There are few times in a players career that they walk into a GM’s office and ask for a trade. Something either really terrible has happened in their life or something terrible has happened within the team. For Chicago Fire’s William Conde it may be as simple as a Man Crush.

After leaving Colombia’s Millonarios to sign with Profy Juan Carlos Osorio’s Fire, Conde became an important clog in Chicago’s back three and in a defensive midfield tandem with Chris Armas. Fast forward to 2008 pre-season camp and the Fire have lost both Osorio and Armas, and Conde is coming out publicly with his desire to join the NY Red Bulls and Osorio again. The problem is with Armas retiring and the trade of Jim Curtin to Chivas USA, it’s gonna talk A LOT to pry Conde away from new head coach Denis Hamlett and President/Gm John Guppy.
