Real Monarchs’ fatal flaw to RSL development

There has been some frustration expressed by fans regarding the lack of recent additions during the summer transfer window. The frustration stems from the apparent need of a striker and the recent failings of our past two signings at that position.

However, something that we did not hear much of during this transfer window was how we had one of the most prolific scorers in the United States under our very own roof. Sebastian Soto scored 42 goals in 27 games for the RSL Academy U-18/19 team last season. Granted, academy goals don’t necessarily translate into MLS goals, but one has to think that a talented goal scorer is an asset, and an asset worth signing.
