Goal.com Reporting Chhetri to KC Done Deal

Last night I posted how Sunil Chhetri was on his way to, if not already in, Kansas City with eyes toward signing a contract with the club. Thad at The Back Post is reporting that Chhetri's presence in KC is for a formal tryout, but also speculates that it's just a formality. And Goal.com seems to be agreeing with that speculation as this morning they are reporting that Chhetri is set to sign with the Wizards. They say that an official announcement should come on Thursday after the player has passed a medical and had his P-1 Visa approved. There will apparently be a video conference for the Indian media after the announcement. If all this get finalized, it looks like the Wizards could be getting a lot more fans from the second most populated country in the world.

The Wizards are looking like a cross between the UN and The Magnificent Seven (Eleven, in this case) - I'm hopeful it's An International Coalition of the Winning!

adding talent is never a bad thing

I dont know what these national writers are looking at in their projections but I find it unlikely that we will not be improved from last year

Totally Agree, They have not seen the team play, and anyone who has seen them in person thinks differently. Practice Games, yes, much improved regardless of the opponents.

So does another roster spot need to be vacated?

anon2-

yep

Mike- are full on international roster spots or could the cut be 'Merican?

I'm pretty sure we are full on international spots. At this point I think Smith or Aiyegbusi, or one of our internationals counts as an American. But I think we'll see something happen to one of our internationals. I had wanted to ask this of Vermes but I wasn't able to make media day.
