Well, he isn’t a winger and if he was he’d never start over Pulisic or Weah.  If we were playing a 433, where do you think he plays.  

I'm talking about his potential and what we thought of him 3 years ago. When he went for over 30 million Euros. He was playing winger for the US. I don't think Weah was rated above him at that point. He was just as good as Pulisic at times. 

Maybe we're talking past each other. I'm not trying to be a dick.

I think the biggest thing was that we saw Aaronson 3 years ago and thought the sky's the limit. His work rate and where he, was we expected big things. But what we didn't realize was that he was at or near his ceiling then, so he wasn't going to make too many more jumps.

Aaronson was so much better last night than he has ever been. 

He plateaued and was definitely a candidate for a “Brenden Aaronson is not our standard!” flyover banner for the last 18 to 24 months, but last night he showed awareness, composure, and decisiveness at a level that we’ve never seen before. 

The way he worked the Aussie defender into opening up so that he could send in a perfect nutmeg pass to Luna (that Diego didn’t life over the keeper for a sure goal) will sit with me for a while. That was Pulisic “feelin’ it” / “feelin’ himself” level bossing it in the final third. 

Don’t know if we saw a one-off exceptional Brenden or if that is just his new level, but he was very impressive.

Aaronson has been playing pretty well in the prem this year even though it's not showing up on the stat sheet. Since he was put into the starting line-up, they have 4 points in 4 matches and should have had a draw against Fulham but lost it in stoppage time. I'd still like to have him on the squad, but I'm trying to figure out who I'd leave off to bring him in.
