The sale of Przemyslaw Frankowski on Wednesday is good for the long-term health of the Chicago Fire. The 3 million dollar fee is going to help the club build in the future and is proof to all the young talent around the world that you can come to Chicago, ball out, and move on to bigger and better clubs; and the club will let you. It also increases the club’s reputation around the world as a place where talent is developed and good players can be had.
Unfortunately, with that reputation comes the reality for a fanbase that has been starved of success.
