Pat Noonan played for the New England Revolution before going to Norway’s Aalesunds FK at the beginning of the year. Now the Revolution have signed their former striker and immediately traded him to the Columbus Crew. During Noonan’s years with the Revolution he has played 136 and scored 42 goals.
The Revolution will receive a first round draft pick and allocation money and the rights to trade allocation position with the Crew.
The New England Revolution got goals from Pat Noonan, Taylor Twellman and Wells Thompson to top FC Dallas in tonite’s US Open Cup. FC Dallas scored goals by Arturo Alvarez and Abe Thompson.
This is the first major trophy for the New England Revolution. They have been runners up in both the US Open Cup and the MLS Cup several times. The Revolution could be one of the favorites to get the double this year as they are having a strong regular season, but trail DC United in the east standings.
On April 7th the New England Revolution travel to Chicago to open the 2007 MLS regular season but they could possibly be missing 3 important pieces of a very good team.
Pat Noonan had sports hernia surgery on his groin yesterday after taking an injury while training in Mexico. It is not known weather Noonal will be able to play by the season opener.
Michael Parkhurst on the other hand is definetly on the sidelines for that first game in Chicago. He seperated his left shoulder while surfing. It is not aparent when he will be back in the linup.
Daniel Hernandez will also be missing that game with also with a groin injury.
News like that could very well lead to an opening day pick against the defending Eastern Conference Champions on opening day.
