UPDATED: Revolution Have Signed 3 Internationals

UPDATED: Revolution sources have told us the positions of the three incoming players.  Player positions are reported as a defensive/central midfielder, central defender and possibly a winger.  This again brings us to believe that Ousmane Dabo is one of our signings, we also think Jerome Rothen may be the "winger" again these players are pure speculation and not based on any sources.

We usually don't post tweets but this comes to us from Revolutiton Chief Operating Officer Brian Bilello:

"3 Internationals are signed but we do not have ITCs or Visas yet. Once we get those we can announce. Should be next week."(link)

So we now just have to wait for the powers that be it seems.  We Know that its Francis Jeffers will not be one of them, and we are relatively sure that Caleb Folan who has been rumored to be coming to MLS will not be joining the Revolution either.  If we were betting men we would say there is a good possibility of Ousmane Dabo, but that is pure speculation.

Francis Jeffers linked to New England Revolution?

The Daily Mirror is reporting that the Revolution have made an offer to 30 year old English striker Francis Jeffers.  Jeffers got his start in the youth system at Everton and has played for Arsenal, Charlton Athletic, Rangers, Blackburn Rovers, Ipswich Town, Sheffield Wednesday, and most recently Australia's Newcastle United Jets.

Overall Jeffers does not have very exciting numbers 1 goal in 9 appearences at Newcastle Jets and 5 goals in 54 apperences at Sheffield Wednesday, his to most recent teams.  Jeffers has an injury history and is a bit of a journeyman and there are concerns over his attitude. According to Sheffield Wednesday manager Brian Laws "His conduct was totally unacceptable and something this club will not tolerate,"after Jeffers was red carded in a game against Port Vale, he was transfer listed after the incident. This is a sigining that we would be very skeptical of at best, we'll keep an eye on this one.
