It’s never too early to plan ahead, and with the announced departure of Tranquillo Barnetta at the end of this season, I wanted to take a look at some options the Union had in the midfield in 2017. Now obviously a lot will change between now and then - a player may be selected during the Expansion Draft, someone may be put on waivers, the Union may sign someone either from MLS or abroad. But looking just at what they have right now may provide us a glimpse of what we can expect next season.
Alejandro Bedoya will be a critical piece of this puzzle.
