Jamie Holsgrove @JamieHolsgrove @SeanLDonahue very very exciting player! Official press release tomorrow.
I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. I'm all tingly! Edit: Just a note. All credit to them for trying to create hype, if that is indeed what is happening. It's just a matter of battle fatigue under the Burns administration.
The Revs have not said a word about this. Only the agent has mentioned anything, and he hasn't directly said it was the Revs signing someone, only implied it. Sounds like it could be a former Man United academy player. A 5'8" Central Midfielder? Just what we need! Devin Pleuler @devinpleuler It seems that @s_hewson15's agent claims to have a big announcement with the @NERevolution tomorrow. He nearly moved to MLS in 2010. #Revs
Scratch Sam off the list of possibilities. Jamie Holsgrove @JamieHolsgrove @devinpleuler devin it's not sam, although he's a very good player.
Some of his other clients include: Miguel Llera, 33 yo CB at Sheffield Wednesday. Juan Francisco Garcia Pena, 23 yo Malaga Striker who recently trialed with MK Dons.
Extensive google trolling. I can't find any decent lists, just random references. Chances are he has dozens, I just found a couple hits.
Daniel Essien Etor is my shot in the dark guess. He appears to be a playmaking midfielder, Nigerian International, can play out wide as well. He's a free agent and has interest from a number of top Nigerian Premier League teams as of 5 days ago. 20 years old.
If this is in fact the Revs making a significant signing I like the timing---early in the offseason My money is on this being a defender
B. Schimmel @theIndirectKick @RevsPrez can we expect a player announcement tomorrow? #revs Details FollowingBrian Bilello@RevsPrez @theIndirectKick should be one this week, maybe tomorrow
I feel like there's a signed contract but now the Revs FO is too scared too announce it. They need 3 lawyers to view it after the fact to make sure it's real. Hopefully we get some good news before Thanksgiving. No more Moreno situations please.
Just a rumor... heard that at least two MLS teams had been doing their due diligence on Ghanian midfielder Stephen Appiah before he agreed to terms with a team in Iran, of all places. That deal fell through, and he could be back on MLS radar screens. Might be a fit in Foxboro, but the injury history concerns me.
Doubt it. I believe the agent said this was a "full international". Brandy last appeared in an England shirt for a youth team three years ago.
A different rumor, but according to this blog Heaps has meet with Walter Martinez. http://www.thebentmusket.com/2012/1...-kalifa-cisse-walter-martinez-jamie-holsgrove
The rest of the Revs' "declined options" have come out. None are huge surprises - Brettschneider, Purdie and Roach in addition to Lechner.
This caught me by surprise, waiver draft today. Revs pick 4th. http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012/11/19/mls-hold-waiver-draft-monday-330-pm-et
