I’ve always subscribed to the theory that if you’re going to make additions to your team, start them right away and that’s exactly what Frank Yallop and John Doyle are doing today against Toronto FC at BMO Field.

Along with sending allocation money to both Kansas City for Scott Sealy and Toronto FC for the rights to Darren Huckerby, the Earthquakes signed 37 year old Brazilian defensive midfielder Francisco Lima.

Lima’s resume is long and impressive as his stops include Sao Paulo, Lokomotiv Moscow, Bologna FC,  Roma and Brescia.
