“I think we’re always looking at everything, right? I think if those guys [Giacomo Vrioni and Bobby Wood] are healthy, then no. But yeah, if you’re on your third, we don’t have a third striker, right?
I believe in Vrioni and think he would have made all the difference against Toronto with his passing (which has been excellent) if nothing else.
That said, in what MLS world is a 3rd striker on a 25 man roster a "luxury"? Only Houston has only 2 strikers. The Revs team website lists other 'forwards', but they aren't really forwards (Josh Bolma and Esmir, who are really midfield and defender). And there's Malcom Fry, like Bolma, who hasn't even made the bench a single time.
This is really malpractice by Onalfo - everyone saw this coming - now they act like it's bad luck. How about explaining why we needed to trade Jordan Adebayo-Smith?
Porter must be dreaming or Curt has him believing we don't need a third striker. Chancalay played good but his size is against him. He was all over the field. Vrioni hasn't performed and Wood's knees are ready for the retirement home.
Face it, it's not just that neither were available, it's that his first choice, Vrioni, has never performed up to what you would expect. Yet, Porter keeps thinking he's going to.
