Chicago Fire Loan Christopher Cupps to Scottish Club Greenock Morton

from Feed the Fire: A Chicago Fire Podcast · host Bleav + Glass House Soccer

Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire have loaned homegrown centerback Christopher Cupps to Greenock Morton FC of the Scottish Championship - the second division in Scotland. While a seemingly underwhelming move, it could have its benefits for the 18 year old up-and-comer who has not seen many minutes with the Fire first team. Tune in as Nick explores the benefits of the move and the concerns he has. Cupps' loan also got Nick thinking - with this loan, the downturn in minutes for Pineda and Oregel, the sale of Gutierrez last season, and the lack of a true back-up striker, has the Chicago Fire gotten away from one of its "bedrock" principles of developing local talent? Nick takes a look at how the Men in Red have handled players such as Chris Mueller, Andrew Gutman, Brian Gutierrez, Chris Brady, Mauricio Pineda, Sergio Oregel, Dean Boltz, Dylan Borso, Jason Shokalook, and Robert Turdean while increasing their international signings.
