  Chicago Fire Loan Christopher Cupps to Scottish Club Greenock Morton

  Aug 27, 202629 min

  Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire have loaned homegrown centerback Christopher Cupps to Greenock Morton FC of the Scottish Championship - the second division in Scotland. While a seemingly underwhelming move, it could have its benefits for the 18 year old up-and-comer who has not seen many minutes with the Fire first team. Tune in as Nick explores the benefits of the move and the concerns he has. Cupps' loan also got Nick thinking - with this loan, the downturn in minutes for Pineda and Oregel, the sale of Gutierrez last season, and the lack of a true back-up striker, has the Chicago Fire gotten away from one of its "bedrock" principles of developing local talent? Nick takes a look at how the Men in Red have handled players such as Chris Mueller, Andrew Gutman, Brian Gutierrez, Chris Brady, Mauricio Pineda, Sergio Oregel, Dean Boltz, Dylan Borso, Jason Shokalook, and Robert Turdean while increasing their international signings.

  Scouting Report: Georgian International Anzor Mekvabishvili

  Aug 25, 202621 min

  Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire front office continues its pursuit of midfield firepower during the summer transfer window. They have targeted Georgian international Anzor Mekvabishvili, currently playing in Romania's top flight. The Men in Red were turned down by his current club, Universitatea Craiova earlier this year, but the club have stuck with their valuation (reportedly a little above $2 million) and the deal looks close to getting done. The signing seems to fit the Fire's profile for recent midfield targets: Kevin De Bruyne, Patrick Berg, and Leon Goretzka. However, they've settled for Dje D'Avilla and Anton Saletros, whose performances in the midfield leave soemthing to be desired on a team with trophy aspirations. Tune in to hear Nick's takes on the transfer target, including how the Fire got to this point/what need they're trying to fill, what's the profile of Mekvabishvili, and how will he integrate to the team. If this signing goes the way the Fire want it to, Mekvabishvili will unlock the offense and control matches from his midfield position. If this is a bust, then the Fire will have another decent defensive midfielder taking up an international roster slot. What do you think about the transfer target? How will Mekvabishvili fare in Major League Soccer?

  Chicago Fire FC Leagues Cup Preview vs. Necaxa, Santos Laguna, and Cruz Azul

  Aug 4, 202620 min

  Hey, soccer fans! It's that time of year again - Leagues Cup is back! The Chicago Fire and Major League Soccer take on their southern rivals from Liga MX in the latest edition of the tournament.

Nick also gives his opinion on how the Chicago Fire should approach the tournament. Given their poor play post-World Cup and their health issues, Leagues Cup should be a time for the club to develop depth and give the back half of their roster a lot of minutes. The MLS schedule doesn't get any easier for the Fire with a home match vs. Portland and road games at Orlando, New York, and Seattle right after. Tune in and join the conversation!
