Sam Adekugbe

And a player like Tate Johnson, who we'll speak about in the next part, obviously, he's been running to the ground.

You're not helped by the fact now that Sam Adekugbe's injured again.

But you've got Mikhail Gerasimenkov, and I know he's not played a lot, but he's playing for the Moldovan national team.

He's a good quality player.

He's one of a few.

Sam Adekugbe is out.

Javon Badwal is out.

Kenji Cabrera, Bilal Halboubi is out, and then of course, their defensive minutes leader, Tristan Blackmon, he got an early red against LAFC.

Third or fourth highest paid player on the team.

Think s- him and Sam Adekugbe are around the same point of salary.

Speaking of, uh, Tate Jonson looks gassed, 'cause this guy has played a lot of games.

Uh, surely we'd see Sam Adekugbe get his start and, like an extended start, not just 50, 60 minutes at some point.

You know what? We're now at the point of the season where you're not only considering playoffs, but you're considering the off-season.

And in terms of what players are going to be around for next year, and what players do you s- kind of start to think, like, there might be some sort of movement.

Is this someone that you think, you know, can you send him back to France?

Or anywhere else.

And dude, I, I find it so weird.

When I watch Sam Adekugbe now, like, a guy that's been around forever, this is like a, like, lit- I still think of s- like, little Sam Adekugbe, like this kid that we, I feel like we watched grow up [chuckles] and now he, he's gone and played all over the world.

He's played for Canada.

He's, like, a veteran.
