Message: [QUOTE="DeGrozz, post: 2800177, member: 205"] The USMNT has turned me into such a pessimist the last two years. I used to get so giddy over moves like this, now I think "Great, he's moving to back-up one of the greatest goalkeepers in the world who is only 25 years-old. He'll probably never see the field and end up in Matt Miazga situation." In reality, Steffen probably won't see a lot of the field in the near future if this goes through, except for lower level cup games and spelling for an injury. But if he spends a year or two training with Man City he will be forced to work on his distribution (which may be his weakest attribute) and he'll have the opportunity to get loaned out to a sister club like Girona or a Leeds United-type club that Man City has sent MLS product to for development in the past. Steffen could potentially spend the next three cycles as our #1, so a few years of development before getting some real PT in a good league could work out very well for him. [/QUOTE]
