Garber announces McBride deal done

[S_D]

Announcement tomorrow.

No indication of who we got in the deal, but McBride is going to shitcago

[Vindaloo]

Toronto's probably got fucked on this deal.


Chicago Tribune

During halftime of Thursday's MLS All-Star game, MLS commissioner Don Garber said that there would be an announcement regarding Brian McBride on Friday.

"It got resolved today," Garber responded when asked about trade talks involving the Fire and Toronto FC. "We'll announce something tomorrow. Brian McBride will be in our league.


"It's taken us awhile to come up with a resolutions that's fair. But that resolution is complete."
According to a source close to the Fire, the framework of the trade is complete but the deal has yet to be finalized.

Carlos Ruiz in a 3-way deal with LA

Hmmm... not sure how I'd feel about that. History says yes but 1 goal in 7 games started this year? Getting up there in age too.

Is that the same old speculation or do you have any good dirt?

It's probably allocation money and a first round pick.

Guaranteed.

Guaranteed.

Fuck That

[LucaGol]

Fuck That

But the nonchalance of it all leads me to believe that's what'll be.

I hope Im wrong.

[NF-FC]

i'm guessing Nyarko, couple 2nd round picks and partial allocation

Yeah, I'd take Nyarko. He's small but he's still young.

[Corpand]

Ill take anything that will allow us to trade within the league. Better late than never.

PS. Barrett stinks..

[S_D]

As I mentioned in another thread if that insider on BS was correct:

Mo asks for Mapp 1 for 1
Chi - Offers Rolfe or Barrett 1 for 1
Mo - Rolfe or Barett +Draft picks/allocations

Surely we won't get less.

Nyarko is a crap shoot. We need to take away one of their front line players and get him in our lineup (esp if it is a forward)

Can't wait to hear the news tomorrow

[bimmer]

If we end up with Barrett, heads are going to roll...

[dantdot]

It better not be true, Barrett is their Cunningham Noooooooooooo!

[arbogast]

Better be Rolfe. Thats all I have to say. IT'D BETTER FUCKING BE ROLFE !!!!!!

Ives reported earlier today that Rolfe is in town. He claims it's unrelated toa deal but know I wonder....


There weren't that many actual MLS all-stars at the party too long (they have a game today after all), but there were plenty of MLS players in attendance (including All-Star snub Gonzalo Segares, Chicago teammate Chris Rolfe and New England midfielder Jeff Larentowicz. And no Rolfe, wasn't in town to complete a trade to Toronto to settle the Brian McBride allocation mess). There were plenty of MLS power brokers in attendence as well, including D.C. United's Will Chang, Seattle's Adrian Hanauer and Chicago Fire owner Andrew Hauptman.

I spoke to Mo before the ASG in the Rogers Club and he told me the McBride deal was done, We have a striker coming (wouldn't say a name) and another coming next week (international). Striker coming our way as part of McBride deal.

[Nuvinho]

I was in the rogers club, and saw Mo, Paul, and Tom Alsemi (sp?) looking over something on a piece of paper. Could that be something to do with the deal.

do you want someone to make up an answer for you?

[Cas87]

Okay obviously this was on ESPN, b/c it wasn't on CBC.
CBC only talked about the two expansion teams, nothing about McBride and shitcago

[sidvan]

Yeah, I saw the same thing. Lot's of Blackberry action with the three of them while huddled over this paper as well. It did look like Paul produced the paper first to show it to Anselmi

did he mention if the international was signed?

And y'all realize that chicago fans will be dancing in the streets if they managed to unload Barrett on us. Now I am going to have nigtmares lol

[profit89]

barrett sux but i'll take him over cunny.. for now

[Cas87]

I say we get and International roster spot and allocation.
Like every other deal!!!

Maybe Mo is saving the allocation money to spend on grass!
