Stumptown Preview: What Fanendo Adi means to the Portland Timbers

33 goals in 69 appearances. 26 goals since the start of the 2015 season. Fanendo Adi has consistently been one of the best forwards in the MLS since his arrival in 2014. The young Nigerian fits in so well with the surrounding pieces; offering a large target for the skill players like Darlington Nagbe and Diego Valeri to find and combine with, while also offering wingers like the Rodney Wallace of old and the Lucas Melano of new a target on their whipped in crosses. His skill set has fit in so well with the Portland Timbers and with his hamstring injury that he picked up on Sunday against New York City FC, the team could be forced to adapt and change their attack without him.
