The offseason brings transfer rumors. Most Crew SC fans are looking forward to the reinforcements that might be coming in. The prospect of losing players, however, is usually much less welcome news. The possibility that Harrison Afful leaving would be a big blow to a team that has has significant defensive issues in 2015.
Afful may have been the best right back in MLS since his arrival. He's a perfect fit for the Crew SC, he pushes forward with aplomb and is solid defensively. Head coach Gregg Berhalter puts a lot of responsibilities on his outside backs and Afful has been up to the task.
