All those surprised, please raise your hand.

... yeah, that's what I thought. I'm actually a little surprised that he's signing so early, and therefore not playing anywhere until next spring.

Unless, Seattle Sounders FC opt to get Keller some minutes - and make a couple of bucks on a fee - by sending him somewhere on loan. I'm not saying that it is likely to happen, but it could.
