There's no Fail in Feilhaber...

It's official, the New England Revolution have officially signed Benny Feilhaber. This is a huge addition to the Revs and will solidify a shaky midfield for sure.  Word is that he will join the team for training friday and will be available to play this Saturday against Sporting KC.As of right now we know of no injuries, I mean seriously no abductor or quad injuries on a new sigining?  That in itself is incredible (knock on wood). 

We are guessing that this signing is going to eliminate the possibility of the Revs signing a DP during the summer window as cap space must be getting tight. We think there was about $1 million in cap space at the beginning of the season, we guess that some of the new salaries are as follows: Dabo $225k, Domi $200k, Lekic $300k, Feilhaber $400k.  Allocation money may have been used  to pay down the salary cap hit of some of these contracts but since the league and the Revs like to hang out behind the iron curtain when it comes to money we aren't 100% sure where our cap stands.

This was obviously a no-brainer for the Revs, not signing him or trading him away would have been blasphemous considering the needs and shape this team is in.  The team was in the right place at the right time to be able to sign a difference maker.  A midfield including Feilhaber, Shalrie and hopefully a soon healthy Dabo has the potential to be one of the best in MLS.  Feilhaber could be the missing link in what the Revs have needed to turn the team around. We're looking forward to seeing the new Benny and the Revs...
