The simple reason why Columbus Crew must stay away from latest MLS free agent

The Columbus Crew defeated FC Cincinnati 4-0 last Sunday to tie their three-legged first-round MLS playoff matches. The series will be decided this weekend, with the Crew full of confidence. Their manager, Wilfried Nancy, is one of the most highly rated in MLS, so he must ensure he recruits the right characters to the club.

It has recently been revealed that Josef Martinez will be leaving the San Jose Earthquakes at the end of the year. This is despite Martinez scoring 14 goals with three assists in 30 MLS regular-season games this campaign.

Martinez had great success with Atlanta United whom he won the MLS Cup.
