Well, considering it's Lee picking the players, fingers crossed that there is some truth in the old saying that even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

Well, considering it's Lee picking the players, fingers crossed that there is some truth in the old saying that even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
Is that the saying?
Maybe? It's very possible I am misremembering the saying. I should have stated it more directly: David Lee’s track record with high-cost transfer signings, particularly attackers, has been abysmal and doesn’t inspire much confidence.
The sun shines on a dog’s ass some days would work here too.

Guessing no choice of Gustavo pre Leagues Cup?
Haven't the slightest idea if this is a reliable site or not, but I saw this on a Discord page and thought I'd share.

Interesting guy. Statistically, he was the best forward on his team. (They weren't very good, but there it is.)Haven't the slightest idea if this is a reliable site or not, but I saw this on a Discord page and thought I'd share.

Yes, but he is also a 24 year old who didn't feature until a month ago for the North Macedonia national team. I mean, Bakrar has featured a few times for Algeria, which has more pedigree IMHOInteresting guy. Statistically, he was the best forward on his team. (They weren't very good, but there it is.)

This sounds like such a David Lee signing.

Yeah, the guy is clearly a depth signing to backup Alonso alongside Reid. There has to be MLS veterans or even USL guys that could fill that role without requiring an international spot, but that's not clever enough for Lee.
Striker isnt a position to pinch pennies on a washed up MLS vet or a flyer on a USL guy.
This ^^^
This isn't starting striker, it's a back up role. If this David Toshevskiis rumor is true, we are talking about a guy who scored 6 goals in 24 appearances. Transfermarkt lists Toshevski's value at $450K and he takes an international spot. Gabe Segal is also 24 with a listed value of $200K and he has 2 goals in 9 appeances.
I agree with you that we shouldn't be pinching pennies on striker, I would prefer they get someone better than all of these guys. My point is that if you are looking at a guy at the level of Toshevskiis I think you can find equal quality domestically.
Where exactly are we getting a domestic striker in the middle of a season for a better value and price point than a guy on free?
Yeah, he hasn't exactly set the world on fire. But if this happens, he's not being brought in as a major piece. Just as an affordable backup.
But hey, if we catch lightning in a bottle, great.

Then again, Alonso also arrived with zero pedigree and look at him now, so who knows?
