No More Peralta


Peralta had a 200K contract and DC United has decided not to exercise the option with him. I know he has been getting a lot of crap, but I liked him and with all the injuries last year he was one of the players I missed the most. He might not have been the fastest player we had, but he was our only guy who could actually win a header and he wouldn't be pushed around, he did not make any major mistakes. After Namhoff I think he was our most solid player in the defense.

I don't think he was worth 200K a year but considering how bad our defense was last year, we need any defensive player we can get. No word on replacement yet but they better start hunting.
Only players that have signed on so far in the defense is Greg Janicki and Marc Burch and that is not looking very promising for the upcoming season.

Peralta is going back to Argentina to play for some division 2 team. Good luck to you Peralta.
