Franck Songo'o

A Houston Dynamo training update has revealed that Franck Songo'o is no longer with the club. Had the Texans decided to sign him, the Timbers would have been owed compensation for his rights.

The Houston Dynamo will face the Chicago Fire, Vancouver Whitecaps, and USL's Charleston Battery in the 2013 Carolina Challenge Cup.

The Dynamo will spend the next week participating in the Desert Friendlies hosted by FC Tucson of the PDL.

The creative forward was often the drive that kept fans in the game when all others seemed to have given up hope. He will surely be missed in 2013.

Franck Songo'o set the twitterverse ablaze with tweet which could be interpreted as a goodbye tweet.

The creative forward came on after being on trial for a few weeks and left an indelible impression on the 2012 squad as a player who just wouldn't give up.

Sporting KC shores up an already stout defense with the youngster from Cameroon.

Songo'o will join the Indomitable Lions in their friendly against Albania on November 14.

By all rights the not-quite-last place Timbers should be happy with a road draw against the top team in the league, but last night's tie against the San Jose Earthquakes felt like a loss. We give our picks for Man of the Match, come vote on yours.

The Timbers continue their giant-killer reputation at Jeld-Wen after knocking off the San Jose Earthquakes last night. With outstanding performances across the field, the Stumptown Footy editors pick their Man of the Match.
