, and that he'll join after the Copa America

Jozy being a competent MLS level striker still is a massive failure, when you factor his salary and DP designation.

Atlanta announced that they'll play home games in Georgia Tech's football stadium until Mercedes Benz Stadium is finished in July/August. So, no extended road trip to start the year.

Atlanta's finances should be fine, Arthur Blank has the resources and knows how to run a professional team. His ownership group will also make out quite well financially with revenue from the new stadium.

I think Atlanta United have a better chance of succeeding than people think. It is obviously a lovely pro sports city, historically, but I think there's more interest in soccer than people outside of the southeast realize. The stadium will be nice/new and is located directly on mass transit. I think the key is getting strong support from the Mexican soccer fans here, they sell out the Georgia Dome every time El Tri plays a friendly here. I don't really know how likely that is, though.

Atlanta are apparently making Miguel Almiron from Lanus their 2nd designated player. $13m transfer fee is being reported. They're skewing young and South American with their designated players, not too surprising with Tata as manager I suppose.

Also yesterday they signed US U-19 player Brandon Vazquez from Tijuana.

Yeah it seems like an absurdly high fee for an MLS team, but that dude has been linked with English clubs in the last window for about the same range, so :shrug:

Yeah, Tata confirmed it in a radio interview, and the rumor on the $13m fee is apparently true too
