Inspired by a mailbag question, this series looks at ways the Union could theoretically become a winning side again.
Let’s not mince any words: The Union’s midfield is one giant unadulterated mess, with multiple players who make too much money to be benched for poor play.
Ilsinho, Chris Pontius, Alejandro Bedoya, Haris Medunjanin, and Roland Alberg all make upwards over $350,000. Maurice Edu, who has not yet played this season and did not play at all last season, makes well over that figure. Up until the last game, homegrown player Derrick Jones was starting in the double pivot alongside Medunjanin as Alberg sat on the bench.
