The Revs traded for the striker last year hoping the blockbuster would turn things around. Instead, it has been a big disappointment
One year ago, the New England Revolution broke the MLS bank to add a player who could hopefully rekindle the team's long and painful quest for an MLS Cup title. Today, though, that move is looking like a costly mistake.
The Revs needed to shake things up. That much was clear when they jumped into discussions with the Columbus Crew over disgruntled forward Kei Kamara in May 2016. He was less than a year removed from being a 22-goal scorer and leading the Crew to an MLS Cup final, but had worn out his welcome in Columbus.
