Just days after selling Tim Ream to Bolton, the New York Red Bulls have secured the services of
his replacement, signing Colombian centerback Wilman Conde after making a trade with the Chicago

The Red Bulls dealt allocation money (which one source put at $150,000) to the Fire for the
chance to sign Conde, who returns to MLS after spending 2011 in Mexico with Atlas.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - If there was a list of Americans players abroad off to hot starts this
season, DaMarcus Beasley would surely be near the top.
For the first time in years, Beasley has begun his club season in good form.

this news from Mexico. All translations are by yours truly.
After several weeks of back-and-forth rumors out of Mexico linking Carlos "El Pescadito" Ruiz
with a move to the Tiburones Rojos of Veracruz, the Mexican second division club's head coach
Daniel Guzman has finally put an end to the saga.
US National Team midfielder DaMarcus Beasley has completed a move to Mexican Primera Division club
Puebla. Beasley trained with the club in recent weeks. He joins the club from Hannover 96, where he
had four appearances last season.
