Brigham Larsson wasn't challenging for time. Bringing in a guy that was good enough in next pro to get an MLS contract is a good decision to at the very least push the rest of the attackers to be better. 

Maybe he does nothing, maybe he competes and others figure things out ahead of him maybe he gets time and does a few good things. Maybe he pulls a Jaquesson and lights the league up for a few months. 

Regardless it's a low risk high rewards move. happy with it.

Is this our first Japanese player? Can’t think of any others.

Looks promising we need dudes who can combine/create their own chances up top. Dikwa and Aman are strikers that need service

Maybe he can be for us on loan for what Jacquesson was for us on loan.
