New England Revolution Aquire Benny Feilhaber

Details are still few but the Revs have you used their #3 spot in the returning USMNT player allocation order to acquire Benny Feilhaber (CM/.AM) after both Chivas, and Philadelphia declined.  Rumor has it that his cap hit is somewhere between 300-400k dollars.  Feilhaber was previously playing in the Danish Superliga for AGF Aarhaus but left the team and signed with MLS last Friday.

Feilhaber, 26, has 38 caps and 2 goals with the USMNT including an infamous goal in the Gold Cup final in 2007 (see video).  Feilhaber has played with Derby County, Hamburg SV, and is a UCLA product.

It is possible that the Revs could still trade Feilhaber and rumor has it that Houston has made an offer.  The Revolution have not officially announced the signing as of yet.
