Great Dane

In the continuing effort to create a squad that will compete for the 2010 BSL championship, the St. Louis Cure made its first trade of the season. The deal completed today will send Union midfielder Fred to the New York Greeks in exchange for the Jamaican Dane Richards. GM/Coach Kirk Lodes, "You can never be complacent. After noticing Richards was available, I quickly went to work organizing a deal. We regret parting with Fred, but the truth is he is playing deeper in the midfield for Philadelphia, which lessons his scoring chances. Dane, on the other hand, a player I've coveted for some time, is a dynamic winger; his stunning speed often turns him into a third striker. Which, naturally, means more scoring opportunities. I can't wait to see Dane in a Cure uniform." Richards will be available for Saturday's contest against the Suns.
