Jacob PetersonGUEST
Um, Ajibeng has been so good.
Jacob PetersonGUEST
A- and he's, he's one of those players who, I'm hesitant to say this, but, uh, Darlington Nagbe.
Cody BradleyHOST
Oh, yeah.
Jacob PetersonGUEST
Different level-
Brett HiltbrandPANELIST
The, the 2020 Columbus Crew team didn't really want the ball that much, and they would give it to teams all the time and say, "See if you can break us down.
Brett HiltbrandPANELIST
We're just gonna let Nagbe turn you over and then go the other way." Um, at that FC Cincinnati team should want the ball.
Brett HiltbrandPANELIST
Like, they should want the ball.
Brett HiltbrandPANELIST
Like, they have players who are able to-
Jeff TebbettsHOST
Yeah, I mean, you, you still have a lot of talent on the bench that's gonna come out as well.
Jeff TebbettsHOST
I mean, Andre Gomes had been that possible replacement, uh, in the midfield for Darlington Nagbe.
Jeff TebbettsHOST
Uh, you have, uh, Jamal Tiree, who scored that big, uh, first goal against FCC-
Michael AraceGUEST
Right
8 MINS LATER
Michael AraceGUEST
Uh, and, uh, for, uh, as far as field players, uh, in back I've got Chad Marshall and Frankie Hejduk.
Jeff TebbettsHOST
Oh, yeah.
Michael AraceGUEST
Um, in the, in the middle of the field I have Darlington Nagbe and Guillermo Barros Schelotto.
Jeff TebbettsHOST
Mm-hmm.
Laurel PfahlerHOST
Yeah.
Laurel PfahlerHOST
I mean, Darlington Nagbe's gone.
Laurel PfahlerHOST
Like-
Eric PfahlerHOST
Mm-hmm
GabeHOST
Man, you think Zarouri is DP quality?
MattHOST
I, what I think is he'll g- if we sign him, he'll probably have a contract close to what Nagbe had, where it was a DP contract but be, could, could get bought down to a tan level player.
GabeHOST
Yeah.
GabeHOST
Here's my thing with that, is I think he's probably not getting paid as much from his team, 'cause he's from, what Greece? Well, his, the team he's currently loaned out from.
MattHOST
[laughs]
GabeHOST
...
GabeHOST
Nagbe numbers right there.
GabeHOST
That is, that is good.
Matthew DoyleGUEST
Um, but it's also like they don't h- I love their central midfield i- in Chris Durkin and in Daniel Edelman.
Matthew DoyleGUEST
They're not Darlington Nagbe, right? Like, the Crew were unpressable because of Darlington Nagbe, and St.
Matthew DoyleGUEST
Louis aren't.
Matthew DoyleGUEST
And so St. Louis know that if there's a chance to go over the top, then we have to go over the top.
Pat MurphyHOST
Mm-hmm
Sam FahmiPANELIST
... with Nagbe and, uh-
Pat MurphyHOST
Agreed
Sam FahmiPANELIST
...
GabeHOST
I mean, he was a beast.
GabeHOST
From 2020 to 2023, he was one of our best players on this team, and he fit with Darlington Nagbe so well.
GabeHOST
The two of them felt unstoppable, and Aidan was just running back and forth.
GabeHOST
There is a reason why he was the first to go to Middlesbrough.
AaronHOST
It's not that they don't have good moments, but it just feels too much like teckers or just like street ball.
AaronHOST
Like it just doesn't feel like, you know, like it, it's not as graceful as watching like, you know, Valeri, Nagbe, Rodney Wallace, you know, be able to kind of like move a bit more kind of organically.
AaronHOST
It doesn't feel that way to me.
ScottHOST
Yeah.
5 MINS LATER
ScottHOST
in 2012, but it wasn't us.
AaronHOST
Where they, they drafted.
AaronHOST
They could have had Darlington Nagbe, and they went for a player I can't even remember anymore.
MattHOST
Exactly.
Jake ZivinGUEST
They had the Cucho Hernandez and Diego Rossi, who they signed in that summer.
Jake ZivinGUEST
They had Darlington Nagbe in the midfield, the, the best midfielder in the history of this league.
Jake ZivinGUEST
Um, but it's eerily similar.
Jake ZivinGUEST
And when you watch St. Louis play, it is just eerily similar.
