MLS Re-Entry Draft Winners and Losers

Josh WolffWith both rounds of the 2010 MLS Re-Entry Draft now complete, Fanhouse takes a look at some of the process' winners and losers.

Winners

DC United
Picks: Joseph Ngwenya in stage 1, Josh Wolff in stage 2

After the year United had, the only place to go is up. D.C. was one of only two teams to take advantage of round 1 of the Re-Entry Draft, scooping up Joseph Ngwenya from Houston. The Zimbabwean's statistics may not be that impressive, but he hasn't really been given the chance to spread his wings yet. He has spent time in Austria and Turkey, and has won the MLS Cup with both Houston and LA. His leadership and experience should give United some badly needed punch up top.

Wolff, too, will help D.C. recover some of the backbone they so sorely lacked in 2010. The forward has been a part of two separate Gold Cup-winning U.S. national teams, and has already grabbed both the MLS Cup and the Open Cup during his tenure in the league. He's getting on in years, but he proved last season that he can still be a calming presence in the midfield.
