Julian De Guzman set to become our first Designated Player

According to Kristian Jack at the Score, Julian De Guzman has agreed to become our first designated player. Mo Johnston is apparently shopping players around the league in order to make room for him under the salary cap. Anyone else seeing Danny Dichio's two-month early retirement in the near future?

Let's face it - JDG will step into this league and instantly become one of the top five players. As a supporter, seeing Julian De Guzman in our team is an exciting prospect, but at this point I'm not sure whether or not bringing him in would help or not. Assuming Mo can make room for him by trading several players for allocation money, it could upset the balance in the team (or lack there of?). On the other hand, bringing him into our midfield could be just what we need.

These next few weeks could be interesting, though I'd rather it be because of our good form in a tight playoff race.
