Philadelphia Union
Sebastien Le Toux tweets, "Just got traded to Vancouver ! Saddest day for me in my Philadelphia
Union story.... Still can't believe it"
The Union host Vancouver Whitecaps on March 31.
Take a look at Adam Cann's roundup of the evolution of Sebastien Le Toux to Vancouver rumors for
links, but to summarize, the Union appear to be trading Le Toux to Vancouver for allocation
money.
On Monday, the Portland Timbers announced the signing of Scottish striker Kris Boyd, the
all-time leading scorer of the Scottish Premier League, with 164 goals in 296 matches.
The deal was completed pending the completion of a team physical and receipt of his visa.
The 28-year old forward appeared for Kilmarnock FC from 2000-05 before joining Rangers FC midway
through the 2005-06 season.
Last day of the transfer window makes for a fun day.
Two big(ish) points of news on this Monday afternoon.
1. The Portland Timbers have signed their third DP, Scottish striker Kris Boyd. A big stinkin'
signing.
2. Faryd Mondragon has left Philadelphia to return to Colombia. Union now down to one keeper in
Zac MacMath.
Silly season continues to go on around the world, and today Sporting KC was named in the silliness.
Sky Sports is reporting that the "Kansas City Wizards" are interested in Scottish international
striker, Kris Boyd. The 28 year old striker was most recently with Eskisehirsqor in Turkey, where
he recently had his contract canceled.
The defending Eastern Conference champion Dynamo began preseason camp for the first time in
franchise history without the services of club icon Brian Ching and Eddie Robinson. It was
definitely odd not to see those important players running around. Speaking of forwards, the Dynamo
are still trying to lure a veteran forward in Great Britain [.

Philadelphia Union
Tweet from SBI: "I'm told Philadelphia Union midfielder Michael Farfan will be heading to
England for a training stint with Premier League side Sunderland." As of this writing, we are
waiting for confirmation from the Union about this report.
For Tony Mowbray, it must be frustrating to see Kris Boyd and Scott McDonald fail to live up to
their reputations of once free-scoring SPL strikers at their previous clubs Rangers and Celtic
respectively. It just shows that the transition from Scottish football to English football is much
harder than first thought especially from the Scottish Premier League to the Championship.
