This trade is nothing but good news. Larentowicz is a quality midfielder who could provide the distributive spark the team needs with more toughness than Ballouchy has shown. Wells will bring some depth and some possible quality starts. This is the sort of trade that only adds to the team. I'm sorry to see Burpo go. He was a great guy and provided some great quotes. However, he was the backup goalkeeper. There are other backup goalkeepers available. It's too bad the Rapids are having to pay another team to take a player in Gibbs. Still, he seemed overpriced and past his use by date during the 2009 season. I don't think he will be missed. Overall, this was a great trade. Now the Peterson trade makes sense!
