Canadian Soccer News has confirmed that Nathan Sturgis is being shopped. Yesterday, the Reds were close to a deal with Seattle to return Sturgis back to the North-West.

Sturgis had his most successful year in 2010, starting the majority of the Sounders games.

Seattle needs cap relief and were looking to move a combination or all of David Estrada, Miguel Montaņo and Mike Fucito. All three are playing limited minutes for Seattle. However, TFC sees promise in the three relatively young athletes.

The Sounder cannot afford Sturgis, who is on an $89,250 salary, without receiving allocation back in the deal and Toronto was not willing to part with any causing the deal to fall apart.

However, it’s likely that Sturgis’ days with TFC are numbered and the club remains active in its efforts to move him.

Nah,

I think we can do better in a trade of Sturgis for one player.

Right now another team's backup CB would be good enough. We are not light at DM.

curious to see how this develops.
Where does this leave our midfield with Sturgis gone?

Ah you beat me to it. This will rid our glut of defensive midfielders (again).

I think our other moves killed any chance of that Seattle transaction.

Meh.

EDIT: Miguel maybe worth getting from Seattle, but he's international player on a loan.

If anyone needs a player shipped out of town, just get ArmenJBX to change his profile pic to that player.

I think Estrada is pretty good for MLS in Football Manager.

Agreed. This trade is probably more to just get rid of Sturgis (who probably isn't happy to be in Toronto) ASAP!

Im sure theyre trying to get a player thatll work here too.
If Seattle value him enough to toss 3 ok players our way, other teams must think hes decent enough as well

Ahh the other other shoe has dropped. I knew Sturgis would be gone by the end of the season.

Or maybe Seattle is only team who value Sturgis given how he played for them. Giving away 3 players for one player is to open up roster slots for other signings. Seattle might have to give up an international slot and/or draft picks to make this trade worth it for TFC.

I have no idea how true this rumour is but if we are going to trade Nathan Sturgis after this management group acquired him for a 1st round pick less than a year ago than I would hope we would get close to the equivalent back.

Clearly we need to get Vancouver's 2011 #8 pick for the circle to be complete.

Conspiracy theory: TFC may have leaked this to people, so it looks to Sturgis like hey, we tried to get you back to Seattle, but they couldn't clear enough payroll for you. So instead, we are shipping you to (insert team) for (players much better than the 3 listed above).

As was pointed out above it was Earl Cochrane who made that trade and it's maybe worth bearing in mind that it might be one of the reasons he ultimately didn't get the GM job.
