The former retired and eventually became a part of the Revs broadcast team. The latter joined newly formed AC St. Louis in the Division 2 Pro League. These holes were filled primarily through the draft and a trade that sent Wells Thompson and Jeff Larentowicz to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for defender Cory Gibbs and Goalkeeper Preston Burpo. For 2010, the Revs also signed Senegalese midfielder Joseph Niouky and Serbian midfielder Marko Perovic and released Costa Rican defender Gabriel Badilla.http://blog.revolutionsoccer.net/?p=6270 Let's get defensive Lemieux Jeff March 8, 2010 April 14, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20110724032440/http://blog.revolutionsoccer.net/?p=6270 July 24, 2011 dead mdy-all Review Preseason The Revs began training for the 2010 Major League Soccer season on February 1, 2010 inside the Dana Farber Fieldhouse at Gillette Stadium, the same indoor practice facility used by the New England Patriots.
