Happy Thursday, everyone. Joe the Curmudgeon here, holding down the fort today as Dear Leader El Brucio is in Kansas City for the MLS SuperDraft and probably cleaning Oklahoma Joe's out of every last scrap of meat... Just a bit of news for today...
Minutes before the MLS SuperDraft started, news was broken by 'Designated Player' and FiF, Ives Galarcep for Fox Soccer News that Portland Timbers have sent Kenny Cooper to the New York Red Bulls for a 2013 1st round draft pick and if Cooper remains a Red Bull after 2012, allocation money. According to Ives, this leaves little room at forward for USMNT F Juan 'in a million' Agudelo, who is expected to find employ outside of MLS. More on this as it develops.

Robbie Keane to Aston Villa in loan deal
LA Galaxy forward is the latest MLS player to find a short-term loan deal, moving to Aston Villa for a few months. This will help the Ireland international star stay fit in advance of the European Championships. Keane joins fellow MLS stars in loans to the EPL: Galaxy teammate Landon Donovan (Everton) and NYRB's Thierry Henry (Arsenal). He may even play Saturday against Donovan's Everton side. Henry, meanwhile, is said to have amazed his Arsenal teammates with his training regimen. Gotta be tough to play in MLS, kiddies.
