Adam being mentioned as a possible starter for his MLS team
Yep, we’re still talking about the No. 10
Last week’s ill-timed injury to Ilsinho — seriously, I think Nick Fishman put a curse on the poor guy — threw the door wide open for both Anthony Fontana and Adam Najem. With the odds of an outside hire walking into Clearwater decreasing by the minute, the two youngsters are in a pitched battle for the starting role.
Interestingly, the teenaged Fontana got the start on Saturday. But while he didn’t make any major errors, the Delaware native didn’t exert much influence on the match. Najem, on the other hand, looked lively in the final thirty minutes, producing an assist on the Union’s lone goal. Of course, he also managed to blast a sitter well over the bar, so it was a mixed bag for both players.
Najem probably has the slight edge heading into the final week, but with the two players set to split 180 minutes on the pitch this week it’s anyone’s guess who’ll be starting on March 3.
