“The league [MLS] said no to the offer. They said they were not going to sell [Shalrie Joseph] during the season. It was a wonderful opportunity to play for one of the great clubs in the world and to play in the Champions League. I understand why they did it, but I am saddened by it. They don’t want to sell players during the season because it sends the wrong message to fans, plus the Revolution are making a playoff run and a drive for the championship.”
