Yes and no. I'm not saying it's not happening. It's just that even the "reputable" sources are full of, well, crap. And that was a few days ago (seems more like a week ago, wasn't it?) and that was Sheva. Maybe a chosen few get a leway depending on teh coach and the team?

I don't know. I just know that I'm extra sceptical right now all in hopes that Gooch is going to end up anymore by Middlesbrough.

looks like he is back with the team from the training photos for June 8th.

So he was with the team on June 6th:

Not with the team on June 7th:

And then back with the team on June 8th, it was reported he was meeting with Boro yesterday so this could have happened.

Thanks. INteresting. Still, it's only probable. Teams and players meet and talk all the time. Naturally you'd think things are searious. But even Sky Sports only lists it as possible

I see nobody's standing directly in front of Chris Albright, if you know what I mean (see this post if you don't get it).

Reyna is in front of him with strategically placed hands...

After waiting a bit, the US press conference finally got under way. It wasn't the usual boring affair, with Landon Donovan and Pablo Mastroeni serving as the late substitutes for Oguchi "I wasn't in England yesterday, really I wasn't" Onyewu and John "I didn't play against Angola" O'Brien.

Ess Eff, Calif.: Is the rumor true that Gooch jetted off to sign and have a physical with 'Boro?

Steven Goff: Where there's smoke, there's fire. We'll see what happens, but it is pretty clear he is headed to England next season.

Latest rumor is that Reading are hoping to add Oguchi Onyewu to their squad of soccerball players, but will have to throw Boro boss Gareth Southgate off the trail first.
