Philadelphia Union not done making big moves yet
But the interesting bit of news surrounds Le Toux. Sources tell the Daily News that the Frenchman rejected his chance at English Premier League club Bolton and left the trial early to return home.
This news appears to supplant the words of Bolton manager Owen Coyle, who recently told reporters in England: “Sébastien came in for a couple of days, and to be fair to him he hadn’t trained for four or five weeks. He did fine and that’s where it is. We’d have probably needed a longer look.”

With all that said, we hear that Le Toux is still being shopped, and perhaps to an MLS bidder. Daily Mirror writer Alan Nixon, who kept eye on Le Toux’s trial spell, posted on his Twitter site Monday evening that the Vancouver Whitecaps have showed interest in the 28-year-old Frenchman.————————
Now for the big twist in Le Toux and Mondragón potentially leaving Philadelphia. The Daily News has learned that those moves could free up enough space for the Union to officially announce that they have have purchased - or at least intend to officially purchase - the contract rights of midfielder Roger Torres.
I just don’t know what’s going on with my Union. Losing both Mondragon AND Le Toux. That sounds like… a terrible idea. I’m trying not to lose faith here, but I’m getting really worried.
