Preston Burpo to Colorado


Looks like the first "big trade" has happened in the MLS this year. In a report by Soccer 365, Burpo is headed to Colorado in exchange for Kelly Gray and Jovan Kirovski. Does this mean Bouna time in Colorado is over? It might be or why else would the Rapids deal for a keeper at this stage in the season, because they want a good backup. I don't think so, I wouldn't be too surprised to see Burpo in the lineup for the Rapids this weekend. On the other end of the deal Yallop has finally decided to try something new bringing in some type of attacking options. Kirovski is a decent forward, but still I just don't see it from him. In my eyes San Jose is quick becoming the breeding ground for strikers that never panned out with Kirovski and Kamara up top. In Kelly Gray the Quakes get a quality utility player who can help out wherever he might need. Gray the only surviving member of the Galaxy class that was waived by Gullit after he took over. What do you think about this trade? What team wins in this deal?
