Cristian Gomez situation finally settled?
The general consensus from the DC front (being led by super-blogger Steven Goff) is that Cristian Gomez will not be returning next year. Appaerantly he wanted DP money, and DC weren't willing to pay that (they used it on Marcelo Gallardo) for someone of his age and status. Seeing as that's the kind of money he's demanding, it looks like MLS could be losing one of it's best #10's.
DC have signed 22 year old Romanian international Banel Nicolita according to reports. He won't join until the Romanian season is over, but sounds like an excellent signing for United.
Aberdeen give Lapira a shot
Toronto draftee Joseph Lapira looks like he might have snagged up an opportunity overseas, as the 21 year old Irishman has earned a trial with Scottish club Aberdeen. Seems like Toronto's gamble won't be paying off, but props for rolling the dice and not playing the safe route.
Fredy Thompson to MLS?
Municipal and Guatemala captain Fred Thompson is being shopped around to several MLS clubs according to several rumors. San Jose and Real Salt Lake are the clubs interested it seems, and he would make a solid addition to MLS. As to what kind of money he expects, we'll have to wait and see.
In the meantime, enjoy his website, I know I did.
The Mormons add a Saint
Real Salt Lake have acquired American Ian Joy from FC St. Pauli. Can't say much about him as I've never seen him play, but should be a solid acquisition for Salt Lake.
Addlery and Nolly to Vancouver
DC United reserves Jay Nolly and Nicholas Addlery have been acquired by Vancouver Whitecaps FC of the USL-1. The USL-1 powerhouses continue to build their squad, hopefully they can build a case for an MLS squad, I'd love to see a rivalry in the Northwest.
More exports?
Will John is on trial with Randers FC of Denmark, Bouna Coundoul is rumored to be gaining interest from a "European club", and Cristian Gomez is apparently done with MLS. Should make for some good drama in the coming weeks.

Nicolita was a joke posting on BigSoccer. It was not supposed to be taken seriously.
On the other hand, DC has officially added Martinez, Peralta, Carvallo, Niell, and Gallardo. Nobody's pulling your leg on those signings.
