MONTREAL -- The Montreal Impact acquired a pair of veterans Monday in goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts and midfielder Davy Arnaud. The expansion MLS team acquired Ricketts from the Los Angeles Galaxy for allocation money. Arnaud came from Sporting Kansas City in exchange for defender Seth Sinovic and allocation money. Allocation money can be used to sign players or allocate against their contracts to get under the salary cap. Ricketts, 34, was MLS goalkeeper of the year in 2010 and was a finalist for the award in 2009. But injuries and the play of Josh Saunders made him available. Saunders was in goal for the Galaxy winning playoff run and played 19 games this season, compared to 15 for the six-foot-four Jamaican international. Montreal head coach Jesse Marsch called Ricketts "one of the best goalkeepers in the league." "He will be an important piece to our team in 2012," Marsch said in a statement. "We value him greatly and know that he will give us experience and quality in front of the net." Arnaud, 31, spent 10 seasons with Kansas City, playing in a team record 240 regular-season games. "Im very excited about coming to Montreal," said Arnaud. "I heard a lot of great things about this city. The 2012 season will be a very special one for soccer in Montreal and its great to be part of this." Arnaud, who has 43 career goals, was limited to two assists in 16 games last season in a campaign interrupted by sports hernia surgery in July. "Davy is a fierce competitor, an incredible leader and a hard-working player," Marsch said. "He is a proven winner in MLS. He will help us establish a winning environment with our team. "His acquisition makes us a better team." Sinovic played 20 games for Kansas City this year, arriving in Montreal via last weeks expansion draft. Prior to joining the Galaxy for the 2009 season, Ricketts played in England, signing a contract with Bolton Wanderers in 2004, before moving to second division side Bradford City. The Impact also have goalkeeper Evan Bush on the books.

Suns officials say they decided over the weekend that Frye should re-join the team after he was unanimously cleared by several doctors, including some from Johns Hopkins and Columbia universities. Frye has been inactive, in the literal sense of the word, for a year while treating an enlarged heart apparently caused by a virus. How he got the virus remains a mystery. "Theres no real explanation," he said. "It could be a thousand things -- I drank too much coffee, didnt get enough sleep, too much sleep. Its like my heart had a cold, it had a cold for a year, it went away so now Im better." The 6-foot-11 forward has played seven seasons in the NBA, his last three with the Suns. He grew up in Phoenix and starred at the University of Arizona. At 30, Frye is the oldest player on the Suns overhauled roster. "Theres a lot of weird feelings going on right now," he said as he stood in his No. 8 uniform Monday and spoke to the gathering at Suns media day. "Its been a long year. Its been one of the hardest years Ive ever had to go through just because I couldnt do anything. I couldnt rehab it. I couldnt go out on the court and work on it. It was just something I had to sit and wait and heal." Asked if he had done any basketball activity, Fryes answer was: very little. "Just a little dribbling here, a little shooting there," he said, "just a little dribbling here, a little shooting there, but not enough to break a sweat, put it that way." Now its up Intestate 17 to Flagstaff and six days of workouts at an elevation of 7,000 feet in the Suns training camp at Northern Arizona University. Frye said he will ease into things and knows he is under the watchful eye of the Suns training staff. "When I go out there Im going to go as hard as I can," he said. "Im in a safe environment. If the coaches or trainers see anything and say, Lets take a step back," that is what he will do. He said he had talked with other NBA players who had similar conditions and they all said the same thing. Listen to your doctor and follow his advice. Frye must harddly recognize the Suns from the team he left two seasons ago.dddddddddddd. New general manager Sean McDonough and new coach Jeff Hornacek have greatly remodeled the roster. Frye, a career 39 per cent 3-point shooter, would be an important component to what Hornacek wants to do, especially with a lineup that has two point guards -- Goran Dragic and newcomer Eric Bledsoe -- on the floor at the same time. During Mondays news conference, Hornacek shouted from the back "Can you still shoot?" "Absolutely," Frye said. McDonough said every roster plan he developed was better with Frye in it. "I think hell play a lot of power forward, maybe even some centre," McDonough said. "The way coach and I would like to play is with the floor spread, and having a power forward that can shoot is a big part of that plan. And as you guys know, Channing is one of the better if not the best shooting big man in the league." Frye did not downplay the enormity of his condition or what might have happened had it not been detected when it was. "I think it was very serious," he said. "As professional athletes, we push ourselves every day. Theres really no medium to exercise, theres zero and theres a hundred. Every doctor I went to was like, Thank God we caught it when we did." But he said he never felt his basketball career was over. "When things didnt look good, I just felt like I wasnt done yet," he said, "and I was determined to approach this like I approach everything else, ever since I was in high school. I wasnt always the best, I wasnt always the strongest or the tallest or the fastest. I just wanted to play ball, thats what Im supposed to do and I never felt like I was done." Frye is married with two small children and he said they were always his first consideration. "If at any point the doctors had said, Hey, look, this is not going to work out, I would have just stopped, he said, "because they (his family) come before this, come before my career." Now comes the difficult chore of becoming an NBA player again. "Yeah, its difficult, but thats the challenge. Thats exciting to me," Frye said. "After not challenging myself for a year, Ive got a lot of challenge energy stored up." cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
