McBride To Chicago Fire?

Fire's Striking Talent Sky Sports is reporting that the Chicago Fire are keen to sign 34 year old Brian McBride. McBride's contract with Fulham runs out at the end of the season. Chicago's coach Dave Sarachan thinks that Chicago can offer McBride and his wife some of the intangibles that England can not. The question is, who would the Fire have to move to make the deal happen? They're already playing Jaqua out of position on the right of the midfield. Chad Barrett, Chris Rolfe, Andy Herron and rookie Calen Carr are all competing for spots up top. If McBride's taking serious the idea of moving back to the US and looking to move to Chicago, Chicago's going to be seroius about making some trades to move one or two of those guys out the door.
