Taylor Twellman offically retired this week ending 2 long years of speculation over his future. Now with over 400k in cap space freed up and another 250k freed up by the release of Edgaras Jankauskus the Revolution will not be able to use the injury excuse as to why they cannot sign addtional players or improve the squad.
Enough has been written about Twellman this week and he's been all over the news, plus I'm lazy so if you want to read more
go here.
Speaking of improving the squad the Revs currently have Filip Krstic on trial and joining them in some post season training sessions. Kristic has a strong pedigree and is young which counters previous trialists and signings, possibly the Revs have learned that no name Africans generally don't cut it in the MLS and way past their prime aging Europeans will just get broken. Krstic is a 22 year old German born Serb (Serbs seem to work for us, we'll just ignore the war crimes) and is a left/center defender. Krstic's youth career starts at SpVgg Unterhaching, with stints at Bayern Munich, Hertha BSC and Valencia. He's represented Serbia at both the U-17 and U-19 level with a total 28 appearances and 5 goals. His professional career includes time at Livorno (2008), Arminia Bielefeld II (2009) and is currently at the German third division club SV Babelsberg 03.
