The Fire Passed on Borgetti

According to Luis Arroyave's blog "The Red Card" Jared Borgetti was once on the Chicago Fire's radar when the team was looking to sign a designated player.

The Fire backed off once it heard Borgetti and the Colorado Rapids were in contract discussions. According to Guppy (the Fire's GM), Borgetti to the Rapids was a done deal until Borgetti "reneged" and signed with Mexico's Cruz Azul.

Tony Sanneh playing for the Red Bulls...

According to the Red Card by Luis Arroyave on the Chicago Tribune, Tony Sanneh is set to train with the New York Red Bulls this week where he will finish the last three weeks of his rehab and train with the team. Sanneh believes he will sign with the Red Bulls once he gets medical clearance.

SFUSA's take: I love Tony Sanneh. Sanneh is exactly the type of player that MLS helped developed for the US National team and European squads. I hope he has enough gas in the tank to contribute to the Red Bulls.
