Big news/rumor on the Designated Player front for D.C. United this morning is that the Black-and-Red are set to sign Ukrainian international and former Chelsea and A.C. Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko. Football journalist Ashley Gray (@AshleyGray) posted on Twitter this morning:
"I hear Andriy Shevchenko has agreed to join DC United in the MLS. Nothing official yet, though."
The story has garnered some attention from Steve Davis of ProsSoccerTalk as well: European correspondent: Shevchenko moving to D.C. United. Only time will tell if this is meerly another transfer window rumor of a former European star coming to MLS or a good lead.
Do you think United would be smart to add Shevchenko? Does the former Milan striker (127 goals/226 apprearances) fill a current need for United? Which current D.C. United DP would you trade for the ability to sign Shevchenko?
