Avery John signs on, Doe showed the door

By: Chris Pavlakos | April 24th, 2009
   


The rumor was flying around last week and now its official. Avery John has been added to DC United and Francis Doe has been shown the door to free up a roster spot. Goff broke the news yesterday on his blog over on wapo.com. Nobody was sure who would go to make room for John. It was basically down to Boyzz Khumalo and Francis Doe. Doe won– err lost the bid and is off the team. To me the biggest factor is his $80,000 salary (quite high for a seldom-used reserve) and that Doe is only a striker and Khumalo can play as a striker and out on the wing. I wonder what kind of salary the 33 year old Ghana international will demand?

The Deal
Avery John to DC United
Conditional Draft Pick to NE Revolution
Francis Doe to the unemployment office

    Don’t you mean $80,000 and $75,000, respectively?
