Abel Xavier has got to be the most visually colorful player to arrive on the squad since Carlos Valderrama. For espn.com, I wrote my view of his signing.Galaxy coach Frank Yallop used to be a teammate of Valderrama, back in their Tampa Bay days. They'd communicate in broken Spanish, Frank mentioned recently. Despite his many years in MLS, Carlos never really got fluent in English.
To be fair, Frank's Spanish isn't all that good, either.
No worries for Abel, though, as he speaks English fine.
