Headed into this season, we weren’t 100% sure where exactly he’d fit after he was acquired from Portland. Would he play on the left wing at the spot vacated by Yamil Asad, a position he was called upon to fill with the Timbers? Would he play centrally, even with some legitimate options on the rolls?
That answer became a little clear in the coming weeks of Nagbe’s arrival; Carlos Carmona headed home to Chile to be closer to his family; the team brought in Ezequiel Barco, who has settled in at the primary left wing after his return to the lineup.
