For reference, while the press releases say Habarugira was signed from Anderlecht, it turns out he was playing for Pyunik Yerevan in 2008-09.
Crew to sign Venezuelan striker Emilio Renteria: http://blog.dispatch.com/crew/2009/08/renteria_in_the_fold.shtml
It's a done deal in Crewland with Renteria, though he says his best position is AM. http://blog.dispatch.com/crew/

http://web.mlsnet.com/news/team_new...nt_id=6544264&vkey=pr_cdc&fext=.jsp&team=t120 Maicon Santos on loan to Chivas USA
BTW, I don't know how many of you noticed this, but Chivas now has 31 freaking players on their roster. That's because they have 7 guys on the DL.
The CUSA board certainly thinks so. I tend to think that they know more about their team than fans of other teams. Maybe they're just confused or don't understand different MLS roster rules?
I'll take the fact that there hasn't been anything reported (or no press release from the club) over a post on BigSoccer with no source. http://news.google.com/news/search?pz=1&ned=us&hl=en&q="Lawson+Vaughn"
Will Lawson's facebook page serve as confirmation? This was posted on Thursday afternoon. Lawson Vaughn I am no longer a chivas usa player. I wish my teammates luck the rest of the season. Also, thank you to all of the chivas usa fans. My time was good for the most part. Now, onto another challenge and chapter. Looking forward.
He's still on the DL, so he could easily remain on the roster the rest of the year even if they part ways.

Press release just went out via email from Dallas. Ugo Ihemelu to Dallas Drew Moor, 2nd round 2010 Superdraft pick, and allocation money to Colorado
Wow, that's crazy. Schellas got his SMU guy. I think Moor for Ihemelu straight up is not a great trade, but to throw in the extra stuff... FCD fans will now hate Schellas more than ever, I'm sure.
