Chivas USA announced Wednesday that it has traded forward Alecko
Eskandarian to the Los Angeles Galaxy for allocation money and a
conditional pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft.

"This move allows us greater flexibility in terms of our roster and
salary budget," said Chivas USA head coach Preki in a statement. "We
would like to thank Alecko for his contributions to our club. We wish
him the best."

The 26-year-old Eskandarian is becoming something of an MLS journeyman
as the Galaxy will be his fifth club in six years. The move follows
three seasons as a D.C. United player, one split between Toronto FC
and Real Salt Lake, and a season-and-a-half with Chivas.

A native of Montvale, N.J., Eskandarian has scored 28 goals in his MLS
career and has also been capped by the U.S. national team on one
occasion.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
