DCU News: Payne Talks, Soehn Waits, Players (Move?)
By: jon |As always, Mr. Unprecedented Access, Steve Goff, has a sit down with Kevin Payne and Tom Soehn over on his blog. Some big quotes…
“We don’t want to play like Colorado or New England, which most of the season sat with eight or nine guys behind the ball. How many people go to watch Colorado [...]
Rumors: Both believable, one upsetting
By: jon |Take it for what it’s worth, but Yahoo has Bryan Namoff on the way out (I’d imagine after the season’s over) to the Greek league. As Namoff has become the absolute stalwart of the defense, the team would have a hard time replacing him. However, for Bryan, you’d have to understand the move [...]
Hamid Signs With DC United
By: jon |As originally reported here (in The Offside’s First official scoop), Bill Hamid, Annandale native and academy product, has signed with MLS and will be on DCU’s roster as the third goalkeeper. As a result of this and other additions like Shipalane, Habarugira, and James, someone on the current roster will have to be cut.
Based [...]
Roster Moves, Toronto Pre Game, CCL
By: jon |A busy day at Offside HQ, and whole boat load of stuff to talk about. Strap in.
- First and foremost, roster moves. The long rumored, and now finally finalized move for David Habaruguira, defender from Anderlecht in the Netherlands. He had throughly impressed Tom Soehn, enough that he had this to say, [...]
SOURCE: United to sign U19 Bill Hamid to Pro Deal
By: jon |I’m hearing DCU will soon be signing DCU Academy keeper, Bill Hamid, to a contract. There is currently one open spot, but I have a feeling with N’Silu’s recent performances, there could be two in the near future. David Habarugira from Feyenoord will most likely take one of the spots, and I imagine [...]
Exclusive: Ben Olsen to retire before the season ends (Maybe)
By: jon |I got in trouble that last time I posted something unconfirmed, but under my new charter of “being unofficial, being irresponsible, and being the first to report stuff”, I’ll give it a go anyway.
I just heard from my source (the same one that said the Real Madrid was confirmed, and then it was later on [...]
Post Game: DC United 0, RSL 0
By: jon |Like kissing your sister, as long as your sister isn’t hot, or a good kisser.
The thing you’ll hear most from any reports you’re bound to read about this match is that Josh Wicks did well, and RSL bunkered. Honestly, that’s about all I could tell you about it, too. DC started [...]
Avery John signs on, Doe showed the door
By: Chris Pavlakos |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. [...]
Gomez returns, and the natives are restless
By: jon |According to Goff, a trade has transpired that has sent Christian Gomez back to DC, in exchange for a DP slot, Ivan Guerrero, and a draft pick. DC also gets an international spot, and a 4th string goalie who will never ever play.
Snap judgement?
I’m with everyone, I think. This is a move backwards. [...]
Gallardo looking for the exit, UPDATE: He found it
By: jon |Well, the jersey curse of Jon Hoffman strikes again. Or is about to strike again.
This summer, I bought a Shevchenko jersey, because I love that underachieving Ukranian. The day after I got it, he was off to AC Milan.
In the great jersey sale of DCUTEAMSTORE.com, I got a Gallardo jersey for Christmas from [...]
