DC United Sign Stephen King, Juan Manuel Peña Hamstring


DC United signed Stephen King a midfielder and bench warmer from Seattle Sounders. The bad news is that he was a bench warmer. The good news is that we only had to pay with a second round draft spot in the 2011 draft.

Juan Manuel Pena has recovered from his hamstring and trained for full according to himself he is ready to play against the Red Bulls.

Luci Is Back!

On Wednesday DC United announced that the have signed a 3 month deal with Emilio Luciano. Luci was released by DC United after last years season. Luci went Brazil and when the season was finished he has been looking into getting back and play in the MLS. I think it is a good signing and hopefully between Luci, Najar, Christman they can keep Moreno from being a starter.
There is a small possibility that Luci might be ready for the game against the Pink Cows on Saturday.
