So, if some foreign players really are set to sign with MLS teams right now, then what happened to the April 15 league mandated transfer deadline?New York have actually signed a striker, using the Designated Players rule. It's Colombian forward Juan Pablo Angel, who was released from his contract at Aston Villa in England. The deal was done on Friday according to NYRB coach Bruce Arena. Angel will need to get a work visa before he can join the team, and that usually takes a week or two.-One thing that will help Angel is that he speaks perfect English.-Here is the official press release.-There are already photos of him wearing team gear.~ ~ ~ ~ ~The Guillermo Barros Schelotto to Columbus rumor has continued with Gregory Sica of Sports Illustrated quoting an Argentine agent as saying the deal is done. Shawn Mitchell of the Columbus Dispatch cannot get the team to confirm or deny any of the reports. There is supposedly a press conference to be held at some time today in Buenos Aires. (Note: It was called off.)
