Rumors have been flying around Chicago that the Fire are looking to either bench or trade star striker Nemanja Nikolic. This is partially as a result of his slow start, and well as the solid performances of Chicago’s other attacking options. This is a bad decision for Chicago’s front office. They need to put their faith and confidence in their forward; stick with him and support him through his slow start. If they do, they’ll reap the rewards as the season goes on.
Patience, they say, is a virtue. And the Fire have proven that many times over.
