DVB requested the trade. He is dealing with some unknown, or unpublished, issues in his family, and a move to Dallas would make his life that much easier. It was a no other option move.

why we get trade Van der Berg in the first time? We need him back…

Well, thankfully for us the draft picks are for 2010 and 2011, which means Osorio will probably not be around to waste them on even more totally useless players he can loan to USL clubs for a week in order to keep them from, I dunno, getting the bench too warm or providing 90 minutes of comic relief. Sigh.

AT – not hating. But to use an Osorio line, if they show promise in the time they are given, then they will see playing time. Oduro, in his spot chances, never shined.

The argument can also be made that he was starting to rust on the bench, and could never be effective in live game situations – and argument I firmly believe. But for the Bulls to get two picks for a player that doesn’t fit their plans, that is an accomplishment. Especially in this league.

Everyone on here and redbullsreader.com keep going on and on about how ineffective he was but the guy only played 10% of 11 games.

He was never given a chance to really play to see his potential. Most ppl up here don’t know much about him but in Texas they do especially Houston.

If they were willing to give up two top draft picks for him that should tell everyone something. This guy has talent.

I for one am glad that this trade happened, Osorio is an moron who didn’t want to bench Angel to give Oduro a chance to play.

So when he plays in Houston and does well you all will see what you lost. A player with lots of potential.
Hope Red bulls could start winning. HATERS

I feel the same way Matt. Its a shame that he fell so far short of expectations. Ce la vie.

I think we got a lot for a bench player who basically did nothing for us. So, not a terrible deal but it all depends on what they do with that open roster spot and the draft picks.
