You Got Serb'd...with walking papers...

Today the New England Revolution announced that they would not exercise the contract options on Serbians Ilija Stolica and Marko Perovic.  This comes as a surprise regarding Marko Perovic who was considered a fan favorite and one of the stars of the team.  Perovic was placed on the season ending injury list after having knee surgery a few weeks ago.  Stolica was loaned to FC New York where he has not seen any playing time.

Stolica we get but Perovic is a little harder to understand.  IS this to clear room for a DP? Is Perovic's injury worse than previously reported?  This move raises a lot of questions for sure, we'll keep an eye on how this all pans out.

Update: According to Kyle McCarthy Perovic asked for his option not to be picked up.

  1. Perovic is a head scratcher. Unless it's purely a short term unscrew this year move with cap room. Sad nonetheless.
