Hello, everybody and welcome to another post of Super Soccer Ian. This time, I'll be noting some recent MLS transfers that have been made. There have been lots of transfers from Europe and overseas. So, let's get started with the news.
Some really big news that recently happened was the signing of Swedish international Stefan Ishizaki to the LA Galaxy. I think that he'll contribute greatly to the midfield of the Galaxy. Also, LA have traded quite a few of their midfield players, which means that Ishizaki could help cover their midfield and help the team. Plus, LA signed Canadian international Rob Friend, who'll also help their attacking. That's the biggest transfer activity with the LA Galaxy.
Also, the Columbus Crew were the center of attention on January 13. On that day, they signed USMNT member Michael Parkhurst. He was the first MLS rookie ever to make the all-star team. Now, he'll be returning to the MLS to play for the Columbus Crew. I think that the Crew will do very well having an international player on their team that can help out with their midfield.
Lastly, there was some big news in Seattle. On January 31, the Sounders signed Marco Pappa via allocation. He'll be another international player on the Seattle squad, and I think that he could play extremely well in Clint Dempsey's position, if Deuce is on international duty. He's an excellent attacking midfielder that would be excellent in Seattle's diamond formation. I think that he'll help the Sounders a lot with set pieces and playmaking.
That's all for today, folks! There's been a lot of exciting MLS transfers and news, and we'll have plenty more coming up. Stay tuned for more offseason MLS news and transfers. Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

Topps MLS Soccer Cards
Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Super Soccer Ian. This time, I'll be actually talking about the new Topps MLS Soccer Player Cards. I have two packs of them, and I've been really impressed with how good they are. I would definitely recommend them to any fan of the MLS.
You can buy the cards in boxes. Each box contains eight packs, and each pack contains six cards, making each box a total of 48 cards. The best thing about the Topps cards is that in every box of cards, one of them is signed by the actual player. The autographs are Topps certified. In my very first box, I got a player card signed by Chris Wondolowski for the San Jose Earthquakes. I was really surprised, and I really liked how I could maybe get the other cards signed after games or during player events. I got my second box for Christmas. I got a player card autographed by Real Salt Lake rookie John Stertzer. I also got a really nice binder that had sleeves with nine slots to put the cards in. I was able to sort the cards by team, and at the end, I had myself a really nice player card collection.
My favorite thing about the cards is that you can learn facts about each player and enjoy the surprise of getting a real autograph from a real player. I think that these cards are perfect for any fan of the MLS, and 2013 was actually the first year they ever did these soccer cards. You can visit the Topps official website at www.Topps.com. Who will YOU get an autograph from?
