Conde wants out of Chicago

So much for things being patched up between Wilman Conde and the Chicago Fire. ESPN reporter Pedro Gomes reported that Wilman Conde is frustrated with his situation and wants to leave Chicago. How bad are things with Conde? Well, the Colombian defender stayed away from the team for most of the night and was nowhere to be found in the post-game celebration. He didn't set foot in the Fire locker room and essentially kept to himself before the team departed. The fact that he didn't even dress for last night's 2-0 win against D.C. United probably didn't help matters.

Wow! Conde sure knows how to endear himself to his coaches, team mates and fans, doesn't he? Let him go! The Fire don't need his royal poutiness poisoning the atmosphere in the locker room!

I'm sure being a b1tch is going to help him get another job after he is cut.

NY will sign him. He loves Osorio.

He wasnt even on the bench in their game against DC United on Thursday. This situation is not pretty.

If this was happening three months ago I would have been really concerned, but the Fire's D is doing just fine without him. We just signed Marmol, which is a good pickup. I think letting him just go back to Columbia is the best option, but the Fire dont seem interested in that option.

He will be sold to a Mexican club in the summer I bet. He is really going about this the wrong way. I mean, the transfer window is closed. Even if they wanted to move him to NY (which they never will unless it involves a DP slot or BIG BIG bucks) they couldn't until August so there is no point to him speaking out of class like this. It just devalues himself to Chicago and to prospective employers.
He's gotta realize that he isn't the lock he once was considering Marmol is on board and they've only given up 3 goals all year.
Oh and thanks for posting ANOTHER story from the RBNY PR department known as Ives Galarcep. Guy never even played soccer in his life and he's and expert. Anyone listens to him, why?

Oh! That's what it is, naxself! He misses Osorio! He misses his daddy. That makes sesne!

Well, he can sign with the Jamaican bobsledding team or join a Canadian curling club for all we care in the Windy City!
