According to The Daily Mail, Manchester United are ready to make F.C Porto's centre back Jorge Rolandotheir first acquisition of the transfer window after making an £18 million bid for the Portuguese international (which actually falls quite a long way short of the Dragões completely ridiculous £28 million valuation for the 6′ 3" defender).

Well that was quick. I guess we know what Payne was doing in the Middle East last month, because hot on the heels of the draft last Thursday, United announced the acquisition of Australian forward Danny Allsopp (lately of Al-Rayyan in Qatar)....

"Krzysztof is a solid defender who will make an immediate impact on the team with his style of play," said Fire technical director Frank Klopas.

It's been a while since I last spoke with Fire Technical Director Frank Klopas so we had a few things to catch up on when we talked today. First on the list was the Fire's newest player, defender Krzysztof Krol. The 22-year-old Krol, who the Fire officially acquired on loan from Polish team Jagiellonia Bialystok, will likely fill the void left by Gonzalo Segares at left back.

The Philadelphia Union has announced the signing of U.S. youth international defender Michael Orozco on loan from San Luis FC of the Mexican first division.
