DC United Signs Floribert N'Galula

A 22 year old guy from the Democratic Republic of Congo, he is a Midfielder/Central Defender vame up through Anderlecht youth system and was then a part of Manchester United. I have not found much information on him but there are some more reading on Goff's Blog and Behind The Badge.

I really like the fact that they are starting to sign some decent young player and hope that they will actually play them.

Cristian Castillo has arrived!



Our new signing El Salvadorian Cristian Castillo has arrived and was yesterday introduced. DC United is looking to Castillo to be our new Marquee name. Read What Charles Boehm wrote on MLSnet.com.

Check out the the video of the introduction.

DC United Signs Striker Daniel Allsopp

Just saw the news on DC United's homepage, they signed 31 year old Austrailian Striker Daniel Allsopp, he actually looks pretty decent but I have my doubts he will score as much as Luci. He has played in England, Australia, Qatar and he has scored a decent amount of goals over the years.

Troy Perkins Back To DC United?

There have been rumors this week that Troy Perkins is leaving VĂ¥lerenga and Norway to come back to the US.
This morning Goff tweeted that this is confirmed. Troy posted a letter to VĂ¥lerenga fans on their website saying that he is leaving due to family issues, but as we all know Norwegians are crazy so I am surprised that he stayed for so long. I never been to Norway but I flew over the country several times and felt uneasy every time :).


Anyway Goff also reports that his people is working hard to get him back to DC United, read more in Goff's article. In the same article he also mention that Moreno might go to play for a Bolivian team in the off season.

Luciano Emilio and Ange N'Silu Gone!

I received a twitter saying that forward Ange N'Silu has been released by DC United I have not seen anything official regarding this yet.

Also our forward http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luciano_Emilio became a free agent when DC United decided against exercising the option in his contract, they did offer him a new contract but Luci went home to Brazil to find a deal and now he signed a 6 month contract with Rio Branco.

We all remember his Hat Trick against the Pink Cows.


Check out Luci's goals made for DC United here.

I wish Emilio the best and hope he continues to score goals.

I also hope our new coach starts to look around for new forwards because right now we have nothing.

Fred, Gomez, Olsen, Moreno Status

Damn it is cold out there fortunately we are getting news daily that will keep us warm and excited for the coming season.
Goff wrote today that Jaime Moreno is looking for a club to play for during the winter break he said "I'm going to be 36 and I need to be moving," I agree for the past 3-5 years I have been saying that he needs to be moving.

Goff also got confirmed that DC United exercised the option in Fred's contract, he will be with us next season.

Now DC United did not exercise the option in Gomez contract and will start negotiations next week to try to sign him with a new contract.


Our new coach Curt Onalfo should within a couple of days announce his staff, Goff think is is likely that Ben Olsen will be apart of the staff.

Meet The Boss, Emilio and more

As you probably have heard by now we have a new manager in Curt Onalfo, tonight he meets up with us fans at Black Finn, 1620 I Street, NW, Washington, DC between 6 and 8 pm.

As we already heard DC United decided not to exercise the option in his contract and Emilio is a free agent according to Goff he is looking for opportunities in his home country Brazil. DC United has offered him a contract with less pay.

The loan of Christian Castillo is finalized you got to check out the video below he looks like a very exciting player.

Goff also reports that DC United is looking in to getting Julio Martinez another young player, plays the right wing. He would as far as I understand also be a loner from Leon.

Now Check out Christian Castillo;
