The Striker Debate

So, with the rumors stating that we are going to get Fabian Espindola back for RSL, I was pretty excited. He was one of my favorite players for RSL, and I was sad when he left. When he was healthy, he was one of the better players that we had.
However, I am hearing that a lot of people are relieved that we are getting Fabi, because they feel like we are struggling with our strikers, and he will be able to help out and possibly replace Yura Movsisyan.
While Yura has yet to find the back of the net, I personally do not feel like he is struggling. After watching the first three games, Yura is putting a lot of pressure on opposing keepers. He is forcing them to make a lot of excellent saves (did you guys see the great header against DC). I think that having Espindola back, as well as Escalada will only strengthen our attack, and make us one of the most feared teams in the league.
What our your thoughts on Espindola's return? How have you felt the play of Yura Movsisyan has been?
As always, let me know what you would like to see from this blog in the future.

I thought that Yura looked very threatening in the first two games of the season. I didn't catch the last game though, but from what I have seen he really opens the game up for the other attacking players and had a great work rate putting pressure on the opposing back four.

Also, I was wondering if they had come out with who the MLS All Stars will be playing?

The rumors that I have heard on the All Star game is either Valencia or Villareal. Not sure who it will be yet. Normally it is announced by this time, so it is getting to be pretty annoying.
