MLS Goes Nuts (In A Good Way)

The international signings are coming fast and furious...but why couldn't these be dome on the January signing window? hmmm...

Aston Villa's club-record signing Juan Pablo Angel is on the verge of completing a move to the New York Red Bulls.

Former Queens Park Rangers striker Danny Dichio has joined Toronto FC of MLS.

Guillermo Barros Schelotto is on his way to Major League Soccer. The Argentine superstar will join the Columbus Crew on a one-year deal that will be announced on Tuesday, according to his representative.

Of course a lot will have to be seen before we can say how good these moves are, but from a notoriety perspective it sure makes DC United's signing seem a little pedestrian (to say the least.) Toronto and New York pluck players from England, Columbus gets a player from the Argentine league, and United raids the Honduran and Australian leagues. Just doesn't have the same sort of impact does it?
