Reports today from ESPNFC.com suggest that Columbus Crew SC fans have seen the last of the forward the club acquired last fall, or at least the last of him in the black and gold.
Jeff Carlisle reports that Crew SC are set to trade McInerney's rights to the MLS Cup Champion Portland Timbers in exchange for allocation money. Carlisle's source did not specify whether the funds would be regular allocation money or targeted allocation money, funds that can only be used to sign a player earning more than the maximum salary budget charge.
