At some point, I knew it was going to happen.
It’s one of the difficulties of Minnesota United having so many classy players. When one club has the likes of Jerome Thiesson, Ethan Finlay, Francisco Calvo, and so, so many others, one of them was bound to leave at some point. Sam Nicholson happened to be the one to depart.
His arrival was much-rumored and long-awaited last summer, though he struggled with fitness concerns and never really played at his best last season. There were flashes though, like this stunner against the Houston Dynamo in September.
