Another trade to discuss. San Jose Earthquakes have sent forward Jovan Kirvoski to the LA Galaxy.

Details are still coming down about the trade, once I hear what they are I will pass it along to you. My bet he is in exchange for a late round draft pick or just plain ol’ allocation.

UPDATE: Kirvoski was traded for a conditional pick in the 2010 Supplemental Draft. Nothing like a conditional pick in a draft that will be no more in a few years.

Talk about a trade that was hardly mentioned. While digging around for another story today I came across this article on MLSnet. Apparently we all missed this trade on Wednesday as San Jose sent veteran back-up keeper Preston Burpo and a 2009 fourth round SuperDraft pick to Colorado for Jovan Kirovski and Kelly Gray.

A big swing of a deal really if you ask me for both sides. Colorado is expected to lose keeper Bouna Coundoul for a little bit of time this summer (probably national team duty) and their current back-up is injured. Burpo has the experience to step in when needed.

Though Kirovski isn’t the same player he was a few years back he does bring some veteran leadership to San Jose’s attacking core that is very young right now. I also like the deal for Kelly Grey, a very underrated defender who has bounced around a little bit over the last year.

Even though this deal passed most of us by, I must say I think its a pretty fair deal. Both sides improve certain areas in terms of depth and each player involved should see action on the field before long.
