Christian Gomez ... a Wizard?

OK, so the Wizards deal Yura Movsisyan to Real Salt Lake for part of the Freddy Adu allocation and two draft picks. Now D.C. United is reportedly going to bring in midfielder Juan Sebastián Veron.

Veron plays the same position as Christian Gomez. The Wizards midfield could use a boost. Gomez is an Argentine. The Wizards have a couple of Argentines on the roster. The Wizards now have more money (thanks to allocation) and picks that they could deal. Is there a link? Or is this just a crazy thought?

Not a bad idea, he's a great player at this level. What do you do with Marinelli?

Onalfo didn't coach Gomez last year. Onalfo was an assistant at the National Team, not D.C. United.

Could it happen? Yes. But not because "Gomez's assistant coach last year was Curt Onalfo," because he wasn't. Onalfo was a coach at D.C. at one time, but he joined the coaching staff with the national team two years before Gomez arrived in D.C.


Pete, you've had problems with fact-checking in the past, but this was an easy one. Not sure how you managed to mess this one up.
