We're encouraged by the news today that Freddy's injury is indeed minor. He has already begun the rehabilitation process and we look forward to having him back in uniform in a matter of weeks.

This is a tremendous honor for Freddy. As a young player, we are proud of his development and continued determination to be a great player. Freddy and D.C. United both aspire to succeed on the world stage and this is another step toward that goal.

We feel pretty confident we're going to end up with a quality player with that first pick.

During his short time with us last season, we got a good taste of his professionalism and competitiveness. He is a young, exciting player, and we look forward to his contributions to our team.

He's a solid, young player who was available. These opportunities don't always come along. We believe he's going to help us this year and moving forward next year.

Through D.C. United, MLS and the U.S. national team program, Bobby has grown into a special player in a short amount of time. At Spurs, Bobby has the opportunity to prove that he can succeed in one of the top leagues in the world. We are extremely proud and happy for Bobby and wish him the best of luck.

He's a very talented central defender, very good in the air. He's composed on the ball, as you would expect from an Argentinian player. He's going to be a great addition to our club.

The contracts are held by the league. When we reach that stage it will be a decision in the best interests of the league and all parties including Freddy and DC United.

He has had a terrific season and his presence on game days will be missed. But we are confident that Ben will fully recover from this injury.

We talked in general terms about a new contract, but we were going to be too far apart.
