Mohammed Abu is the most Columbus Crew SC signing imaginable. So much so that when my colleague Pat Murphy first caught glimpse of his rumored signing, my first thoughts were “this nearly sounds too logical of a signing to be real.”
A lot goes into the transfer of a player, and even more so a foreign one into Major League Soccer. Because of this you can’t get every player you would want. There is so much that goes into a single transfer that in the end, some transfers make no sense at all.
And then there is the signing of Mohammed Abu.
