Chris Pontius Signs A New Contract

Read on Goff's blog that Pontius signed a new contract. Pontius was my favorite player last year and got called up to the national teams training camp earlier this year and again this past week. The are no details released about the contract but I assume that they ended up paying him more that the 36 000 dollars he got last year and hopefully they signed for at least 2 years, with options.

DC United Acquires A New Forward Adam Christman

DC United announced yesterday that the acquired Forward Adam Christman from Kansas City Wizards. We gave the wizards a foreign player spot for 2 years to get him. He will now compete with Allsopp, Pontius and Moreno to take a spot in the starting XI. He was nominated to rookie of the year 2007. He is 6' tall and a 180 pounds so maybe he will add some presence in the box which we haven't had for years. He hasn't scored a lot of goals during his career so far, but at 25 years old he still have plenty of time to do that. Am I excited about the signing, not much but at least we got another forward on the rooster.

Unfortunately I have to report...

..that DC United just announced that they re-signed Jaime Moreno and without giving any details in the announcement we can all assume that we yet again over paid for him. He will at least land in the mid 200' hundreds and for a player that hardly lasts 30 minutes at best I don't even know why our new coach would agree to this.

Also heard that Gomez is pretty much out of the picture and will not return
