Carlos Ruiz on the move?

According to Allen Hopkins of ESPN, there are growing rumblings that the Columbus Crew could make a move to pry Carlos Ruiz away from FC Dallas. Ruiz has been substituted in two of the past three matches by first-year head coach Steve Morrow and that hasn't sat well with the FCD captain.

Ruiz and Sigi Schmid were a very successful pairing in 2002 leading the Galaxy to their first MLS Cup after three previous championship-game losses. And to say Schmid has a place in his heart for Ruiz is an understatement. The Crew are quietly unbeaten and seem to be only a proven goal scorer away from making noise in the East.

MLS potential big signings...

Here's a roundup of MLS potential big signings...

Rumor #1)
French legend Zinedine Zidane could be set to come out of retirement to join former Real Madrid teammate David Beckham at the L.A. Galaxy. Galaxy boss Alexi Lalas is now hoping he can convince the former France International to come out of retirement for a final swansong in Major League Soccer.

Rumor #2)
Crew coach Sigi Schmid remained mum about the team's possible acquisition of Boca Juniors forward Guillermo Barros Schelotto. One source close to the situation said the Argentine could be in uniform in Columbus Crew Stadium on Thursday night during a nationally televised game with the New England Revolution.

Update:
Guillermo Barros Schelotto is on his way to Major League Soccer.
