Please Adrian, there is only so much sufferball we can suffer:

Seattle Reign

A striker

Only two clubs have scored fewer goals or created less xG than the Seattle Reign this year and only one has attempted fewer shots. Maddie Mercado has done alright in her stints up top, scoring two goals in nine starts, but Mia Fishel, last season’s splashy signing, has nary a goal contribution to her name. Defense does win championships, but getting enough points to qualify for the playoffs requires goals. A team as historically ambitious and successful as the Seattle Reign needs better goalscorers, and what better way to facilitate that than with the signing of an in-form striker?
