The Real Salt Lake Post

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Marcos Zambrano agrees terms with FC Dallas

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Real Salt Lake people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Emeka Eneli says Real Salt Lake went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

One of our own: George Ferreira joins the Real Salt Lake first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. George Ferreira is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
