    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    McGuire is one of the most sought after strikers in MLS at the moment, and was unfortunately the victim of a failed transfer abroad in January. Despite traveling to England and even taking pictures in the club's kit, Blackburn officials failed to submit the paperwork on time to complete his transfer.

    As a result, he returned to Orlando and is set to play with them at least through the summer transfer window.
