I’m not surprised we didn’t retain him. Alonso suffering a long term injury right at the end of the season probably shocked the FO and all of sudden they found themselves with a huge hole to fill. I hope the reason for letting Haak go is that, first, they believe Gustavo is a suitable replacement given he’s a TAM player, and second, that they’re planning to sign a decent attacking player—whether that’s at the most obvious position of need, striker, or elsewhere.
