72 Roo 556 Report post Posted January 28 Welcome Perry! Caleb and Tim Bezbechenko has assembled one of the deepest rosters in MLS. If I was Artur I would be worried about playing time. Perry will look great alongside Nagbe as a holding mid. He will be the strong, physical presence that will allow Darlington to push up when he wants to. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennZip 1,313 Report post Posted January 28 https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2021/01/28/columbus-crew-sc-sign-veteran-midfielder-perry-kitchen Bezbatchenko's quote from MLS article “Perry is a seasoned player whose addition to our roster will help bolster our midfield,” Crew president & GM Tim Bezbatchenko said in a club statement. “Along with bringing a decade of professional experience and leadership in MLS and abroad, Perry will provide another important veteran voice to our locker room. We believe that his qualities as a player on and off the field will allow him to fit right in at our club.” 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He will be the strong, physical presence that will allow Darlington to push up when he wants to. This will likely push Nagbe into more of an 8, or box to box MF. I prefer Kitchen's grit to Artur's speed. Biased I am. Imagine Kitchen and Morris playing the two in 4-2-3-1. Nothing would get through. Nagbe can play five or six different positions. No worries there. Kitchen is a pure 6. There are now many tactical options available to Porter, depending upon the opponent. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Z.I.P. 320 Report post Posted February 13 Shocked that I am the one to drop this in here at last...? But...Ives Galarcep interviewed perhaps my all-time fave from the National Champions, Z. aka Mr. Z, or in Amish Country Zarek Valentin on his excellent podcast last week. At 29, Zarek is now the Houston Dynamo player rep and on the MLSPA Ex Comm. Ives and Z discuss among other topics the All Time College Soccer Final Four team, in which the 2010 Akron squad features prominently and they mention Zarek's brother Julian's Wake Forest team and have a great college soccer discussion. Another very interesting subject brought up is that Z's international football career may not be over, as he's very interested in playing for his ancestral Puerto Rican national squad. Hope the podcast stays up for a while, in case anyone misses it. The part with Zarek lasts over 45 minutes. https://sbisoccer.com/2021/02/the-sbi-show-episode-299-with-special-guest-zarek-valentin/amp?__twitter_impression=true 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
