DC United scored the highest-profile acquisition of the MLS off-season by signing former Argentina midfielder Marcelo Gallardo. (Actually, the contract was signed yesterday; he was introduced to the press today.) He's not the player he was in the late 1990s/early 2000s when he starred for Monaco, but he still has more than enough skills in midfield to become successful in MLS. It more than makes up for not being able to sign Juan Sebastián Verón.
Unfortunately Gallardo's arrival means that Christián Gómez's days with DCU are over. Gomito has served the club very well; it's a shame that they weren't able to win any trophies during his stay. It would be nice to see him stay in the league (preferably a Western side), but his salary demands will it very difficult for a MLS club to acquire him.
Gomito got his share of silverware with us: 1 MLS Cup (2004) and 2 Supporter's Shields (2006 and 2007). That's not a bad haul.
