Sounds super hypothetical, but if we’re dealing in thought experiments: how do Buksa’s experiences in France and/or a return to MLS affect the Revs’ reputation as a pathway to Europe/larger things for aspiring players? Is his injury in any way linked to his time in New England? We know the turf doesn’t have a good reputation...

This would be just catastrophic mismanagement from the revs if he’s back in MLS in another roster

I don’t understand how the Revs would be in any fault here. They sold him for good money. You can’t expect the Revs to leave a DP spot open for players they sell in case it doesn’t work out... that would constitute “catastrophic mismanagement”.

Certainly not leaving a spot open, but having the flexibility to buy someone down from DP status? I hope we would have that. But we also have so many strikers, too -- I’d like to see us have kept some room on the roster if there was even the slightest chance of him coming back. I hope we have a sell on or some kind of clauses to get some kind of benefit worst case scenario.
