SUMMARY: The Chicago Fire's newst signing, Alexandre Boucicaut, is using a combination of French, Spanish and English to describe just how much he wants to help out his new team. The 22-year-old Haitian international has spent the better part of the summer at Halas Hall training with the "Men in Red" on a trial basis, but is anxious to take the field for his first MLS appearance. He's ready to commit and he's even skipping his country's exhibition match this week against defending World Cup champion

"It's all good. I'm getting used to this city. I like it more each day," says Boucicaut (pronounced "Boo-ci-KOH").

This is a good opportunity for Boucicot, and our national team needs more young players in other leagues. Like JP Peguero, I think He can make the most of it. I saw him last night in the game versus Galaxy; he was in around the 70th minute, just give him some time and he will adapt.

BTW I also read he said he rejected an offer from Penarol, Uruguay in order to accept tp play for Chicago Fire instead.
