Patience is a virtue when it comes to being a Union fan

Cristiana Maidana is gone. The man who was tied for second in MLS this past season with 15 assists and an all-time team high. He was arguably one of the few positives in a very long, horrid 2015 Union season. Poof, like a puff of smoke he is gone. What do the Union get in return, you may ask? Oh well that would be a bunch of funny money and a first-round (crap shoot) draft pick. Add to the mix an overpaid (rumored to be $420,000), seemingly on the decline Chris Pontius, and you have a recipe for a nervous and pessimistic start to the Union offseason for the Philadelphia faithful.
