    Whoa! Ricketts isn't cheaper. Maybe his contract is shorter? Wack! Gleason era beginning?

    This is absolutely garbage. I have not been this pissed at any sports management in a long time. I read a quote about it that was absolutely perfect "I feel like I just paid a mechanic a grand, to replace the only part of my car that wasnt broken"

    I am not sure if this trade really helped the Timbers. I'm in a mix bag on this swapping of the goalies.

    Portland's Wilkinson on 'keeper swap: "It's an upgrade"
    [​IMG]

    PORTLAND, Ore. – A mainstay starter, a veteran leader and a fan favorite.

    If the surprising trade of Portland Timbers goalkeeper Troy Perkins for Montreal’s Donovan Ricketts (above) said anything it’s this: nobody is safe as the club rebuilds in the midst of a highly disappointing season.

    “It’s an upgrade, in all honesty,” interim head coach and general manager Gavin Wilkinson said after the team’s training session Tuesday. “Troy is a fantastic person and a great goalkeeper. He was a tremendous acquisition for the club two years ago. But when you sit down and you have staff meetings and you give everyone an active voice and the unanimous decision is this is what’s right for the club, you do what’s right for the club.”
