While a couple of recent jersey releases had mixed reviews, an Eastern Conference contender bolstered its midfield even more this offseason.
The New England Revolution acquired 24-year-old midfielder Gershon Koffie from the Vancouver Whitecaps, sending general allocation money and Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) to the Western Conference club in exchange for the midfielder. The Revolution will also pay the Whitecaps a percentage of any future transfer fee obtained for Koffie. (REPORT)

What do you think of the new jerseys? How do you rate the reported signing of Lizarazo?
Share your thoughts below.
why is Jermaine Jones not listed in Revolution’s roster and Koffie is? WHERE IS JERMAINE JONES?!!!!
Clicked on the report for the FCD guy, Google translated the page from Spanish and found this little gem:
“The steering wheel is on loan for one year with option to purchase, on the computer that runs the Colombian Oscar Pareja.”
What’s the Spanish equivalent of Engrish?
It sounds funny!
It is about words that have multiple meanings, depending on the topic of conversation.
“El volante estará en calidad de préstamo por un año, con opción de compra, en el equipo que dirige el colombiano Óscar Pareja.”
volante = steering wheel (in soccer: midfielder, not the attackig kind)
equipo = team, or an electronic unit, such as a computer, or other of some complexity and suffistication
Nonetheless, it is a funny translation. Now we know who is running whom.
Too bad…if Pareja was run by a computer we just need to load in Football Manager and/or FIFA 16 and we’ll win the league and CCL!
I think the Rev’s signing spells the end of any hope Jones had of returning. This Fire fan is excited. I think the new Columbus kit is really ugly
