Good trade all round imo. With all this extra TAM sloshing around, the international slots have never been more valuable. And we just freed up two of them by shipping off our backup CB.
I was never particularly polite about Brillant. He was arguably the most overpaid non-DP on the team, and too often he shit the bed when it really mattered (Red Bulls away was particularly howling). I think management thought he would play at Chanot levels when we signed him, but obviously had to have another go. But credit to him, he filled in ably last season. I'm sure he'll improve D.C. United.
