New York has made yet another brave move this trade period, this time offloading a substantial part of their midfield group.

The Revolution will receive Harley Bennell, Simon Hogan and Hayden Crozier in return for Ryan Bastinac, Bernie Vince, Michael Rischitelli and Lewis Johnston. The trade significantly bolsters the New york forward line, with Harley becoming their new F1 and Crozier providing fantastic depth.

However with the departure of the 2 most senior players from the midfield group, questions are arising as to whether all these list movements are going to have an affect on the bonds of the players at the club. Will all these drastic movements unsettle the playing group? A third of the best XV has been changed already this trade period, and there are sure to be more to come.

We're not worried at all, we're looking to build a strong list that we can retain for several seasons to come. This is a transition period for New York so there are going to be lots of changes at the club.

[AFEV]

Lots of changes to the list today!

OUT: Paine, Savage, de Boer, Saad, Hombsch

IN: B Smith, Blair, A Young, M.W Brown, Sinclair

Welcome to the club boys! :)

The reserves team for the New York Revolution has finally been given a face. After seeing out the 2012 season as simply 'New York Seconds' the main men at New York felt it was time for their reserves to be branded following the rebranding of the main side.

So I'm pleased to present:

Washington Rebellion

The excitement was apparent among those present, with the Rebellion being well placed to do well in 2013.

Sid: Obviously New York is situated in the Eastern part of the US and we felt like this was a brilliant opportunity to make ties over West.
We're extremely excited to further develop our supporter base, we feel like there is a lot of untapped potential here for us and giving more people an opportunity to see some of our youngest and most exciting talent is a big positive coming out of this

Reporter: Are you worried that having such a gulf between the seconds and the firsts will make it more difficult for players to transition smoothly in the senior side?

Sid: The whole senior squad will continue to train together as a solitary group, with the major change to the setup being that the reserves will be playing their games in Washington now.

[AFEV]

A bunch of trades squeezed in before this period ended saw the following list changes for New York:

OUT: Dean Cox, #75

IN: Jonathan Giles, Josh Jenkins



These trades added a lot of depth to our ruck division, previously we relied heavily on Cox and this leaves us with quite a few options in the ruck.
It's sad to see Dean leave but looking forward we think this is the best move for us.

New York has added one of the finest coaches in the nation to it's ranks this morning, with JROO8 coming on as an assistant for the club.

JROO has signed agreed to act as an advisor to co-coaches Pyronerd and Sid for the 2013 season.

We're very happy to have brought Jroo into the team, we have been impressed by his knowledge and work ethic in the past and we're confident having him join the staff here in New York will provide and extra edge in the 2013 season.

Jroo was one of the highest ranked SuperCoaches for 2012, finishing in the top .1% in the world, we're hoping adding Jroo to the team can help New York get into that elite bracket.

Updated the OP. The list in that is now up to date as well as the table on this page.

Still not entirely happy with that header though so will likely change it at some stage..
