Smacks of magical thinking doesn't it? Go scouting, pray a bit, and check under the tree to see what Santa Transfer Window has left you. Of course, I realize that headlines can often be misleading, and perhaps I'm reading a bit too much into it.

Like so much surrounding Fernando Torres in the past eighteen months, the sudden Twitter explosion about his possible return to Liverpool doesn't make much sense. A seemingly baseless rumor about his current club's willingness to sell for £30million less than he was purchased for eleven months ago, and all of a sudden there's legitimate-seeming people having legitimate-seeming conversations about the likelihood that Liverpool would make a move for him.

Since giving up the lead in the second half against Real Salt Lake, the Philadelphia Union have found themselves ahead on the scoreboard for all of eight minutes.

Whether you believe Veljko Paunovic was an inspired signing, an affable old Serbian, or merely another band-aid to cover up the most glaring hole on the Union's roster (attacking midfielder), you have to admit that the Union have a) created more chances and b) looked disorganized at best and chaotic at worst defensively.

After Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Shrewsbury Westley's men must react or the slide down the league could continue. Oxford won't be an easy game as our head to head record shows only one win in the 8 games against the Yellows.
