So if Montano's signing isn't complete today

how long do we have to wait for him to get on the roster?

I'm speculating here...

The sense I get is that no one’s in a big hurry to get him officially signed since it’s unlikely he’d be making the final 18 anyway. I don’t think the transfer window affects him, though, since he was already here.

If Montano’s signing isn’t officially completely today he can still train with Seattle but can not play in any games.

Just saw this

According to Joshua Mayers, the Sounders have done enough to not have his status adversely affected.

What exactly does this mean?

Does this mean that we can play him should the need arise (after his paperwork is completed of course) ? Or does it simply mean that we have done enough that he wont be picked up by another team?

It means the team has done what they need to do and its just a matter of waiting to the paper work to get finished processing.

"Columbia"...?

Unless you mean the District of Columbia, the Columbia River, the Columbia Broadcasting System, or Columbia The Gem Of The Ocean, it should be “Colombia.”
