I see you sitting there, asking why Real Salt Lake needs a midfielder, and why rumors have just started floating around about Chilean midfielder Cristóbal Jorquera. And you know what? I get it. We need a center back, you’re saying, and I agree with you.
But rumors about signing a midfielder shouldn’t be taken as evidence that we’re not signing a center back — and sure, I know what you’re thinking right now, too. We’ve heard we’re looking center backs for how long now? RSL general manager Craig Waibel has been clear in that for two years now, and we still haven’t signed a top-level center back.
