Zidane headed to MLS?

CHICAGO (AFP) - French star Zinedine Zidane, whose legendary career ended with an infamous head-butt in last year's World Cup final, has received a comeback offer from the Chicago Fire, a US newspaper reported.

Fire general manager John Guppy told the Chicago Tribune newspaper that his team and rivals from Major League Soccer have been in touch with the playmaker in hopes of luring him out of retirement, but all bids have been rejected.

"We reached out to Zidane," Guppy said. "But so has every other MLS club. The feedback we've all gotten is that he has retired."

It is doubtful that he comes out of retirement though. Would like to see him come and play though.

Zidane is still contimplating it. Either Chicago or RedBull.

I think that the way his career ended (if he stays retired) is reason enough to stage a come back. We should not remember him for the one awful play that cost his nation a second World Cup, but instead remember him for a decaade as one of the top players in the game.

Coming to MLS could help that. I would prefer Red Bull with Reyna and Zidane to combat the Galaxy of Beckham and Donovan.

Reuniting Beckham and Zidane in Los Angeles could truly be a Hollywood ending, and I am not certain how it would work in real life. They might need Roberto Carlos to balance things out. And an extra set of accountants and lawyers to make the economics balance because now you are talking a Hollywood blockbuster budget. The MLS already has a Galaxy -- now it needs some Galacticos.

Now, I think that adding another stud to MLS must be to a different team and stand by my earlier idea of Red Bull. Though DC United may be a good idea as well. They have slots available.
