Revs 2017 Roster

I think they were on the forefront of the free Nachos on Latino appreciation night

 

Ouch. I was waiting for the first one of these posts - i.e., recalling the oddball or bad things for which they were on the forefront.

I bet there may be a few other good ones.

 

First to make it to the MLS Cup final three years in a row... (ouch, my heart)

 

Best of all in this whole article was Burns deciding to use the "12-24 months" reference. I winced when I saw that.

 

All Quoted For TRUTH!

 

Nonsense! The New England Revolution have been at the forefront of bringing up the rear in MLS for 22 seasons.

 

I started to read the article, but it just got me depressed. Here is the callout quote from the article that caught my eye:

Change that to "how far some MLS front offices..." and the scenario of "just a few years ago" is 2017, 2018, 2019 in Revs-land.

 

Won't see the revs doing this any time soon. Revs are taking a wait and see attitude in regards to grooming players and USL

 

how far along are they on the new stadium?

 

Good to know we've reached the "inexperienced African" stage of our annual player hunt. They should be wrapping it all up shortly, then waiting for the summer swoon to make a move.

 

per transfermarkt, both left footed. Sarpong a left back, Opoku a left mid.

 

Well, they really need to bring in an eventual replacement for Tyranny. He's not going to last forever, and his cultured left foot could pass on some of it's sophistication on to one of these guys. I know Tryanny has often been the whipping boy around here, but I beleve he is well regarded around the league and the club. But one thing the Revs have consistently failed to do is groom adequate replacements to step in when their better players leave or eventually decline. This could be a chance to do just that.

Or it could be a totally random chance that these two guys happen to be out of contract, available, and left-footed.

 

Sherman, set the WayBack Machine to 2007....

I tried to find an article from 2007 on the signing of Nyassi and Mansally (also U-20 Ghanaians at the time) and failed.

But I did find this gem:

Who says the Krafts are cheap?

 

That's incredible that they worked for no salary.

FYI Nyassi and Mansally are Gambians.

 

Watch out Donnie Smith!

 

Anyone have a comprehensive list of Africans who have been on Revolution rosters through the years? All I can recall are Nyassi, Mansally, Osei, Niouky, Assengue(?), and Dube.
