Orlando City’s Summer Signings are Proving Their Value

Orlando City needed reinforcements during the summer window. Silvester van der Water and Sebas Mendez were both transferred, which left the Lions with positions that needed to be filled. Even before their departures though, the team had some depth and firepower issues at winger and defensive midfield, and a summer schedule that was packed to the brim with games was beginning to take its toll. Help arrived in the form of three players — striker/winger Nicholas Gioacchini, winger Ivan Angulo, and defensive midfielder Wilder Cartagena. Their arrivals have helped provide a spark for an Orlando team that was beginning to sputter, and I’d like to take a look at the impact they’ve provided.
