Freddy Adu has been released from his 3rd division Swedish team after only having a contract for 4 months. Was only with the team for about 1 month.

Aaronson and Richards starting in Europa league action this afternoon
Posted on 2/18/21 at 1:37 pm to pvilleguru
Richards starts for Hoffenheim, Aaronson for Red Bull Salzburg, and Weah for Lille. Siebatcheu started and scored for young boys.

Have we ever gotten a pronunciation on his name?

Weah scored for Lille against Ajax. Poacher’s goal, but he still had a tough angle and the keep to go through. Beautiful, really.
He has five starts this season, 4 goals in those matches.

I was honestly surprised he scored. Keeper was right there and as you said the angle wasn’t the easiest. Dude is class. If he stays healthy he’s an every game starter for the first team.

I'm 100% starting Weah if there were a USMNT match tomorrow, either at ST or on the right wing.

The context wasn’t clear on the video, but he looked to be in the striker position.
I still like the idea of Sargent as a false nine with hold-up and outside the box finish potential, but Weah would be a great option there.
I also think with our lack of options at that position this year we’re gonna see a lot of Gyasi. I wish we would throw Morris up there at the nine and see what he can do just for shiggles.

This is probably the most options we've had at striker in quite some time.
Sargent, Jozy, Soto, Gioachinni, Weah, Ferreira, Hoppe, Dike, Akinola, Zardes, Ebobisse
ETA: I'm pretty sure Weah was playing on the wing today because Jonathan David was in the game.

How many of these are actual options though? Is Greg actually going to use Jozy at all, or has he only been brought in to mentor the youngsters?
Soto, Gio, Ferreira, Akinola, and Dike have all barely been seen. Hope hasn’t been seen in Greg’s reign much, if at all. Same with Ebobisse.
I’d love to see Ferreira played with the number 1s and see how he fits, but I think we are looking at Gyasi/Sargent and the possibility of one of the others (likely Hope if he maintains form) going into qualifying.

Gyasi can't play the same role that Ferreira does when he's been deployed. But I think Weah and Sargent certainly can.
And if I am not mistaken Weah has played in a 2 striker role for Lille this season. I would love to see him get a look there for us

What’s going on with Reynolds at Roma? Is he hurt? I don’t think he’s made a matchday squad yet.

All of them?

He has used him everytime he has been healthy, which hasn't been often.

Well you see, there was this pandemic thing that has only allowed for the USMNT to play 4 matches since March 2020.

You don't find it telling that Zardes wasn't called in to either of the last two MLS-based camps?
Yeah, he will still be used in qualifying, but thinking that he and Sargent are above everyone else is laughable.
Sure, those names I listed aren't exactly loaded with MNT experience, but I still stand by my point that it is a shite ton deeper than the 2018 cycle when the three options were Jozy, Wood and Zardes, or the 2014 cycle when it was Jozy and GAM off the trash heap, or 2010 when we were calling in Conor Casey for key qualifiers and then called in Edson Buddle and Robbie Findley for the World Cup.
We have legitimate options at striker this time, and not just options, but options with potential.

I don't. I think they were just giving him more time off. He's still one of the first 2-3 strikers to make the teamsheet.

Never said he wasn't, but I have a feeling he won't be by the end of qualifying.

Other guys will need to really step up in the next 13 months to do that.

If you are basing this on the last 2 US camps, the Nov-Dec one was in the middle of the playoffs, and he was given extra time off in January (season ended in mid-December).
