According to the Soccer Insider, DC United acquired a center-mid from Brazil, before last night's deadline. Whoever he may be, he is not yet listed on the team roster.
I can't tell if "still scout down there" is a continuation of the puns or not. I'm going to assume that it is.
"D.C. United today announced that the club has signed Brazilian midfielder Raphael Augustoon loan from top-flight Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro. Augusto is a 21-year-old playmaking midfielder who has represented the Brazil U-20 Men’s National Team on multiple occasions.

I hate it when people show "highlight" videos like the one at the bottom of the page. Nice to finally know who it is though. Thanks.
Here's a 12 minute highlight video. He's pretty strong on the ball w/ a decent first touch. Horrible finisher and not too impressive on the long passes. He should be interesting to watch. He likes to run with the ball and he certainly won't be intimidated by the physical game of MLS.
I got in too late to add another pun, they've been well taken care of - but I will say that any Brazilian without just one name must be horrible, so I expect him to eclipse both Emilio and Fred as The Worst Brazilian Ever™ I like the idea of this move, let's hope it pans out.
