Sad to see that, but we were stocked with players for that spot. He got some exciting goals that’s for sure (and unfortunately let in some too)
I love Gutman, but I think he’s lost a step since his injury. He’s completely disruptive when he goes forward and gets in the box, but his defense mistakes have cost us. Overall this is probably a good move by the FO. Unload an underperforming player to enable a defensive midfielder signing with an international slot. I hope Gutman can find his form and success at Colorado.
Well crud. Who’s gonna fill that gap for us? Gutman is, IMO, a high-value, high-effort, low-cost player — exactly the kinda player you hang on to.
Makes sense. He was on his last year of his contract with an option for another year. Decided to part ways.
I always liked Gutman because he seemed to play with heart every game. Now he can be a defensive liability when he pushes forward, not sure if that comes down to tactics or lack of personnel (Nagbe as a holding mid covered those zones and we are missing a player like that).
I wonder who will step up as left back…Wiley? Hernandez? Luis Abram?
I didn’t realize it was his last year. In that case getting something seems wise.
So what does this mean, like money for the team?
I haven’t been following the team closely this year and the article is behind a paywallWe’re trading him for an international slot for our new DM signing
It’s a shame because he’s not too much on the books and a very serviceable player.
