Higuain Transfer Fee Reportedly $650,000

Ryan Kozlowski at Crewture.com dug up an article from Argentina that said the Crew paid over half a million dollars in transfer fees for Federico Higuain. That is certainly out of the norm of the Crew, given most of their recent signings have been free transfers.

As for the veracity of the information, it's tough to get information out of MLS about the business side and Argentine sports papers can be unreliable, but this came from a business magazine. I'd say there is a fair amount of truth behind the figure.

Crew Presenting Pride Night on Aug. 25th

Even with some of the furious debates swirling through the body politic, the Crew are again working to outreach to the GLBT community. The team held Pride Cup and an event at a home game in July 2011. Pride Cup isn't returning, but they are advertising a group ticket deal for those interested in attending the game.

This is one of many community specific focused events the team has held this year. The team had Military Appreciation Night in June.

Later this year, the club has a Faith and Family Night is on September 1st. Hispanic Heritage Night is again when Chivas USA comes to town, on September 19th.

Wil Trapp Heads to Northern Ireland

Midfielder Wil Trapp has been a Crew Academy player to keep an eye on for a while. He is a standout underclassman prospect at Akron and has played for just about every U.S. youth team there is. He will head to Northern Ireland to play in the Milk Cup with the U-20's.

He's probably the most exciting Crew Homegrown prospect and well worth watching.
