I don’t get to combine words with charts as often as I’d like these days, but I heard something on the broadcast of the #NERevs loss at Portland…

Specifically that NE was “2-3 players away from the turnaround really going Caleb Porter’s way”

I decided to dig in on that claim.

After 64 games coached, Caleb Porter owns the lowest PPG of any #NERevs mangager (excluding interim).

Hard to say this is a surprise.

The New England Revolution parted ways with Head Coach Caleb Porter. Assistant Coach Pablo Moreira will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.

If the #NERevs game keeps up like this may switch to the movie at half time 😂

My latest article with @theblazingmusket.com takes a look at why, while technically hope still exists for a playoff push, maybe #NERevs fans shouldn’t hold their breath for a turnaround.

That and apple pie recipes.

Sources: New England Revolution and Maccabi Tel Aviv still in negotiations for Israel int'l forward Dor Turgeman.

Clubs a few million apart on valuation. Talks ongoing.

Turgeman, 21, open to New England but several European clubs in the mix as well.

If I’m reading the situation correctly (and I may not be):

With Ganago’s appearance clause/loan extension from 6 months to 1 year and Vancouver’s summer international spot return clause (and subsequent intl spot purchase) the #NERevs are spending $425K just to keep Ganago (1g 2a) roster compliant.

Yesterday on X, a KC reporter informed me that some INTL spot trades have buy backs clauses

Guessing the #NERevs needed to buy a spot just to fulfill the deal

@tombogert.bsky.social reported today that the #NERevs could add a U22 No. 9.

Keep an eye on 21-year-old striker Dor Turgeman of Maccabi Tel Aviv.

He had 15 goals in 32 appearances during the 2024-25 season

He turned heads when he scored against Brazil at the 2023 U-20 World Cup.

Ah you’re correct. Conflated his comments on Soccerwise. He speculated there could be a transfer next year but no official option to purchase.

I sort of don't think the Revs ever take on a 'loan-with-option-to-purchase' deal without fully intending to make the purchase 😂

This is, at once, a move that makes sense for both parties and ALSO doesn't *really* make sense for either.

Turner needs minutes to regain traction with the US, but MLS likely not preferred league to do so.

#NERevs need to stop leaking goals but have larger positions of need, esp for the money.

🇺🇸 Sources: New England Revolution are on track to sign USMNT GK Matt Turner on loan from Lyon.

Very complicated, but plan coming together. Still needs to be executed.

- One-year loan from Lyon
- TAM-eligible (but could initially use 3rd DP slot for cap)

Using the bye-week to update some running plots and thought I'd post the updated version of this chart from preseason for no reason in particular.

Porter's PPG has improved ~slightly~ to 0.965 over the course of 58 regular season matches
