DC United get Argentine Franco Niell
It has been a little over a month since Juan Sebastian Veron turned DC United down, but the team ended up with an Argentine anyway as they have signed 5' 4", 145 pound forward Franco Niell (and people thought Adu was small).
But don't let his size throw you, the talent he has with his feet should be enough to cause some serious pain for defenders.
It also looks like this is the first of three South American signings coming in the near future as Colombian defender Gonzalo Martinez and Peruvian goalkeeper Jose Carvallo are scheduled to be in DC within the next week.
He is coming to MLS from Argentinos Juniors. During his time with the first-division club, he scored 10 goals in 60 caps.
I have a feeling Niell is going to bring some very fun ball movement to DC and the league.
