“It’s nice to talk about the big names but Jason and I need complementary players as much as you need the star players,” [said] Reyna. “I think that’s what we have learned from the likes of Beckham and Henry going over there. It is important to build a well-rounded team as well.”

Solid story by Rich Jolly of ESPN FC. In a league like MLS, with its arcane salary structures, your complementary players might be even more critical for success than your stars. It seems like Claudio Reyna and Jason Kreis understand this, which bodes well for NYCFC.
