Yes Fire fans, Mr. ESPN is leaving the Fire in the January transfer window. So for those of you
who hate soap operas, I'm sorry. As the Chicago Fire World Turns will continue on and I'm
sure that the drama will be top notch.

Segares, Conde and even Dennis Hamlett.
According to a Goal.com report, Fire forward Chris Rolfe is set to leave Chicago in January to
join Danish Club Aalborg (or Aab, as they are more commonly known) on a free transfer. "I'm very
excited, as I think Aalborg is as well," Rolfe told Goal.com. "It's a new opportunity and something
I've always wanted to do.
This move could very well be the start of a long winter for the Chicago Fire. Goal.com is
reporting that striker Chris Rolfe has agreed to sign with Danish side Aalborg and will come on a
free-transfer this winter to the club.
"I'm very excited, as I think Aalborg is as well," Rolfe told Goal.
