LA Galaxy has signed defender Abel Xavier from Middlesbourgh, which from all reports has been dissapointing for Adelaide United as Abel's agent was born in Adelaide, and had created a big link between the clubs. A collegue of mine from Spain has said he has seen on a internet website for football goss that roberto carlos is looking at his options from Australia and has links with a family member from Gawler (just outside adelaide). But the chance of signing carlos is low becuase of wage demands. It is understood that if that bid fails work will continue on bringing in hayden Foxe who has been released by Leeds United.
