The Timbers traded away Futty Danso (who just last week played in his 100th match for the Timbers going back to 2009) to Montreal for a draft pick.

Futty had been the longest tenured Timber, so it is sad to see him go. He was never a star but shined pretty much every time he was given a chance. A friend of mine wronte this piece on him:

That move could be because... the Timbers are rumored to have made an offer to Joleon Lescott who is out of contract right now.
