No surprise here. However, I can't see Chicago trading for McBride before he gets back from the Olympics.

why doesnt Mo deal hime somewhere else? is anyone other then Chicago inquiring?
bit surprised you asked that, hes publically said that he doesnt want to play anywhere else but hsi hometown.
I'm sure MO's tried, but McBride doesn't want to sign with anyone but Chicago, so you'd have to be crazier than a shithouse rat to trade for his rights at this point.Originally Posted by coisty1966
yeah but how many times have you heard that from players and they all of the sudden have a change of heart......money talks and if someone gives him more then Chicago is willing then never say never......
but do you think he'd sit a whole year just because he wont play anywhere but Chicago.....not many years left in his tank, why waste one?
its official...Wynne and Edu going to Beijing
EDU AND WYNNE TO COMPETE AT 2008 OLYMPICS IN BEIJING
TFC Players to suit up for U.S. Men’s Olympic Team
Toronto FC announced Thursday that midfielder Maurice Edu and defender Marvell Wynne have been named to the U.S. Men’s Olympic team roster for the upcoming games in Beijing. Head Coach Peter Nowak named the 18 man roster in coordination with the USOC via conference call from Chicago.
The United States will begin training on Sunday, July 20, in Palo Alto, California before departing to Hong Kong on Thursday, June 25 for the ING Cup. In Hong Kong, the team will face two Olympic team opponents in the Ivory Coast and Cameroon. Edu and Wynne are expected to meet up with the National team after their commitments with Toronto FC.
“We congratulate both Mo (Maurice) and Marvell, on what is sure to be an experience of a lifetime,” said head coach John Carver. “It’s not everyday that an athlete gets a chance to experience something like this – we wish them the best of luck and hope they bring home a medal when they return to Toronto.”
Edu and Wynne both competed in the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Tournament in February and March of this year helping the U.S. earn a berth for the 2008 Olympic Games. Prior to the tournament in the spring, both players attended training camp in China in December of 2007 playing in two matches.
At the senior level, Edu has seven caps. The U-23 captain attended his first ever Mens’ National team camp in Switzerland in October of 2007, that was followed by a friendly against South Africa in November. In early 2008, Edu travelled to Los Angeles to face Sweden in a friendly and played the full 90 minutes in a 2-0 victory. A month later In February he came on as a substitute against Mexico in a game that was played in Houston in front of over 70,000 fans. The United States played three friendlies prior to the beginning of their 2008 FIFA World Cup Qualifying campaign, and Edu featured in all of them. Those included a game where the midfielder came on as a substitute against England at Wembley Stadium, a full 90 minute outing against Spain, as well as a 45 minute outing against Argentina in a sold out Giants Stadium in New York.
Wynne earned his first cap at the senior level in the summer of 2007, earning a spot on the U.S. team for the Copa America tournament where he faced Argentina and played the full 90 minutes.
The U.S. will begin their quest at the Olympic Games on August 7 against Japan. The other teams in their group include the Netherlands and Nigeria. The Games run until August 24.

The MLS needs to start scheduling this shit properly, what a joke!
Carver is being very diplomatic in that press release... I am sure he is really pissed about this.
so are they gone after the San Jose game or before?
Sucks not to have Wynne for the Montreal game... sigh...
Yeah, just imagine, we might have to settle for a right back who plays defense.
Wynne's a talented guy with huge potential but his positioning sucks donkey balls.
I think Edu would be able to leave whenever considering that he is suspended for SJ anyways.
but he destroyed Montreal in that first Canada Cup game. they had nothing for him.
Yeah, and Velez was probably the best defender in the USL.. so what? I get the point that if he dominated them once he might well do it again, but that doesn't mean a) he should abrogate his responsibility to play defense or that b) ANY of our defenders on that side should be able to handle Montreal.
Please, if Eddie Sebrango thinks he's pulling that "turn and pull the ball back" move he used in Vacouver on Tebily or James, they're kidding themselves.
We wil do fine without either of them
