Columbus Crew were smart to continue believing in Gyasi Zardes
It’s about time for Columbus Crew supporters to jump back on the wagon of forward Gyasi Zardes. If there’s a favorite MLS player that you’re thinking of giving up on, consider the Zardes story. Late last year supporters and media were pounding posts out railing how Zardes failed to meet the standards of his contract. He was the team’s highest-paid player and he was just not playing like it.
Add to that the fact that one season earlier, LA Galaxy had traded Zardes to the Crew for forward Ola Kamara.
