No Cigarettes in His Mouth

Gonzalo Higuain will be back for another season with the Saints. He still has something left in the tank, and actually looks in better shape in training than he did all of 2021.

Kamara Is Very Deserving

Ola Kamara is a lethal striker in the league. Regardless of his age (32-years-old,) and how many goals he scored from the penalty spot in 2021, Kamara still was tied for top scorer last season. On top of that, looking at his stats shows why he has to be signed as a Designated Player. Kamara has played 143 MLS matches; in those matches, he’s scored 74 goals and notched 16 assists. That’s a goal contribution about every 75 minutes he’s on the pitch.

Kreilach Protected

The first player to be signed for 2022 will be Damir Kreilach. The hero of the postseason! Gateway United is ready to open trade talks to whomever is interested.

Two Kamara's

Gateway United will be starting its 12th season looking to qualify for the playoffs for a 5th straight year. The club has amassed 102 wins in the regular seasons, and 6 league championships.

Lodeiro Will Still Be A Saint

Nicolas Lodeiro will remain with the Saints as a Designated Player. His numbers speak for themselve as he is a star in this league. However, a complete overhaul is expected to surround him as Gateway United will look to get a lot younger than the roster has been in seasons past.
