News: Revolution to Sign Slovenian Defender Antonio Mlinar

Great point. Because the Revs are so short-staffed, landing a (by MLS standards) decent by not Best XI player took the whole staff. Burns claimed they were going to add 4-5 Delamea-level players. That clearly is impossible without hiring additional staff.

However the fact that they paid a transfer fee for a player not expected to have a big publicity impact is a good sign. It shows the Bengston failure hasn't made them gunshy.

 

TBM is citing reports saying that Delamea has been called up for Slovenia's June 10 WCQ vs. Malta

 

Delemea went 90' vs Malta - I think this was his first non-friendly match for Slovenia. Slovenia is 3rd in Group F, trailing Slovakia by a point, and leading Scotland by three points.

 

My apologies if this has already been posted. Toni Delamea featured in this article:

Thank God for Toni or the defense would be a DC style disaster.
