The Elusive Third International

The Revolution finally announced the mystery 3rd international signing, Michael Augustine, 18, from Nigeria.  He has been described by Nicol as a winger with "bags of potential".  The Revs seem to sign an African project every year, with well... mixed results.  Augustine is expected to compete with Nyassi.

Augustine is currently in Georgia training with the team.  He has scored 18 goals since 2008 with his prior team FCT Abuja.  Little else is known about him at this time, so I guess this is a wait and see player...

I Bless the Rains Down in Africa...

...Gonna take some time to do the things we never have...

Like find a good player from one of Steve Nicol's African scouting trips... Assengue, Niouky, whoever else... Fail. Despite freeing up over a half a million in cap space and being told that the Revolution will be actively pursuing a Designated Player this off season our illustrious gaffer is off in Africa looking for another cheap diamond in the rough.

Let us know when that coal turns into a diamond Stevie...
