New England Revolution midfielder Andy Dorman has decided to leave MLS and head to his native England. The Boston University graduate, drafted with the 58th pick in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft, was a key part of the Revolution squad which has been the Eastern Conference's best team over his four years in New England. Dorman told MLSNet, "I would have loved to have stayed with the Revs. I was happy there, but financially it was never really an option. The numbers that were talked about were nowhere near what I thought I deserved. Once that developed, I realized I had to figure something else out."

Despite rumours linking him with Americans magnet club Fulham, one player apparently not set for a Gillette exit is Michael Parkhurst. His agent, Craig Sharon, told American Soccer Daily that there are no current talks going on with any European club. As it stands, the MLS Defender of the Year intends to play out the last year of his Revs contract in 2008.
