I've stated before that Eric Alexander made the most sense for a possible trade and it now appears that that is exactly what is happening. Ives Galarcep, no stranger to getting it spot on with regards to Portland Timbers trades before they're announced, is this morning reporting that Alexander will be heading to the New York Red Bulls in exchange for a bit of allocation money.
When the Timbers acquired midfielder Eric Alexander from Dallas late in the 2011 season, it wasn't clear to a lot of fans exactly why the trade had been made. Mostly appearing as a sub during the end of the season, Alexander didn't make a big impression.
2012 started off well for Eric Alexander, as he started the first six games of the season and had three assists in that time, including both assists on Nagbe's brace against Real Salt Lake, in what turned out to be an otherwise disastrous game.
After a burst of news last month, the story concerning Houston Rockets' owner Les Alexander
buying the Dynamo went silent, but that doesn't mean the wheels weren't turning behind the
scenes.
According to separate reports from the Sporting News and the Chronicle, the deal is progressing
and couple be wrapped up within the month.
Interesting news breaking today about a potential new owner for the Houston Dynamo. According
the local Houston FOX affiliate, Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander is currently in
negotiations with the league to buy out the three partners who currently own the Dynamo.
At the moment, the Anschutz Entertainment Group are the primary owners with 50% control of the
team.

The transfer of Alexander Büttner to Manchester United had surprised lot of people. Not just fans
and football pundits but even a few managers. After all, nobody saw it coming... but that's how Sir
Alex likes to work in the transfer market. In the past few years, Sir Alex has consistently bought
in young players who shocked themselves by being bought by a club like Manchester United.
Alexander Büttner has completed his move to Manchester United after completing his medical and
agreeing personal terms, the club have announced. Büttner has signed a five-year contract which
will keep him at the club until 2017. His transfer from Vitesse Arnhem is understood to have cost
in the region of £3.
The club has announced the signing of Alexander Büttner from Vitesse Arnhem after a Dutch
newspaper broke the finalisation of the deal this morning.
"Joining Manchester United is one of the best days of my life," said the player.
"It's a team I have admired for many years now and I can't wait to join my teammates and play
my part in helping the club be successful.

Over the weekend, Sir Alex Ferguson promised another signing before the transfer window closed. And

According to reports United are close to securing the services of Vitesse Arnhem's Dutch leftback,
Alexander Buttner. With Patrice Evra suffering an irrational loss of form last season, Fabio moving

arriving was not unlikely, Buttner may be the [.
Manchester United have apparently agreed to sign Alexander Büttner today from Dutch side
Vitesse Arnhem, with a medical scheduled to take place tomorrow. You may recognise the name because
he was in the news last month after agreeing to join Southampton. However, a third party ownership

Well here is the last bastion of hope for any hardware this season and hopefully Portland can
play the role of spoiler for the rest of the season. For those of you who don't remember the
standings for the Cascadia Cup head here. The question I have been thinking about is can Portland
do something it hasn't done since July 3rd?
Dutch paper, Omroep Gelderland, has printed pictures of Alexander Büttner with a Manchester
United shirt after signing a five-year-deal with the club, although the official site has yet to
confirm anything. He is set to be unveiled in front of the press on Friday.
"PICTURE: Alexander Büttner Signs For United" was originally published at
The Republik of Mancunia.
