If you ask Chicago Fire supporters what the biggest problem with the team on the pitch is right now, a number of them will say it’s the club’s failure to replace David Accam after trading him to the Philadelphia Union in the offseason.
I think this is mostly right, but a bit more precision is called for. We never replaced 2017 David Accam. That’s who we’re missing. If we didn’t send him to Philly, we would’ve just ended up with 2018 David Accam on the roster. Per MLSSoccer.com, 2018 David Accam has logged 698 minutes, zero goals, zero assists, and seven shots on goal.
