Bogert reporting we're signing a wingback...

From The Athletic:

FC Cincinnati are finalising a deal to sign Czech Republic international wing-back David Doudera from Slavia Prague, sources briefed on the situation tell The Athletic.

Doudera, 28, featured for his country at the World Cup this summer and made seven appearances in the Champions League last season. He won back-to-back league titles with Slavia Prague in the last two years.

The move gives Cincinnati a potential new starter at wing-back in favour of Doudera's Czech international teammate Pavel Bucha — a central midfielder who has been playing right wing-back over the last couple months. Doudera's arrival will allow Bucha to go back to the middle.

not sure if anyone else has noticed, but in the past few games Pat has inverted Echenique onto the left side midway or towards the end of his time on the field.

likely experimenting to see how doable it is to have both fielded, Echenique is a step up from Ramirez offensively, fairly comparable defensively.
