But I got to see Nascimento score in person!!
We're watching the game Saturday and thinking this is the 4th best team in the west? Or, where the heck has this team been all year.
So what to do with Reus and Zanka who I think eat up quite a bit of money. Reus just seems to be a super sub now until he inevitably gets hurt again. But he seems to be a leader in locker room and can direct guys as needed which is a plus. Zanka I don't even care - can say goodbye. But we need serious upgrades on defense.
I'm not sure Yoshida can sustain another full season, but I think he's signed through next year.
Reus I am good with. I think he has one more year, and supersub will be good for when Puig is back and starting.
Zanka has to be bought out. Plain and simple. Absolute bust.
(Then again Anderlecht fans were screaming about how bad he was, .....but you know, the FO did their homework....right?)
Sanabria is the one that worries me.
G's paid $5 mill. for him. He takes up a U22 spot.
G's signed him for 5 years!!!
Then they shoe-horn the guy into an 8 spot when he clearly is a 6, and plays like a 6.
He has shown little if anything this past season, and sat out a ton of the second half of the season.
IMHO....G's need:
- A young(er) and tall dominant CB (pair with Garces)
- A true 8 for the midfield
- A legitimate starting striker (return Nasci....he's not it)
The spine of this team is busted. Work on it.
