Canadian striker Randy Edwini-Bonsu had to do some wheeling and dealing with his German club in order to get clearance to play for Canada’s U-23 team in the upcoming Olympic qualifiers, which begin Thursday in Nashville.

The Impact announced three signings on Thursday. And while the signings of second-round draft pick Calum Mallace and Mexican Gienir Garcia are relevant, the story Canadian fans are going to pick up on is that the Impact have inked Canadian midfielder Evan James to a deal.

At this time last season, Eduardo Sebrango was pondering retirement. Now, he’s guaranteed a season in Major League Soccer.

Fucito scored six goals in all competitions last year; Neagle scored five in MLS and then added another playoff marker in the Western Conference semifinal loss to Real Salt Lake. Three of Neagle's goals came in an August win over Columbus.

Canadian Evan James rounded out the rout, converting a cross from Miguel Montano — who spent part of last season with the Impact in its final NASL season — to make the final score 3-0 Impact.

Of the Canadian teams, Montreal made the biggest splash Tuesday, selecting two Canadians out of the four picks it made.
