Seattle Sounders have completed the signing of Swedish international Adam Johansson on Thursday.

Signing the defender on a long contract is certainly a coup for the club. Adam Johansson has spent the last 7 years of his career with Swedish club Goteborg.

This is his first major move in his career, and Seattle sounders will be hoping for the best from the 28-year-old. He made 129 appearances for the Swedish club and scored two goals in the process. He has also made his international debut for Sweden back in 2009 against USA.

At 36 years old many are talking of David Beckham as though he is too old to play in the MLS, and talking of retirement. At the same time 41-year-old Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Kasey Keller has been announced as the goalkeeper of the year by the MLS!

The Seattle Sounders are making good progress, says coach Sigi Schmid, and they are not far off being realistic contenders for the MLS Championships.

Whilst this year the Soundrs flounders once again in the first round of the playoffs, having performed admirably all season, Schmid is hopeful that next year they will be able to make it the the Playoff Finals, and win the tournament for Seattle.

The Seattle sounders are finding it very hard to meet the high expectations placed on them this season. "I don't think it's been an atrocious half season," Seattle's general manager and co-owner said. "But it hasn't quite been what we would've hoped."

Seattle Sounders is all set to take on Real Salt Lake in a highly entertaining match that is being looked forward by many, and is sponsored by the Free Bets website.

The Seattle Sounders FC have signed forward Lamar Neagle and also midfielder Servando Carrasco to further boost their squad.

A Tacoma native, the 23-year-old Neagle joins Sounders FC after stints in America and abroad during 2010.

"This is where I want to be," Neagle said. "From the start, I knew I needed more games to get better, and now I'm ready to make a difference. The biggest difference is my confidence and feeling comfortable on the field, and confidence comes from playing games and playing well."

Seattle Sounders have penned Osvaldo Alonso to a new deal. The club announced Thursday it had renegotiated Alonso’s contract, bumping up his pay and securing his services through the 2014 season. If any Sounders player deserved a pay hike for services rendered, then few can quibble with shelling out a few more bucks to Alonso.

The club are always on the look-out for the next Lionel Messi - so this could be YOUR big chance to become an actual Sounders player! Break out of the office and become a professional footballer lol!
