Rating: 4 (Good)

Ives Galarcep is reporting that New England is preparing to use its Designated Player slot.
We would have rated this higher considering the source but it is almost unfathomable that the Krafts would actually open the wallet to spend on the Revolution. Perhaps the orange shock (and the potential repeat) of the two time falling to Houston in the MLS Cup final, finally forced a change? Color us gobsmacked if the New England Revolution actually do sign a designated player.

Of course this all brings to mind that old Luis Figo to New England rumor we received here a month ago. Or maybe Harry Kewell to New England?
