carvallo Stories - Black And Red United
International update
Looks like our acquisition of Gonzalo Martinez is just about official, and that Said Godinez is probably not heading to the nation's capitol. Nothing further yet on Carvallo. But this is developing quite nicely. Assuming we re-sign Vanney, we might see a rotation of three guys at center back again...

With all the excitement surrounding the international signings of Gonzalo Martinez, Franco Niell, and Jose Carvallo, it would be easy for us to overlook the drafts that United has participated in the past couple of weeks. So this will be the first in a series of posts taking a look at the players...
Gonzalo Martinez, Jose Carvallo, Said Godinez
Wow. What a crazy week this has been.Today we've got THREE new rumors about Spanish-speaking players possibly coming to DC United. I said in a previous post that we can take advantage of the new/revised foreign player rules by acquiring 3 or 4 mid-salary foreign talents. We've got the cap space,...
Time for another roster analysis
I came up with most of this while standing in line outside in 20 degree weather for two hours to see Barack Obama speak in College Park yesterday (well worth it).Major League Soccer is probably unlike any other league in the world that I can think of in its limitation of foreign players and players...

3 goals by 3 rookies
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format --> The United Reserves fought back from a 2-0 deficit early in the second half to earn a 3-2 victory this morning at the RFK training grounds. Sitting out there for two hours, my arms are definitely sunburnt. Check out behindthebadge.com for the full match...
Should they stay or should they go?
With the July 1st salary guarantee date looming just a week away, that is the question that we ask about two players: Jose Carvallo and Franco Niell. Both were brought to this country in the offseason that saw the additions of five new South American players. Three of those players (Gallardo and...
Open for business
With United's Open Cup debut scheduled for tomorrow evening at the Maryland SoccerPlex, the coaching staff has some really interesting roster decisions to make. Last year, United took a Harrisburg Islanders squad way too lightly, and supposedly have learned their lesson. Even though the Rochester...
Mid-Season Review part 1: Acquisitions

In part 1, we will look at United's acquisitions, meaning the players that the team added since the end of...
