    That's one possible reading. Others include:

    1. I (FDA) didn't get any info on the other(s).
    2. Another may be DP level (better than Domi).

    We're reading sort of reading tea leaves when we try to figure things out based on tweets (or twits, or whatever its called when you twitter).

    "Tweets" is correct, "twits" are people who support Sounders.

    That's funny, and instructive at the same time. Thanks.

    I think "Domi level" is probably a reference to the level of the clubs that the player has gotten playing time with, i.e., PSG, Newcastle, Espanyol, Olympiacos.

    I understand that is what they are saying but it would have better to say a Shalrie level or Perovic level or even a Angel level for that matter. Someone MLS fans can equate to

    This is starting to get interesting. We all felt that the Revs need a real major retooling if they were to stay competitive. The Rev management said they knew that the roster needed a major retooling and were intent in doing just that. They cleared a lot of Cap space. We have been told major player additions were in process of being signed. Now Little Frank Tweets like he knows who they are and the 2011 Revs are going to field an improved product. Color me cautiously excited.

    No, this just came out. He's going to sign elsewhere in MLS. Here's the quote:

    "May-amee arra greet cloob, wi' a prood tradesshen. The manager, Ray Hudson, is a Geordie lake me, an we get on greet, like. An' I also hord they got gurls doon there wi' greet beg teats, like!"

    Doc, it's hard to argue the team isn't already better than they were in 2011 (now that Shalrie's reported of course). What did ya expect Frank to say when the only direction you can go is up? ;)

    Zizou?

    I try to stay that way all the time. A truly positive attitude is essential to having an effective immune system. My positive attitude is one of the reasons why I'm able to read all the depressing posts on this Board and still participate. ;)

    You might want to consider an attitude upgrade. You might find life more enjoyable without that black cloud raining on you all the time. :D

    Ever watch the movie "Slapshot" This team reminds me of that team.

    [after meeting the Hansons]

    Reggie Dunlop: (SN to Mike Burns) Oh you cheap son of a bitch. Are you crazy? Those guys are retards!

    McGrath (Mike Burns): I got a good deal on those boys. The scouts said they showed a lot of promise.

    Reggie Dunlop (SN to Burns): Every piece of garbage that comes into the market and you gotta buy it!

    Yeah, but how awesome would the Revs' season be if they brought in the Hanson brothers?

    I'm excited. The fact that FDA said they're "strong personalities" suggests they're known players.

    Does anyone else find it weird that a journalist is not naming names? Don't journalist usually try really hard to be the first the report on signings?

    Not FDA. He has covered the Revs off and on for years and rarely leaks out any juicy gossip like Goff does. The only time we ever seem to hear about a possible signing is way after the fact. The Revs were interested in Pauleta, Fowler, etc. So frustrating...
