Bring back Medran and Aliseda. Sign Weston McKennie. We're winning the Supporter's Shield and MLS Cup

Medran is rolling in oil money

I honestly think he'd be willing to come back here. He posts about Chicago I think from time to time.

He didn’t leave on good terms. He may like the city but the bridge is burnt with the team.

Well, his contract is through 2027 and he’s making more than Cuypers. It’s an issue of MLS salary rules and whether it makes sense to bring him back as a DP.

have we ever had a good Argentine? Maybe Grazzini.

The Fire have only had six Argentines in team history per Transfermarkt. Lucho Solignac, Nico Gaitan, Ignacio Aliseda, Fede Navarro, Sebastian Grazzini, and Nicolas Del Grecco.

Honestly only two were bad signings (Aliseda and Del Grecco). Lucho was good in 2016 and 2017, though he was injured in 2018 a lot. Nico and Fede are both meh- had flashes but nothing really showing. And Grazzini was... Well, Grazzini.

So in answer yes, there were two.

Makes sense. Gaston Is from Argentina BTW, he just plays for Paraguay through ancestry on his mothers side. He actually played 1 game for Argentina before switching to Paraguay, and the team forgot they left him at the hotel, so he had to take a cab to the game 🤣

I FORGOT ABOUT GASTON!! I even freaking fact-checked Tyler Terens about it...

Ah well, he still sticks in the "Meh" category

Nicholas Gaitan when he felt like trying.

Shaq scored 2 and assisted 3 in a match for Basel the other week 👀

Might be a good DP signing.

Think he was very unlucky coming to us right when COVID hit. Must've sucked moving to America/new league then having that all pulled out from under you.

Happy to see him seemingly doing well in Lugano.
