Diego Rubio joined Sporting KC just six weeks ago when fans were desperate for someone to replace the attacking options lost without Krisztian Nemeth. Peter Vermes doesn’t want people making that comparison.
“Everybody has these ideas,” Vermes told reporters after Wednesday morning’s training session. “Listen, that player isn’t here any more. I don’t think that way. I just don’t think that way. We’re not here to replace anybody. We’re here to put a team together, and right now we wanted to add another forward. Thus far, he’s done well. Whether he’s going to be here at the end of the loan, I don’t know yet.
