This just in....Dispatch reporting on Crew in off season!
I know it may surprising to most of you, but apparently with pro and amateur football seasons over in Ohio, the Blue Jackets disappointing and no Thad Five there is enough room in the ever shrinking dispatch sports section to report on our beloved Crew. Three articles this month must mean Shawn Mitchell is pulling in some serious overtime.
The Dispatch articles have centered mostly around last year's team MVP, Guillermo Barros Schelotto. His contract runs through the end of this coming season, but there have been conflicting reports about what he wants. The Crew front office keeps reafirming their belief that he is happy here while interviews out of Argentina have stated otherwise. Every one in Columbus will only feel better when Guille is spotted at training next month.
The other speculation coming from the dispatch is something that Walt already reported on in his Rouge Review. It would seem that the Crew's top target is Glasglow Celtic striker Maciej Zurawski. You can read more about him in Walt's article or his wiki page. "Magic" as his is often called would provide an instant impact in MLS and would be a tremendous weapon with Guille serving him balls.

Interesting about the Zurawski rumor. He was linked to the Galaxy earlier, but that one went nowhere. I got several comments from Poland on my site saying they wanted him on a team where he would get playing time before the Euros. (And I also got a few saying he was over the hill and Poland didn't want him.)
By the time Alexi denied the rumors I'd kind of warmed to the idea of him coming over, so I wouldn't mind seeing him in MLS with the Crew.
