The rumor mill's ceaseless churning brings us stories and takes them away with agreeable certainty and balance. Last month, we were informed Arsenal's Mathieu Flamini need for a new club (he is out of favor and in the last year of his contract at Arsenal) had brought him to the attention of MLS.
The 32-year-old midfielder does not seem a likely candidate for the New York Red Bulls, but he could conceivably meet the needs of many teams around the league. But the rumor mill now seeks to take that story away from MLS.
