Sporting Director Georg Heitz made it clear a few weeks ago that “continuity” is a priority heading into the 2021 season and the January transfer window.
After all, the Chicago Fire FC that you saw in 2020 was akin to an expansion team if you look at the amount of new signings (18).
He did, however, add that there would be a few new signings and Levski Sofia’s (Bulgaria) Stanislav Ivanov is now the Fire’s third acquisition this off-season along with striker Chinonso Offor and defender Jhon Espinoza.
I don’t like to hype up new signings too much -- especially when they are coming over from a different country -- because their performance is dependent on so much more than just their footballing ability.
