Will Johnson dreamed of coming to Portland

On a day of lots of comings and goings with the Portland Timbers, new midfielder Will Johnson was pretty excited about his new home:

Thank you to the Portland Timbers for allowing me to come to the team of my choice. I will repay your investment handsomely and can't wait!!

The first time I played in Portland I dreamed of playing there. My dream is now reality and my family and I are extremely grateful! #excited

As Timbers general manager Gavin Wilkinson put it in today's announcement, "his attitude is infectious."
