Cooper is gone, and we picked a defender (CB) called Andrew Jean-Baptiste, also picked Brendan King in second round, he is a midfielder.

Videos!

So tis is another good signing;

http://www.portlandtimbers.com/news/2012/01/timbers-sign-designated-player-kris-boyd

Kris Boyd is a massive signing, big step up from Cooper, thats for sure.

Don't think he did to well after his time with Rangers, also makes him the 3rd designated player after Valencia and Chara.Azevo2012-01-31 12:02:43

Still Gutted about Valencia, was really keen on seeing him play, though after hearing about his extended medicals I am not surprised that he has something wrong with him. It's a shame that when importing players from clubs which just probably do not have the medical resources can end up with players having something quite major wrong with them. I wonder if Valencia knew about the problem and his former club told him it was nothing just so they could get a nice chunk of cash out of it?

You might want to hold off on that Patrick.  They advertised the game last night as being on, but the sky guide has the ATP Tour 7am til 3pm.  Must be on ESPN 2.  Sorry man.

Thought it was to good to be true. They've slowly been dropping MLS from the one ESPN channel we have for the last 2-3 years. Doubt we'll ever get ESPN 2 for another 1029303294095842509 years.

Probably use the odd MLS game to fill in time and do replays in the middle of the week whilst maybe, just maybe, showing the final live. Doubt it though. Probably because we're the only ones watching it haha.Azevo2012-03-10 14:18:15

Same here. Have the MLS app on my android, but for some reason none of the results so far are showing up. Only results are from CONCACAF Champions League, where the third game has been 18 minutes through for 2 days now. Tried on my tablet as well, same thing. It's a shame, because the app looks awesome. Anyone else having this problem? Gonna have to watch the updates on m.mlssoccer.com instead.
