Why Júlio Baptista is the Right Fit for Orlando City

Júlio Baptista joined Orlando City and the move came with some concerns from me, evidenced by the piece I wrote in March in which I stated this move did not make Orlando City better. I stated the back line needed help and restructuring, and that it was going to be the back line that would come back to haunt us. The club has started to look to provide depth with the possible moves for Stoke City's Dionatan Teixeira and former Dundee United defender Gavin Gunning.

Baptista has come to this team and brought the veteran leadership that is needed with a team of young players.
