<p>Earlier this evening, Dynamo midfielder <span>Lovel Palmer</span> tweeted “I’m going green.” The tweet has since been deleted, however, the reference still holds that Palmer (and Chabala) could be going to either the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stumptownfooty.com/">Portland Timbers</a> or <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.sounderatheart.com/">Seattle Sounders</a>.</p>
<p>There have also been some rumblings over the past few weeks that Seattle Sounders forward <span>Nate Jaqua</span> could make a return to Houston. Also, earlier today it was rumored that Seattle Sounders forward Mike Fucito could be out of favor with Sigi Schmidt, and could be a possible target for the Dynamo.</p>

<p>It's time for another fantastic round of everyone's favorite game, Somewhat Unsubstantiated Rumors!</p>
<p>I'm hearing rumors and rumblings that <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.dynamotheory.com/">Houston Dynamo</a> midfielder and former Jamaican international <span>Lovel Palmer</span> as well as defender <span>Mike Chabala</span> are headed to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stumptownfooty.com/">Portland Timbers</a> in exchange for a not-yet-named player. Given that Houston is in need of either a center-attacking midfielder or a forward, a player like <span>Kenny Cooper</span> could be on the move from Portland. </p>
<p>More information will be shared as soon as it is received.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle just tweeted the following: </p>
<blockquote>
<p>@Chabala17 and @palmerboy22 out of lineup. Hearing they've been traded, but Chris Canetti will only say announcement will be made tomorrow</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Looks like the rumors are true but we won't know more until tomorrow's announcement.</p>
