That brings the total number of international spots to 11 for the Montreal Impact.
With both Mike Fucito and Lamar Neagle out of Montreal, there is no more trace of the Eddie Johnson trade between the Montreal Impact and the Seattle Sounders. With 23 games played with the Impact, Lamar Neagle seemed to be man out in the midfield since the arrival of Andrea Pisanu.
Sporting Director did talk about getting an offensive player (midfield or forward) in the summer and having more international spots would be part of the process.

Lamar Neagle's reaction to the trade via the Seattle Sounders
It's amazing. It's going to be nice to be able to see my family and be around my little sister and everything like that. I know the fans are going to enjoy it. They had so much support for me when I left originally ... It's going to be good to hear from them again. I know my family is going to be ecstatic. I can't imagine what my mom and my grandma are going to say when they find out. And the teammates. I know a lot of guys have changed. In the offseason I came back and I connected with a few of the guys so it'll be a good homecoming.
