With the departure of Jordan Morris on loan (and maybe more) to Swansea City, there is a necessary wariness from Seattle Sounders fans. It is the end of an era, probably. Morris produced at an MVP quality and did so at a budget-friendly cap hit.
Replacing that quality will be difficult. Sounders President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey mentioned that there are two main complications to that task — not knowing if the loan is a permanent move means that they cannot spend 100% of the newly available cap space; and scouting during the global Covid-19 pandemic complicates the final stages of that activity, which involves personality assessments.
