What We Learned from the Fire’s Florida Swing

I love Luka Stojanovic. Out of all of Georg Heitz's first attempts at making signings, he’s not only been the best player to come out of them, he’s been their best player, period. Despite some shaky performances early on in his recovery from major knee surgery, he’s become an increasingly productive part of an improving Chicago Fire offense. However, he’s not a true difference-maker. If he was, he’d be in a top 5 league making 8 figures a season and playing in the Champions League quarterfinals. And maybe he’ll get there one day. But for the moment, the Fire do not have that guy who can grab the game by the scruff of their neck and win it by themselves.
