It’s like LSU fans in the offseason when they had Jordan Jefferson playing QB. Every offseason you’d hear “Jefferson has turned the corner....Yeah, no.”



Well we will find out soon enough

Musah’s caps have thus far all been in friendlies against mediocre competition. And what I said is the clear weaknesses in the current starting XI are LB, CB next to Brooks, forward, and arguably musah. So that means I think Musah is not yet in the level of dest, pulisic, McKenzie, Adams, brooks, Reyna, but is better than Robinson, long/miazga, or Sargent/dike.

Again Musah is a really bright prospect, but thankfully 1500 career minutes for a mid table Spanish club as a sometimes starter no longer equates to a player that is a strength of the American team.

Musah is good and has looked good in his USMNT minutes, but I think Aaronson has proven just as much as Musah at this point. They don’t play the same position but each could potentially play in midfield depending on other players available.

I think De La Torre is also playing himself into that conversation.

The depth is encouraging.

One can make a good argument for Aaronson starting over Musah at this point. He has been playing consistently and has seven goals in 17 games in Austria while lately it seems Musah barely plays for Valencia.

I agree I like aaronson has a real argument to be in the starting XI. Have to think RB Leipzig is in his future. Will be interested to see what happens with him this transfer window
