New Signings and a one cut

It has been a busy week for DC United, here are some roster changes.
Danny Szetela was signed last summer and was given much attention after some years in Europe, many believed that Danny would be a great signing. As far as I can tell it clashed with Coach Soehn and the team quickly and we hardly saw Danny on the field. Not even a new coach and Ben Olsen as a mentor could change that. Szetela was waived the 17th of March. With his 100K+ salary it will leave give us some room for new signings.

DC United announced the same day that signed Lyle Adams. The 6' 1" defender was drafted in the 2nd round in the MLS 2009 superdraft. Instead of playing in the MLS he decided to try his luck in Europe, I suspect he was unlucky in his pursuit since he spent last season with the USL team Austin Aztex. If he will add something it will at least be height to our hobbit defensive line.

Yesterday the 22nd DC United announced that they signed 17 year old Andy Najar to its roster. The 17 year old junior from Edison High School in Alexandria has been apart od DC United's youth organization with great success and has been scoring goals like crazy. The young midfielder/forward joined DC United in the preseason and played 4 games. He must have made an impression and I for one is very interested to see this kid play.
