Reds Trade Silva To D.C.
Luis Silva made 54 appearances, scoring seven goals across MLS & cup matches.  Toronto FC announced Tuesday that the club has acquired allocation money from D.C. United in exchange for midfielder Luis Silva. “Luis Silva is a fine player and an outstanding young man and this was a tough decision. But we are bringing in new attacking talent this window and Luis' playing time would likely suffer,” said Toronto FC President and General Manager Kevin Payne. “This move helps give us more flexibility now and for the future. We wish Luis nothing but the best.” Silva, 24, was originally selected fourth overall in the 2012 MLS Entry Draft from the University of California Santa Barbara. He made 54 combined appearances, scoring seven goals across MLS league play, CONCACAF Champions League, and the Amway Canadian Championship. www.reddit.com/tb/1hxtld

DC United send international roster spot to Montreal Impact for veteran midfielder Davy Arnaud D.C. United's young midfielders have a new mentor, one who knows Major League Soccer back to front. On Tuesday, the Montreal Impact announced they had traded club captain Davy Arnaud to United in exchange for an international roster spot during the 2014 and 2015 seasons. Last season, his second as Montreal's captain, Arnaud scored one goal and added five assists in 24 games, but salary cap implications forced the Quebec club to move a player who had been with the club since they entered MLS in 2011. "It was going to be challenging for us to bring Davy back with the salary cap and 2013 being the final year of his contract," sporting director Nick De Santis said in a statement. "He has always been a true professional and leader both on and off the field. He has served his role of captain well. We'd like to thank him for all he has done over the last two years with the Impact and we wish him all the best in the future." www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/12/10/dc-united-send-international-roster-spot-montreal-impact-veteran-midfielder-

DCU deal for Seattle Sounders, USMNT striker Eddie Johnson Eddie Johnson wanted to get his due. D.C. United just wanted their groove back. Both sides got what they needed on Tuesday. Weeks after closing the books one of the most anemic offensive seasons in Major League Soccer history, D.C. announced they have landed the veteran striker from the Seattle Sounders, giving the club one of the top scoring threats of the past two seasons in MLS and a likely US national team contributor in the World Cup next summer. Johnson, 29, scored a combined 23 goals during the past two seasons for Seattle after returning to the league in February 2012. He heads to D.C. United in exchange for an undisclosed amount of allocation money. “Eddie is coming off a terrific year with Seattle and the USMNT, and we are very pleased to have acquired him,” said D.C. United general manager Dave Kasper in a press release. “He is one of the most dangerous attacking players in MLS, and we believe he will be an important contributor to our team.” www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/12/17/dc-united-deal-seattle-sounders-usmnt-striker-eddie-johnson
