Sibdane Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Yes, please. Honestly didn’t know much about him before the turn of the year, but he is a menace and shows himself for the ball. I also think he has the physicality so slide into the PL quickly. See him as a great backup to DCL with added bonus of him being young enough to grow/challenge for the starting spot in the future. He works hard so I can see him being someone that works well under Rafa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Florida Cup was a step in that direction though obviously didn’t come off as we had hoped. I don’t think it’s that we change loyalties here so much. Nobody is switching from the Red Sox to the Yankees or from the Packers to the Cowboys. It’s just that most American sports fans don’t have a “soccer” team, or if they do it’s a passing interest. Either way though that leaves a lot of potential supporters up for grabs and, as you mention, we’d be smart to capitalize.

Especially since we are about to lose a significant amount of interest from South America. I've heard/read around $5M, but even that if true, is a bargain, even if it's only to sign and place on a Championship loan. Selfishly I'd of course like a Yank on the team, but there is the off the field considerations mentioned above, vis-a-vis a largely untapped US market.
