The Bent Musket, a New England Revolution community

The Revolution finally made good on their promise to strengthen the defense, putting pen to paper on a loan deal for Portuguese defender Jose Goncalves. It's not the end of the road for this team's D, but it's a good start.

Rumors have started to circulate today that the Revolution are close to a deal to acquire the services of the center-back who is supposedly looking for more playing time than he's currently getting.
